vintage RC questions.

[beason]

I found a guy that has a kyosho tracker for sale very cheep. It is in good shape but all stock. he says it may be 10 or more years old.

I know there is a big market for the tamaya vintage rigs and some of you guys have some nice collections.

my question is, is this a good vintage rig? i would be interested in restoring it back to new condition and it be a shelf queen if it carrys the same reputation as say a lunchbox or hi-lift..

any info on this rig would be very helpfull!!

thanks!

I don't know anything about the Tracker, but I do know a little about vintage rigs in general. First and foremost is parts availability. Do a quick search on eBay and see what you come up with. If nothing or very little comes up, it may be difficult to restore the rig.

they guy says its in really good shape, adult owned and hasnt been ran in a long time. so it will be mostly cleanup and making the plastic look new again.
I'm sure the battery is toast but they are easly found..

i checked ebay and came up empty handed.. guess they didnt sell many of these..

guess this one wont be ran very much at all, if i do get it..

I've seen they are bringing back a lot of the old kits. http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=58347
Just a quick search...

Maybe they haven't changed much on them and bringing some of the parts back?
