My Vintage Tamiya Egress restoration project!

[micholix]

Hello all,

I had the luck to get my hands on an original Tamiya Egress (58079) in very good conditions.
It was covered with dust and did come with full vintage electrics, but the ESC was comming without ist plastics cover, so cant say, what brand it is!?

Does anyone know, which brand it could be, by looking at the Pictures?

I already disassambeled the entire car, ordered some parts and started to clean everything propperly.
the rear wing and the plastic holder was missing, there was some selfmade thick plastik wing on it and just 4 of the original titanium screws where worn and have to be replaced.
Even tires were not glued on the original wheels and the original body and undertray where unpainted, but used, so they show some wear, but i desided to clean them as good as i can und do paint them, it should be looking good, with its marks on them, for a 28 year old car, i guess?
The previus owner must be a machinist, or somthing, cause there are some nice custom made parts on the car.
the original front plastic bulk for the a arm, if i remember correctly, was a week spot on this car, so he made one out of aloy, and also the rear hub carries, but will not put them on the car anymore, because they are not symetric, so i ordered some original plastic once.

Here are some Pictures, as it arrived: (more to follow)

I think it could be a NOSRAM. Looking at the set buttons and FETS. It certainly looks the length and size to be a NOSRAM.

But not 100% on it micholix only guessing............

Thanks for that info sir,

I had a serch for NOSRAM eSC's, but not found one, that match yet!?

From its size, it is close to an airtronics/sanwa super vortex, but no match eather.....

Here is another picture in comparisson to my lrp, may that helps:

I have managed to fined a NOSRAM EXTERMINATOR. NOSRAM also made other models back in the day and were very popular along with TEKIN.

It may not be the EXTERMINATOR but looks very close to a NOSRAM.

Have a look micholix see what you think.

Thanks for the picture, i've seen those nosram esc by dooing some google serch, but this does have some kind of an relay on it, mine doesnt?
Still not found a matching piece, but serch goes on.....

Edit: I've made a close up picture from the board, it looks like quit a bit more modern, with ist Chips and LED's on it, may ist not that vintage than i thought, what do you think?
I'm not that much into electrics, so may could be wrong as well!?
