Refurbishing 1979 Tamiyas
Discussion
Hi,
I don't think I've ever posted in here before. My father has a couple of original Tamiyas that he'd (and me, actually) like to restore, the Rough Rider and Sand Scorcher. Where should we look for spares in order to keep them as original as possible? The bodywork is all good, but I imagine servos, batteries, chargers and other things are needed.
Any advice?
Thanks.

Both of those models have been re released which means spares are easier to come by, it just depends how purist you want to be about the origin of the parts - many collectors will insist on using vintage parts despite their inherent likelihood of being more brittle and discoloured.
