Looks like a TA02T chassis but with black gearcases

Yeah it's definitely a TA02. Are the gear cases painted? It kind of looks like they're painted flat black. Have you opened them up? Are they red underneath?

 

I like that propshaft upgrade. If I wasn't a huge sucker for keeping mine original I'd do that. It's a shelf queen though so I guess it doesn't matter haha.

It's got screws instead of hex bolts so at least we know it's a Tamiya!  :D

The hex pattern on the chassis tub says TA-01/DF-01, with the black gear cases saying DF-01, and the narrow arms pointing towards a narrow scale body rather than a buggy. Hummer is a good call - I'd go with that.

It is the ta01 chassis from the hummer kit and not the ready to run version.

I’d say df01, either the ralliart lancer or Porsche Cayenne. Which is the same as the hummer except for body posts/tires.

I hadn't heard of the Hummer before, and now I really want one!


I can't believe I forgot about this. My buddy had one when we were in highschool and I had the S10. The Humvee was really cool. The only problem was it was a bit top-heavy and the front body clip never really worked right.

Haha. Memories coming back.

Definitely the DF-01 Porsche Cayenne, you can see the shell next to the chassis? It's got orange wheels yeah?

I thought it might be. I sold mine a while ago otherwise I would have checked and answered with confidence. @Nikko85 the Hummers are like hens teeth!!! The Cayenne and Mitsubishi aren’t exactly common either!
