Happy ebay day. Found this "Super G" with radio and arrived today, in very good shape ! Just had to find new stickers (don't have the orignal one), new oil for shocks and buy a ball bearing set. A good cleaning and rock on !

Vintage Tamiya Grasshopper 2 restored
Philyon replied to Tamegin's topic in Vintage Tamiya Discussion
Nice work ! I always wanted to find one of these SG's. -
Nice one ! I had the '87 white model, I crashed it in less than 30min during the first run after a bad receipt.. The shop changed it by a new red one. It was my first and Last Nikko, but very nice model indeed. After the Dictator I got the GH2.

Philyon replied to evssv69's topic in Anything not RC related goes here
What nice topic, and what a collection you have ! I'm waiting for a mini NIB Kyocho Rocky 4wd from my postman in few days and I'm looking for a mini Grasshopper 2. I saw some variant about this mini gh2, in pearl gold like this one : https://www.ebay.fr/itm/Tamiya-No-16-Grasshopper-Iijr-1-32-Racer-Mini-4Wd-Series/254175166491?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D133d54a6e2b5406b9596d17e50563a87%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D333151360105%26itm%3D254175166491&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A16b310e0-780e-11e9-89e8-74dbd1808a50|parentrq%3Ac20c5e4016a0aa4874c9b374ffc39972|iid%3A1 Awesome price for a mini. I'll try to find the classic version. -

Philyon replied to Mokei Kagaku's topic in Re-Release Discussions
She looks nice. The packaging is different from the original one but this is a very nice opportunity to buy the very first Tamya car i've owned. They must re-re the Super G too ! -
I allready have the original but... I want it. :)
-
Yes, thanks. In the meantime I found a french website that offers this. Not yet avalaible but less expensive.
-
I'd like to find the starter pack 82140 with.
-
Not so expensive, An original NIB cost almost twice.
