GRAUPNER Rally Sport (touch the end) - Fairlady 240Z

[Trass]

Hi,

Here is my Graupner Rally sport restauration project.

It started on November 2014, it's in stand by since january 2015

All srews were changer by some A2 inox ones.

A lot of parts are hand-made polished.

Front upper and lower arms are deburred and polished, the rear ones too ...

An improvement of gear is in place.

And bearings are better than bushings.

(If you have some good eyes, you can see how i am a bad photographer)















































On Decembre 2016 i started to find an original radio box, but it's very difficult to get it... do you have some ways for that ?


Next stage : electronics !!!


To be continued ...

Well Done, my first rc car was the same but with alpine body

[R Cane]

Can't wait to see it with the body, also. One of my favorites!

I wondered what this thing was..... I always thought it was a Kyosho of some sort

RC10th - You´re correct, it´s a rebadged Kyosho Rally Sports.

Graupner never did any cars or buggys themselves.

nice Datsun!

Love the family-sized Haribo box in the background

Big step because I found two covers of the radio box: smoke :: smoke:

On the other hand, restoration works are necessary.

Little teaser because the painting will probably be done tomorrow


The rest tomorrow if all goes well;)
