description  Well I still fight the 'buy a tamiya' urge but I like many have kept or aquired that 'special part' after a project has moved onto someone else's showroom or garage the spare part might be key or totally insignificant and maybe worthless to others, but the fact you have 'that part' nags and nags or maybe Anyhow this highly modified vanquish has been in several showrooms and I have been lucky enough to get it back a couple times and continue its modifications The 'special part' this time was a rogue elements alloy fuel filler that I bought through Tc way back from rogue elements. This buggy is roughly based on a vanquish but with modified alloy chassis plates, egress wheels/tyres/dampers. Fitted with a modified RR shell, modded super champ roof and a one off j-man rear SRB type cage and alloy engine. This time the buggy came back, it's received the alloy fuel filler/cap, a new dyna tech motor and a drivers seat. Following the last time I traded it a few of the custom stickers had some signs of wear so have replaced some and added the key 'dyna tech' one to the side along with new orange tyre lettering. Further down the line I think lights could do with replacing with LED's and hope to fit dummy disc brakes behind the rims. Hope you like it (again) 'til next time

I love it when this onepops up in the showroom listings, great blend of parts - all recognisable in their own right but so much better as a whole
