Second step in the upgrade & modernization of an original Tamiya Wild Dagger 1/10 4WD WR-01 Monster Truck RC Car from 1999 (Tamiya 58231)! In this video we will rebuild the suspension and install the WR-01/WT-01 Extended Shock Towers from GPM Racing and a set of oil filled aluminium shocks from Carson!
The car is complete now, and I just need to edit my way through all the footage!
Stay tuned for more episodes in the near future now!

This video series is part of my effort to get all my RC cars up and running this year. One car at a time. Slowly. I hope I will make it.
Be aware that this is not a true restoration of a vintage model. More of a runner-project with a complete clean-up, transformation, upgrade and modernization. Some will like the final result, some will not. I will.
This is an original 1999 Tamiya Wild Dagger I purchased for little money several years ago. It was dirty and well-used but I never got around to a clean-up and restoration, before now.

I have had these parts lying around for several years now. And in my opinion, these are the upgrades that will make the most impact on the performance of the Tamiya WT-01 and WR-01. Real shocks with some real travel.
