Very nice! I think the duel shocks on the back would improve the overall look as well as function. Love those wheels and tires. She's really tough-lookin' now.
Well done, nice attention to detail. I agree, about the rear shocker is to stiff & maybe a little short as the rear looks to low. I wonder, if you could fit a longer oil filled shocker on the rear? Cheers
I love it. I have one that needs the same treatment, however just can't finish as well as you. Please please please will you make a brushless Nikko Dictator? I have about four in parts and need some inspiration.
So I would luv to gone more in-depth but the algorithm shows time is crucial for viewership. But I had some UA-camrs slow the videos 2 of these to do their own and theirs turned out awesome. Thanks tons
I have one of them the spur gear is stripped out tried making a 3d printed one but it still stripped it out and don't know where or how to getting one for it. Any suggestions 🤔
Hello, firstly thank you for watching. The stock pinion is a 10 tooth design. I also did a golden arrow. Along with many many other rc cars. Thanks again.
@@LukesVintageRC very welcome, and thanks so much!! I will use a 10t pinion from Tamiya. Almost always the pitch is 32 like Tamiya. It saves having to take the gear off the stock motor. Sometimes they just don’t want to come off. I damaged a gear pulled trying it once😅
@@LukesVintageRC thanks!! Just made the purchase! Now what tool or procedure would you recommend to install the gear on the new motor? I’ve been trying to see that process on your videos, don’t know if you’ve filmed that yet. Please let me know. Thanks, and keep up the awesome work!👍🏼
I've been binge watching your videos. After watching this and the Golden Arrow video, I think you are the perfect person to ask some questions about a possible project I'm planning. I have a Golden Arrow/Lobo and i want to replace the pressed collars that hold the front end and transmission on. I see the Red Arrow has a bolt and nut. Will this fit the Golden Arrow? Is there anywhere i can find the parts or make them from available bolts and nuts? Also, is there a way to put a bolt and nut or nut on the shock tower to make them easier to remove instead of that pressed fitting? Again is there an off the shelf solution or custom one that would work?
Jason unfortunately there’s no real true fit Hobby grade perfect made parts. It’s all experimental. Your best bet is to sell and repurchase another one in better condition. eBay. Thanks for watching many more videos ahead.
The gears in these were tougher than the Nikko and Tyco versions. Radio shack always over built things. Their version of the qd midnight pumpkin has a much better design of the gear set than the original brittle Tamiya design
Hi Luke, I like your decals and wondered if you could tell us how we can make them please. I just got my hands on a red arrow and it is in a sorry state.
Lol hay give me back my red arrow been missing scine junior high man its looks really good just change the motor and make it brushless and upgraded parts it’s a win win situation 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Howdy, I believe it’s futaba 25 spline package from about 30 years ago it NOS stuff I have but Tamiya has a kit too it’s TAM50204 works. Thanks for watching I believe in or around 10 min mark I go over the steering bits. Thanks be sure to check Prt 1 of this and there’s also golden arrow video too. I’m always putting new projects up. Thanks again.🙏
@@LukesVintageRC Much appreciated! Yeah, I've watched these videos a couple of times waiting for mine to come in the mail. Thankfully, it came today; sadly, it needs work. Still, fun project so no complaints on my end!
Another great refit!! Looks awesome!🤘 How'd you find those rims and getem to addapt?? Just curious... I'm gunna start working on my tsauro xs here soon. I was thinking of upgrading those also.. i have 4 of those 6 desert vipers 6 tamija blackfoots a 2 tsauro zs and 3 nomads lollll. Youe vids are great man thanks.
Hi sir, ebay is best bet. The hubs are the issue as shown and stated in video. Just make them like I did nothing to it just watch the whole video. Rims are Tamiya fast attack vehicle. Thanks for watching✌️
Hi guy, so there’s video part 1 that goes over the history of the rc and the items used that’s why I do two videos. And I state where and cost. Enjoy ✌️
Absolutely know who will get ya on the road quickly. My friend UA-cam channel: ValleyRC he has a lipo modified version on now. Great stuff. Be sure to check like and subscribe too. Thanks and enjoy
I got one of these for Christmas of 1988 or 1989, I don't remember the exact year. It was so much fun!
Awesome, thanks for sharing
Love it bro I had one of these as well. This was my last SEARS car before moving up to Team Associated.
I guessed 26, 30mph, not bad! Doubled the speed! Nice build!
Impressive speed you achieved out of that simple car
Pretty good runner honestly. 👍
30mph was a lot faster than I thought it would go , I thought the stock gears and pinion would limit it . Another great job .
Hi sir, i thought same but all seems great. No problems with 30 but some UA-camrs have done 43 mph but I don’t know if those survived. Thanks 🙏
Another classic brought back to life! Great stuff!
Thank you sir 🙏
That's a nice car. You made it super cool. Love it.
Hi sir, thank you.🙏
Awesome RC and build,great video
Thanks for watching sir!✌️
I got this for Xmas that year. My brother got the gold arrow because he was more loved
Awesome sir. I also did a video on the radio shack golden arrow. A truly fun time be sure to check it out.
i remember having one of these from radio shack (tandys) in uk...it was better built than the tamiya crap
Thanks for watching

Thank you sir ✌️
great video
@@jacklacey-pz7rz thanks 😊
Great Restoration 😎👍🏻
Thank you sir✌️
Excellent work, yet again !!
Hi sir thanks so much.🙏
Nice work on that. Looks way better than original.
Thank you, it was a blast! Check out golden arrow resto. ✌️
My brother had a golden arrow as a kid
I have a Video of a modified Golden Arrow too. Check it out.✌️
@@LukesVintageRC Cool I will check it out
was there any other reason than saving money they go with mono shock?
Anyone’s guess I suppose. Thanks
Well done, nice attention to detail.
I agree, about the rear shocker is to stiff & maybe a little short as the rear looks to low.
I wonder, if you could fit a longer oil filled shocker on the rear? Cheers
Hi sir, yeah you could do a longer shock but a slight body mod would be necessary and the pivot point would need modded. Thank you 🙏
@@LukesVintageRC Either way, it looks good & go’s well thanks to brushless 😎
It's weird to see nostalgia in full hd. It looks like the truck has been made 2 months ago.
Luv the vintage rc too! Thanks 🙏
I thought about restoring one it but if you can't get the gears I don't know
@@jacklacey-pz7rz it’s long been out of production.
Awesome job sir do u ever sale them
Hi, nope, as you know content is always necessary for a channel.
awesome! would you mod my red arrow similar ?
I love it. I have one that needs the same treatment, however just can't finish as well as you. Please please please will you make a brushless Nikko Dictator? I have about four in parts and need some inspiration.
Hi sir, the Dictator I’ve never seen but I’ll keep an eye on one. Thanks 🙏
Hi Great job 👏 Please can you link me to the tyres as I need to replace mine? Thank you
Unfortunately they are discontinued.
I just got my hands on a red arrow. I want modify mine to go faster. I wish you wouldve did a tutorial of you adding the motor and esc...

Hi bud, get another off ebay, sell back what you don’t need. Thanks for watching and please watch my other fun resto videos.
This video has been such a great reference for the red arrow 👍🏼, question, how many teeth is the stock pinion of the red arrow?
Hello, firstly thank you for watching. The stock pinion is a 10 tooth design. I also did a golden arrow. Along with many many other rc cars. Thanks again.

can you get those gears
@@jacklacey-pz7rz afraid not. Thanks
Hi wondering where you got the white servo adapter from? I'm trying get same set up
howdy, it’s off ebay. Item is TAM50204 good luck 👍
Awesome restoration! Do you have a link or description of the clamp tool you use to pull the pinion gear?
Howdy, so it’s an ebay item. The item search is: 2pc motor pinion gear puller tool set. Seller: directimports1899 Thanks so much 🙏
@@LukesVintageRC thanks!! Just made the purchase! Now what tool or procedure would you recommend to install the gear on the new motor? I’ve been trying to see that process on your videos, don’t know if you’ve filmed that yet. Please let me know. Thanks, and keep up the awesome work!👍🏼
@@blzr2bull I believe I used a flat tap tool from my watch rebuild days. Also braise the armature light sand paper and thread lock.👌
@@LukesVintageRC sounds great! You rule!!😎💪🏼💪🏼
i have the Radio Shack Porsche 962C RC Car i need tires for it what do you think I can use
@@jacklacey-pz7rz hmm maybe eBay? Thanks
@@LukesVintageRC I was thinking aftermarket

Hi Luke, I like your decals and wondered if you could tell us how we can make them please. I just got my hands on a red arrow and it is in a sorry state.
Unfortunately you have to do what I did. Remove and repair them with a decal app or sticker app and reprint on gloss vinyl design for inkjet printer.
Lol hay give me back my red arrow been missing scine junior high man its looks really good just change the motor and make it brushless and upgraded parts it’s a win win situation 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Hi sir, how many had this buggy in school. Great one and rolls out nice. Check Prt 1 and future rc restorations and subscribe . Thanks 🙏
I STILL HAVE MINES
I have a red arrow I'm in the process of modding....what kind of back tires are you using? I need to find some back tires to fit ?
Hi sir, it’s all in the video. Thanks and enjoy 😊
How/what did you use for the servo adapter? Link if possible would be great. Thanks!
