Hi fellow modders, While my milling machine is still out of commission I thought to make a start on a long outstanding project. Around 30 years ago I bought and built a Tamiya HiLux 4x4 RC model, but other things got in the way and it has been standing on a shelf since. Have decided to rebuild it completely, cleaning, re-lubricating and repainting. Also opted to replace all the brass bushes in the drive train with ball bearings. Axles striped down and cleaned. Bearings fitted. Reassembled. And refitted to the chassis. Cheers Abraham |

Wow, that's pretty cool -- I've only been in the airplane side of the hobby. Didn't realize the metal and detail of the truck side of things. :thumbup: :clap: |

Hi Steve, These can get quite detailed and complicated. Found this old promotional video for this model. Abraham |

Good to see you working on RC models I used to do some modding on them for Rock crawling, are you going into the gearbox to change the bearing? somewhere I have some images inside the box. I also made a transfer box for an 8 wheeler. Phill |

Hi Phill, Thanks. Found a rebuild manual for the gearbox on the internet and will go for bearing convertion. Abraham |
