Tamiya FAV

hi, 我係第二手車主, 我都照顧咗架車成兩年有多,不過有冇玩放向床下底.
所以忍痛割愛姐.
終於揾到個愛車人交托比佢.

truely...gallop was very innovative at that time.....but the performance was ssssoooooooooo poor...the front one horizonal damper design so poor.....cause the arm so soft...the damper mount not durable and so on so on........even have a low jump.......the damper also can absorb any shock and always "砰砰砰"........because the body hit the ground.......toooooooo bad.......
but be honest...the design of hot shot is similar....also not good in the front suspension.......
anyway...a good good memory.......

Kyosho Gallop 4wds最失敗係超重o既車身.個時得1200mah電,架車玩得幾分鐘

Would like to know more about FAV,

I found the design of the differential is not good enough, it has some "click click" sound when running, does this happen in your FAV? thanks.

right!!the hornet is more popular at that time!!!!

i think i will take it for slow run....take some pics and video after the rebuild.....but maybe long long time later la....
hope to join u ...

It seems to me the FAV was produced after the 1st Gulf war, at 1991.
I have the photo of this vehicle from Model Graphix when the FAV was introduced from Tamiya, This magazine  at the time was more  to military model and Car model. So the military look was one thing even
make the military modeller interested...

But Hornet seems to me even older , probably back in 198x.


Anyway they are good piece of memory...

sorry bro. python...
i didn't run my FAV yet......
as i know the differential is the same as Hornet/grasshopper/frog...i just mean the differential gear is the same ...not the gear box.....the gear seem ok in smoothness...but i 'm not sure the "click click" sound may related to the dogbone.....because the old design of FAV used the hex.head dogbone...not the modern one.....may be it's not smooth enough....
give me some more time...let me try try to put the latest universal shaft dog bone for the re-release FROG into the FAV...and tell u guys the result....
