So what did you get in the post today ???

[1300GT]

The hard part I found is finding a front gearbox case. It supports two bearings instead of one like the rear case

Yep, I saw the differences between the two gearboxs in the instructions.

Guess what I'm after now.

This is supposed to be a partially-built RC10 graphite I picked up on eBay a few days ago. But I'm wondering now whether I should open it or just turn it over to the local authorities.

I bet they didn't advertise "from a smoke free home"?

HI!... Well I got this Marui "Hunter" off the "BAY" this morning. I was the only one who bid on it. Weird. Maybe because the seller had it labelled wrong. Anyway got it for $49.

Needs a body for sure, I will need some original or repo decals for it. I know nothing about these cars. I have only collected Tamiya, Traxxas and AE cars my entire life. So any info on it would be appreciated.

The Marui Hunter and its more upscale brother, the Galaxy, were decent entry-level cars that were at least as good as the Tamiya Hornet & Frog...for cheaper retail price. Both cars had oil-filled rear shocks (Hunter > monoshock, Galaxy had a pair) and the Galaxy had front oil-filled shocks as well. The Galaxy had a rollcage, the Hunter had a body...but other than that and the shocks, they were almost the same car. They were reliable bashers. I resto-modded a Galaxy to address some of the weak spots, you can check it out if you're interested--but I know you tend to go box-art with your restos.

HI!... Yes I will be going box art with this car as well. Already have a line on a NIP body and decals. Is there anywhere online I can get a PDF of the Marui Hunter instruction book?

Not PDF format, but you can print out each page you need; they're JPG images.

HI!... Cool, thanks! Is there any place that has a data base on the Marui Hunter or Marui cars in general? I know on Tamiyabase they have a entire database on the Tamiya cars. The year they were made and sold, dimensions, hop up parts, box art etc... I want to do a box art theme on this but don't know what the box art looked like. lol! What year was the Hunter made? Is there a good Marui website like this one but for Marui's?

[Coelacanth]

The Hunter box art is simple. 2 colors, straight lines, not many stickers. This picture is pretty much all there is to it. Notice the typo on the light covers: "KC Daxlighter"...that always made me chuckle. Google is your friend.

Here's a fellow member's Hunter resto, I like his paint job:

HI!... Thanks. Is that just gold and white? Ant particular colours? I know on the Tamiya's they give you a paint colour #. Did Marui have this, or u just matched it the best you could?
