Where can you get parts for old Tamyia Modles? ie. the Tamyia Fox....I had
one local hobby store search online for me but they couldn't find any....My
model still works but I'm afraid if I start to use it again I'll break
something.
I've checked out Ebay but didn't find anything. I've started to think I
should just buy a more up to date model.

If you want something to drive, you might consider getting something
more current. While a good buggy in it's day, that day was pretty long
ago. If you can find the parts, expect to pay for them.

You can sell the buggy to a collector, or keep it. If it is in good
shape you could pull the electronics and display it as a static model.
I wish I still had some of the buggies I had in the 80s. My first real
RC was a Tamiya Striker. That piece of junk was a rolling design flaw,
and what I wouldn't give for another one :)

If you want to keep it, check www.tamiyaclub.com. For some reason the
site is not working for me right this moment, but I have been there a
number of times and there are lots of Tamiya collectors there.

Another site with lots of old Tamiya info.

And keep checking eBay. New auctions always being added.
