Here is a new find that I just picked up it came with a bunch of tamiya buggies I plan on turning this into a Boost

sometimes those closet rescues are just as fun, mainly because they are cheaper

I agree, I wish I could find more like this for what I paid for it

Cool! First time I see someone else with the truck conversion. I have one too but I really don't like it... Nice find!

The only thing I like about the truck conversion is the race prep decal on the back this will be finished off as a boost

Those white rims and tires look like King Cab ones.

I know but there was a truck conversion at one time. It could have well been made of Tamya parts though. Make sense. The front wheels have a larger axle hole to accomodate the one-way bearing. I don't know who made the body...

There is a bit of information on the conversion here:

Nothing special frogs, some grass hoppers, pan car enough to finish off the pro and call it a gift

Thanks for the info on the conversion it looks to be complete not that I will use it but its still a part of race prep history I would probably say that J.G would be a good guess on the maker of the conversion

Well I finally got started on the rebuild of the pro, I broke down the pro cleaned all the parts and now it is time for re assembly. I will add pics as the build goes on

Great to see another AYK up here . I see s few ball diffs in the back of one of the pics there. Have you worked out how to accomodate them yet?
