1991 TAMIYA TOYOTA CELICA GT-FOUR RALLY TA01 RESTORE & RUN REVIEW

IN THIS EPISODE WE SAVE ANOTHER RARE RC, A TIRED AND BEAT DOWN ORIGINAL 91' TAMIYA TOYOTA CELICA GT-FOUR RALLY THAT WAS RELEASED 32 YEARS TO THE DAY. TAMIYA WOULD RELEASE THIS IN THE SUMMER OF 91' JULY 30TH TO BE EXACT, AND THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST TIME ON UA-cam WHERE A COMPLETE RESTORE AND RUN AND UPLOAD OF THIS LEGEND WOULD EVER BE DONE TO CELEBRATE ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVES BY TAMIYA. ANOTHER COOL THING TAMIYA DID WAS RELEASE THIS TOYOTA CELICA GT-FOUR ON THE TTO2 PLATFORM. THIS ACTUALLY WAS BEYOND HELPFUL AS I WOULD HAVE THE LUCK OF A NEW BODY TO REPLACE THE BEAT SHELL WHICH TAMIYA OFFERS ONLINE ITEM# TAM51708, WE WOULD INSTALL UPGRADES SUCH AS TAMIYA SPORT TUNED MOTOR ITEM #TAM53068, SMOOTH ROLLING BALLBEARINGS BY TEAM JB HOBBIES.AND A HOBBYMARKING TA01 ALUMINUM MOTOR MOUNT, NEW BUMPER E PARTS TAMIYA ITEM# 10005577.
