Default help, what is this?

My boss gave me this, all I got so far is that its a tamiya. The bumper on the bottom says 1993 tamiya. I'd like to get this piece of history in working order.

Oh cool, thanks! Not a lot of info about it, it does give part numbers though so that's good.

I cleaned it up and gave it some paint. looks great from far away. Kinda like that girl that's 50ft away then ur walking up to her then u have to stop and pretend to look at something else and walk away.

Oops I forgot to put his head back on. His head it still the original white with the stickers.

Just clean it up and it'll make a nice conversation piece. Or maybe find someone selling a stock rtr brushed system and stick it in there. I've seen the XL-5/12t Titan combo go for real cheap. That will probably get it scootin pretty good down the street.

Its all in Chinese I need the bearing sizes. I took everything apart and put it all back together and I got it to actually roll but the right front wheel is missing one of the bearing and the bearings for the left rear wheel is seized.
