Tamiya Mud Blaster. 1st Run For Over 25 Years

Some of you will remember my Tamiya Bush Devil videos and you will remember me telling you that it does not belong to me. It belongs to my friend Phil. I also told you that Phil had a second Tamiya. Well this is the 2nd one. Both of these are from his childhood and both have been sat at his mother's house for all these years.
This second one isn't quite as good condition as the Bush Devil. When I first got it to look at it seemed a bit more poorly. However, once I started to clean it up, it wasn't as bad as I 1st thought, although not as good as the first one.
I had to replace the tyres again as the rubber on these had disintegrated just as they had done on the Bush Devil. There was some rear body post damage too but that's been repaired. After a very good clean it actually looks really nice now.
I hope you enjoy this little video of its first run in over 25 years. I took my little step son out with me and he helped me make this video. Thanks for watching, Tibster

Wow, I love it, mud blaster was my very first r/c back in the late 80's early 90's as I recall... Thanks for sharing. Brings back a lot of great memories.

So nice to see another original classic Tamiya up and running again Tibster! You did a cracking job on the clean-up, it looks amazing! And the lad did well with some very controlled driving! Awesome to hear the unmistakable sound of a Tamiya motor and gearbox - proper old school mate! :-)

That truck is freaking awesome dude. I can't believe it is over 25 years old. I was just a little toddler when that was made. FLASHBACK CENTRAL.
