My latest trash finds

Recommended Posts

Yeah tonight was great for trash picking, I found a Tamiya Gravel Hound and also a Grasshopper II chassis wich will replace the one on my Grasshopper II since the suspension mounting points are badly repaired on that one.

Last weekend I also found the Kyosho Suzuki Race bike, its not complete but its a nice addition to my collection. Also two lexan 1/10 Scale racecar Bodyshells, Opel Calibra and Honda NSX.

A few weeks ago a good friend of mine gave me the Kyosho thrasher and also the Tamiya Buggy, havnt figured it out yet wich modell it is . Same friend also got rid of some other junk and I could salvage a 1990? Kawasaki KDX 125cc Enduro bike, its pretty rotten from all those years outdoors in the rain but a nice project.

So now some pictures of the stuff :D

BTW, the "unknown" Tamiya buggy with the Puch-sticker is a BigWig. :rolleyes:

Cheers..

Oh, and the "Kyosho Thrasher" looks more like a Tamiya Dirt Thrasher with Kyosho Optima Mid wheels (Or some other 4wd Kyosho buggy), but the chassis is Tamiya. :D

DF01/Manta Ray type chassis under the Thrasher body. Great find, well done.

#Edit# Terra Conqueror ? Wow :rolleyes:
