I have made a little progress today.

Found suitable fixings for the front shocks so they could attach to the suspension arms.

Fixed up rest of the electrics including a ko propo ps2000 FET servo and sub c saddle pack. I also fixed the eccentric diff housings. The front belt has been set a little tighter than the rear.

I have also temporarily fixed the undertray though the shell is going to be a little difficult as there are no cut lines. Undertray was hastily cut but I will smoothen this out later. The wing is not the original one but a nice alternative I think.

Transmission feels very smooth. I suspect gearing will be similar to the yz10?

Right! All finished now!

Using the net as reference I managed to cut the body to fit! I used different pictures to get an idea of the cut lines. It wasn't very difficult.

I had the Adonis repro decals so used what I can for the shell. I think the end result is really impressive! However, I have been working on getting some repro intruder decals printed, and I'm just waiting on some samples to determine the quality.

So stay tuned!

Man that thing looks killer!!!!!

Looks great! I have the same wheels/hubs/shafts on mine to save the originals as mine is a runner..

Keep me posted on the decals!

Have you tinted the screen?

The body reminds me of the original Yokomo BMAX4.

Couldn't agree more...turned out with an aggressive styling,

Yep!

And the paint style really makes it POP in a vintage way.

Once I get some repro decals done i will let interested ooplers know.

Yeah I've done the same too...I'm sure I could use them for a yz10!

Thats a stunner for sure Naushad, lovely looking buggy, loving the red shell and large Tomy decals!

Another superb build

Very nice build and love the paint scheme. :thumbsup:

Naushad I prey if you get this stunning machine onto a race track that someone has a GoPro HD or a DSLR camera handy to snap some in action video or snaps.
That would make the risk of damage in any way worth it.

Any joy on the decals? :) desperate to get mine finished now.... even found some spares for it so I can risk racing it a bit....

I was lucky to have one back in the day, Running in the RRCi Standard series i can remember making many A finals with it, Exeter, Worksop and the finals at Oswestry in one year that helped me pick up a deal with AGR motors at the time. Amazing car and wish i kept it. only have the mag pictures from the race meetings. I ran Yok wheel adapters but also made laydown shock towers from FRP. Wish i never sold it.

Hi, still waiting to get in touch with some technical bods to get the right type of decal sheet. I will update you ASAP!

Can you dig out those pics so we can have a look?

Some Success
 

I've finally m aged to speak to the xerox sales rep and she has kindly provided some da la sheets to print on. I'll be using a xerox 700i.

here is my Tomy EX......very old thread..... :)

I want!

These Tomy Intruders look really well designed and beautifully built!
Did they ever get a driver to get them to the Euros or worlds??

My littlens were thrashing a GX buggy around only this morning. :)

I think they were successful in some UK titles, but their appearance was ony short-lived.

There where no model shops that stocked the cars or parts, but the few that did show up where quick but i seam to remember wheels falling off. Was i big leap in design for sure.

I loved my intruder
I swapped the hubs for yokomo dog fighters
Because the hub nuts was a pain to get hold of
But Graham's pits stop in Northampton used to stock every thing for them
As his son was a team driver
Gpm made ever part in aluminium wish bones hubs etc
It was so much faster than the boss cats and the dog fighters
I've had mine for over 20 years and still the best car I've driven
