Project: Tamiya Monster Hilux Restore and DRIVE!!!

[@XBobbyVegasX]

Wow, Christmas of '89 I got the King Cab (still have it). Transferred my electronics from Monster Beetle, was rolling on the 26th hahaa. Awesome vid and thanks, brought back great memories.

That was my first R/C too. it's long gone now. Brings back memories though. It was always so hard to find parts for when something broke.

[@andrewsumner5388]

Omg what a flash back. I had the MRC Nissan King Cab virtually the same rig. 👍🏽

Hello Chuck from Cincinnati ohio, your videos are worth the wait. Back in 1993 I had a nikko turbo hopper and my best friend got the hilux monster racer for his birthday. I was blown away by how awesome his truck was compared to the nikko. He jumped it off of our back deck and the truck went down into the hole for our septic tank while the lid was off for service. Haha that was a crappy day for him. His hilux is was got me into hobby grade RC. My first truck was a traxxas stampede Kit version when it first came out in late 1993 or early 1994. I still love and collect vintage RC today, I drive a Semi truck and pickup marketplace deals while I'm over the road, there is a lot of RC in Southern Michigan. Thank you so much for sharing this video, it really took me back in time.

So great! Thanks for the story! What a great idea to check marketplace in whatever city you're in as you travel! There are great vintage R/C deals out there if you keep your eyes open!! Thanks again!

Keep it up. I enjoy watching your videos and the information you share. Especially the info on older cars and stuff that I have no knowledge of. Regardless if it has to do with racing or not I still enjoy it while wrenching on my stuff in the garage. Glad to see you making new ones

[@vintagerctour5302]

Thanks! Hope to ramp up the video production this year! Stay tuned!

Wow my first was a BLACKFOOT and the same radio as you, also the SPORT and I even ran a manual speed control that I burned myself often on the resistor.

[@vintagerctour5302]

Oh, man! Yeah, those resistors were awful! Lol!

[@ishotjrdotcom]

Wowww p. sure I had the same Tx and ESC! (it's in the garage, I'll check!)

[@stevendevine1280]

What weight oil are you running in those shocks. Just kidding cool video hearing it run takes me back.

[@vintagerctour5302]

Lol! I'd be surprised if there was ANY oil left in em! Still ran great. That was so fun. Thanks for watching!
