Yes. Nissan King Cab or it's sister, Hilux Monster Racer. Nope. No Re-Re. If they do, I hope they fix the differential.

Ripley FFS. You have any idea what these transaxles cost
-
Can we get a high-res version of that, because that is beautiful!

King Cab / Monster Racer SC10 Tranny Swamp

Search ebay.com for dog bones. That's how I found the 68mm ones. It's never in the title, so dig and dig deep.... -

Just did a little Dremling on the chassis - I'd say it looks ok'ish (: -
King Cab / Monster Racer SC10 Tranny Swamp
Flerbizky replied to jBrinks's topic in Vintage Tamiya Discussion
That looks very much like what I've just done (: Have ordered some 68mm pin to pin dogbones, as the 70.5mm pin to pin from my Blitzer Beetle is definitely at least a couple of mm too long. -
How far would you go to get Tamiya parts?

Who the badword has a 20" kitchen knife? Ò.ó -
I had a brainfart of epic proportions. My first idea a long while ago, was to marry a Blitzer Beetle tranny to a Monster Racer chassis since the MR diff is mostly useless. Then I found another gearbox for the MR which seems to fit, just waiting for recommendation for fitting dogbones. With that out of the way, and having looked so much at the BB gearbox, it suddenly struck me - could it be possible? A 2 layer CRP chassis for a Blitzer? I think so. And I'm armed with a friend with a 3D printer (:

Help with Phillips head screw with the head worn out
Flerbizky replied to Rb4276's topic in General discussions
I can NOT recommend getting a Tamiya screwdriver enough. Makes a world of difference! -
Blitzer Beetler with 9t brushless (:

In this picture, there's o-rings in the outer cups (: Not the camber I'm looking for...
-
What dogbones did you end up with? Please Please Please
-
Tried to assemble my new drivetrain for the King Cab / Hilux Racer. The new gearbox is much more narrow at the output, so the old dogbones at 63.5mm pin to pin is way short. The ones from my Blitzer Beetle at 70.5mm pin to pin is unfortunately about 2 - 2.5mm too long. If I can't find dog bones in the right length, I'll make a new bottom plate spacing the lower a-arm mount out a couple of mm. (There's no o-ring in the outer drive cup in this picture)
-
That would be a DIY job. A drill, a hacksaw and a file or two can make wondreous things
-
How/where do you store your glue? I keep everything in the fridge (next to SWMBOs nail polish) and has never seen this issue.

UHU: http://www.uhu.com/en/products/model-building-adhesives/detail/uhu-plast-spezial-1.html?step=35&cHash=5d376e551c8fb6fd72170083ceb34e74 Used it recently on my cracked Bruiser body. Even though it's old and brittle, I still decided to strip it one final time - and yes. It cracked. Not where I'd used Plast Spezial though.

I've used UHU Plast Spezial - works really well.
-
Not this time no - but the seller has been added to faves (: Thanks!
