Default Tomy the intruder of the 4wd world!

You could say tomy were intruders of the 4wd rc world. I don't think many people at the time expected them to enter the competitive arena. Nevertheless, I think their entries were commendable but unfortunately short-lived.

I never knew about Tomy's cars until quite recently. Anyhow I picked up a runner on eBay from down under. It was being used as a tourer or carpet buggy on foams. It needed a complete strip down before I could get working on it. I also installed hop up options including Kose wheel hubs and universals all around, yz10 black rims, cf upper deck and rear gearbox stay and a new shiny screw kit.

I won't bore you with countless build pics. Here is where I've reached so far.












Sorry about the grainy look of the pics...I'll try to sort out some HD shots later. I think it's looking pretty trick so far. Tranmsision is really smooth. Not much to go now!
