I purchased this TG-10 from Ebay as it came fitted with a few Hop-Ups from the last owner. Didn't need much doing to it. The following was done.
The Chassis.
The chassis was given a very light clean. All the screws were ultrasonically cleaned in meths and then checked. Any non Tamiya rougue screws or damaged ones were replaced. The plastic parts were replaced as required. Some Tamiya period Hop-Ups that I could find were then fitted, the list below details some of them.
The Engine.
The engine is an original Tamiya/OPS VR-15S engine fitted with an electric start system. It has been stripped, cleaned and rebuilt. All new gaskets and screws were used to rebuild it. The heatsink head was re-anodized by www.uberrc.com.
The Body
The bodyshell is the original lightly used one that came with the car from Ebay, just a quick wash is all it needed.
I hope you like it.

This looks great, I really like the carbon deck as well. What's the plan with this one Adam?

It will pretty much stay as it is. Lots more projects to be moving on to.
