My restored Tamiya King Cab is heading for a new adventure. This time it´s near Vienna: The Vienna Quest -
I have been looking for this truck for years! I wanted one of these since a kid but unfortunately my mother was a single parent of 4 kids so I had to settle with a tyco bandit but I was appreciative and loved my bandit too pieces..literally lol but as I got older and had kids of my own I said I would one day get one of these trucks and boy was it a challenge! Tamiya never re released this one for some reason and trying to find one for a decent price is very challenging. I love the king cab so much I made my tyco bandit and other RC trucks into one. Now I don't have to anymore! No the body olis not original and im fine with that but everything else is and big boy never look so good to me. I am overjoyed today!

Hi Tamiya Retro Fans! About a month ago I got good advice here on my Traxxas Gearbox project. Thank you again! Well... it is more or less done! I went so far and replaced not only the gearbox but also the lower arms, uprights and axles with new Traxxas ones. The result is a MONSTER! But it works brilliant. Check out my first test Video. More videos will follow! The restauration as it stand now: - new TBG replacement body + MCI Racing decals - Light Kit - Cockpit with articulated driver head. - Gopro mount inside cockpit Hope you like the action!

I am a Tyco and Tamiya RC collector I love the bandit and really love the King Cab but its really hard to find a king cab in good condition so for now I decided to make one of my old beat up bandits into one. I have seen people do this before but never use the bandit chassis they usually will use just the bandit body and a hobby grade chassis so I decided to build it using all tyco parts and some upgrades. It has custom lights, engine sound, servo, 4700kv brushless motor and a 60A esc running on a 3s lipo battery. I like the way it turned out and it will hold me down until I finally find a King Cab. I will upload video's of it running soon. Thanks!

I’ve wanted to build a larger replica of the Tyco Bandit, and I’ve always liked the pathfinder body that comes on the King Cab... can someone give me some measurements on the body?? Specifically the width front and rear.... thank you

Does Tamiya ignore their fanbase by NOT releasing a decent Racing Monster Truck, a là the KingCab/Hilux Monster Racer chassis? I appreciate the complex systems used in their 3-speed trucks, but you could hardly call them racing material. Same goes for the big Clods and TXT-1s. I consider the Twin Detonator-type trucks to be more beginner's models than racing inclined. The Vayra on the other hand, looks interesting (never thought I'd see an Avante with big fat tyres!). I would buy a King Cab re-release in a heartbeat, but it seems I'm in the minority here
