HI!... Got this Tamiya FALCON for dirt cheap off of ebay. I'm going to restore this one as well to original condition. I pulled the body off and got a bonus. Full Novak Receiver and ESC inside with a vintage battery.

Excellent score - I have a soft-spot for the Falcon, it was the first R/C car I ever took to a race track (Frog was my first hobby-grade...).
Anyhow, I have several Falcon's, good luck with this one!

HI!... Well some parts came in for the "FALCON" today. Just waiting on my NIP wheels.tires to show up from Spain!

HI!... Got the Body cut out today. Will be painting soon.

I have a Falcon sitting on the shelf waiting to be restored. Just need the wheels.

HI!... Ya the wheels/tires are the hardest to find. I found a set of fronts with tires NIP. They should be here anyday. They were found in Spain. The rear wheels I found in Japan.

HI!... Well I got the body all painted up and the decals on.

HI!... Well got the "FALCON" put together tonight. I rebuilt the gearbox and installed all new sealed bearings. Most of it is new. chassis, gear box cases, rear trailing arms, upper/lower front "A" arms, bumper. Still waiting on the new rear/front wheels/tires to show up. Then the rebirth will be complete.

Wow, this looks great.

The Falcon is just such a great looking car, IMO.
