Talking Tamiya "FALCON' build

HI!... Got this Tamiya FALCON for dirt cheap off of ebay. I'm going to restore this one as well to original condition. I pulled the body off and got a bonus. Full Novak Receiver and ESC inside with a vintage battery. :mrgreen:

HI!... Well got the "FALCON" put together tonight. I rebuilt the gearbox and installed all new sealed bearings. Most of it is new. chassis, gear box cases, rear trailing arms, upper/lower front "A" arms, bumper. Still waiting on the new rear/front wheels/tires to show up. Then the rebirth will be complete. :mrgreen:

Nice. Reminds me of the one i used to race, just dont run it as its as brittle a rice paper, one little crash and the chassis snaps.
