Oldie-schrauber 0 Posted October 27, 2011 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 Greeting from switzerland Lukas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gozone 30 Posted October 27, 2011 Nice findings there. BTW, the "unknown" Tamiya buggy with the Puch-sticker is a BigWig. Cheers.. Michael Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gozone 30 Posted October 27, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
