Now that I have been using my vintage Tamiyas I have got right back into them - what great fun they are (even thoughI am 30! ;) )

Spent a few pennies on my old Mud Blaster come Grave Digger truck to get it going again after 15 years of a broken gearbox - the spec now is: CVA shocks, fully ball-raced, Tamiya Sport Tuned 540 running from an Mtroniks Viper Eco20 ESC and a Grave Digger polycarbonate shell - it goes very well! Although I dont seem to have full reverse - anyone know the best way to set up the ESC? I have a very old Futaba Attack R controller.

Anyway - here are the pics... :D

Here is the lunchy after a very messy but fun afternoon - spot the broken rear shock mount - d'oh! It has a standard silver 540 with a MSC and a Hornet pinion which makes it very lively!

Hope you like them! :D

Used the Grave Digger in anger for the first time last night - talk about making the Lunchbox seem rubbish! It corners for a start and goes like stink while still being torquey! Just need to upgrade the halfshafts to Frog ones....

I dont know the part number I am afraid - but they are the standard length CVA oil filled shocks - makes it much less bouncy!

Had another evening hooning them about last night - they really are great, great fun!!
