Description
Hi!
this is a rear shock tower for the 1986 RC car, The Falcon from Tamiya.
This car was instrumental in the childhood of many young boys and girls in the mid 80's and has since become rather well loved riding atop a crashing wave of plasticy nostalgia.

However the downfall of the model is that the plastics used were painfully brittle 35 years ago and have got even worse since/ Any examples spewed out by the eBeast are generally either nearly broken, completely broken or expensive enough to leave the wallet rather bruised.
I have printed these and they work well, however I ended up CNC milling mine out of aluminium and having them anodised black.
