Thanks for the video, I got a Chevy version of this many years ago and you helped me figure out what it was because it didn't come with any info, no box,remote,battery, and I don't even know if the internals are all factory, but now I know that they made many forms of it and it was lobed by lots, thanks again for the help, nice video quality btw

I'm in the process of restoring my S10 right now. Bought it when I was a teenager back in the late 90s/early 2000s. Thank God for Team Bluegroove making reproduction bodies. I still have my original body but I had a buddy paint it and it's not exactly box art.. Haha..

Howdy, so it’s never too late to restore a rc car problem is parts availability. Sometimes adding a rc to your ebay notification helps and Tamiya websites too among the forums. I’ve gotten lucky this way with new old stock. If reproduction parts don’t bother you well TBG or Team Blue Groove can help with bodies.

@@LukesVintageRC Tamiyas are especially bad about parts availability. Not because the parts are unavailable but because the prices skyrocket in value the moment the kit is discontinued. Tamiya collectors are ravenous.

New Subscriber here, I just built a tribute Tamiya Chevy S-10 on the TA-02 chassis. Many years ago, I had both the S-10 & Ford F150 but sadly sold them off, I really wish Tamiya would do a RERE of these trucks (I know, they did the ford), The Hummer was also re-released on a different chassis. The Toyota was only available for a few years then was never seen again. Awesome stuff and great work, looking forward to your S-10 video!!!!!

What radio system did you go with an upgraded 2.4? This makes me want to get out my old S-10 out but I want to upgrade the electronics to run 2.4 transmitter, 3S lipo and brushless motor and ESC. Anyone have any success with this upgrade? Direct fit brushless 3S motor with same shaft diameter is the only thing I am not sure of. Do you know if there is an aluminum motor mount available? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I typically use my Chinese 2.4 ghz turbo radio. I did a review on this radio so check it out. Brushless is ok on 2s setup for a vintage version but 3s nah. Old trucks like this tend to have brittle plastics. A new one probably be fine but vintage like this no way. Need crazy speed do what I did get a Traxxas Bandit vxl That is crazy fast and takes abuse ok plus getting parts that break are readily available. There are other brands too ARRMA that have speedy rc. My advice New rc is key for 3S and up. Parts for old rc are rare and expensive. Good luck. 👍
