I know I can buy one.
I just have always known Tamiya to never leave any detail out of their 1/14 scale rigs.
I wonder why they didn't put one in this kit?????

So I am building the new Tamiya Cascadia.
I was just wondering why they don't have a smokestack for it?
I was really hoping to put a smoke system in it to give realism, but there is no stack (Exhaust Stack)???????

Rubber sealed bearings and a 4CH radio for the Cascadia.

So I just bought one and it will be here Tuesday.
Any suggestions?
I have owned a King Hauler before.

So I bought this kit new.
It came with a Carson .15 motor (Don't think it was the original motor)
The air filter is definitely too old to use. So I ordered a Motor Saver air filter kit.
I also ordered a CVEC tuned exhaust pipe.
Just need to order an exhaust header, glow plug, fuel line and a fuel filter.
Plus I want to replace the hubs the wheels attach to.
They are the kind that do not have pins and I hate them.
I think I can substitute some kind of Tamiya hub so I can use hex's that slide over a pin.
Here are some pic's.

Get used to it. If you bashed the Sonic or the Striker hard they always broke.

I loved my 5b when I had it but running it got harder and harder finding places to bash it and I just got fed up with getting frowned at even if I took it to a out the way place people would then turn up with dogs etc and moan and wine on! "Shouldn't be allowed" and that wonderful saying that's popular in the UK "it should be banned" we just love to ban anything that involves enjoyment over hear!😕
That's sad!
I went to my old submarine base and ran it where they have some really nice hills and jumps.
There was a young couple that were admiring it, and they didn't mind the dust I stirred up as well!

Was it a 5B?
This is a 5th scale buggy not a 1/10th.
-
Swapped out the Receiver Battery in the Rovan 5B.
It was originally a 2000mAh and would last one tank of gas (1 Hour).
Now I can run about 2 1/2 tanks (2.5 Hours) on one receiver battery charge.
These are Sub C batteries. The same size used in 1/10 NiMh battery packs!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got the door handles, wipers, headlights, and mirrors installed on the Orlandoo Jeep.
