Just scored this at the lhs for 10 bucks yes you read that right 10 bucks lol

To be truthful, it looks like it's about worth $10.

It's actually a vintage tamiya bullhead

Knowing what it is makes the difference on what it's worth.
Nice score for a vintage Tamiya r/c

I'd been looking to get a bullhead or a clodbuster for awhile this just fell in my lap so to speak. It needs a chassis and a gearbox but other than that it looks to be in good shape

Threw some old radio and a new hobbywing dual esc in it with a battery and it's good to go. Not a bad deal

I take my comment back then. It looked like a dollar store toy to me haha. The more you know.

Super nice find!

Great find for 10 bucks. What are your plans for it?

 

[Kimmie28]

My plans are pretty simple. I want to restore it and run it in stock form. With the hobbywing and a 2s lipo it pulls wheelies with the stock motors and broken gearboxes. Once those are fixed I think it'll be a pretty good runner. Its turned into a replacement for my txt as a runner/ basher

I’d have given £20 for it ?

That wouldn't even cover the shipping from the states?

Lol wish UK could a Tax relief trade deal with the US, I’d want to buy my Losi cars parts without paying import duty and Vat.
mad well as a pair of Cerwin Vega speakers?

 

[Kimmie28]

I guess old brittle parts and brushless power dont mix lol

 

[Kimmie28]

Got a new chassis and new gearboxes in and installed. Seems to be loving the new parts.

[Kimmie28]

I used a traxxas servo y harness to connect both escs to the reciever and made a y harness for the single battery. It works better than I thought and is only running the rear motor for now. I'm waiting for a new pinion for the front motor

Really good deal. did it come with electronics? Either way, $10 is a pretty good deal. Hopefully the gears are not stripped.
