that old crawler if it is what i think it is. It is worth some good money. If its the old tamiya bruiser with a Toyota hilux body leaf springs 3speed trans and stuff. I would love to have an original. Guys in the scale crawler scene use those axles and stuff for builds.

I love the way the Jato looks, I always have. Do you remember when you bought it?
Thats a good lookin xxx-t you got there. I had knobby tires on the rear like yous on my xxx-nt, and had trouble steering. Also to much grip!! If the front wheels came up at all while I was full blast, she would flip bkwrds sometimes at an angle causing it to do cart wheels? I had to replace the little steering rod boots because of those tires! haha

the only problem with the xxx-t is you cant find parts for it anymore and i need a few lol, at the moment the left front wheel isn't connected to the control arm or steering rod what ever you want to call it because the plastic piece where it connects broke. so do you know where to find parts? oh and i think i bought the Jato about 3 years ago or almost 3 years ago.
oh and yes the knobby tires. i like them because i can actually drive it off road but on road they can be a problem. and i have the same knobby tires for the Jato but ive done to many donuts and one wheel peels on the cement so the tire came partly unglued from the tire. which is fine till you hit 50 and the tires starts to flare making the car about impossible to control
but those stock street tires might as well be sticks of butter

I'm not sure if I can post a link to his website or not, I'll have to re-read through the forum rules again. I'm sure I can tell you the store though. It's (High Speed Hobbys, in Landis NC) Although the site isn't all that good, you should be able to contact them through it. He may have the parts you need if you were looking to get them.
BTW. I fixed my blazer this morning!!

Cool! those are awesome, they look so real. My brother had one a while back, I don't remember much about it but I know it was a ford stepside bed truck.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't these have realistic working front/rear end differentials?
