had a Fast Attack at 80’s. I believe it was ’85 or ’86 when I got it with JR Beat 2 radio. I’m not a big fan of tamiya at all. actually don’t like the way they run the business. they put crappy parts in the kits to make money from their overpriced optional parts with exaggerated advertising claims.
anyway, Fast Attack was one of their best RC cars to me. it ran straight even on the slippery sruface. the price was good too. they re-released this famous one a couple of weeks before. and, I’m thinking of getting one over. even I got this original cage from rc10talk member Eddie a couple of months ago
now you can see why I like these parts. re-re FAV came with black cage which cannot be painted or dyed. the black cage is not bad. but I want one from my memory if I get one again
some nice original pics

It has started from here

got HPI 6115 today. but there was no spacer for 10mm wheels. all the spacers are for 11mm. but my metric step bit did it’s job well
Got the wheels and tried on my ’91 RPM runner. I didn’t cut the rear end of the chassis. so the offset is right for none-offset wheels. the metric adapters are coming too.
