Re: Starting a best shock argument !
Well obviously I am a Brimod guy, so an easy one for me. Nothing beats their look I don’t think, and the bleed screw and threaded spring adjustment is fantastic. They do leak though (although that problem has now been resolved with a subtle mod). Somebody above mentioned the AYK Pro Radiant shocks t...

Re: Demon MF-1 / MF-83 1/12th Car
I am in touch with his daughter and we chat occasionally - yesterday in fact. I have pictures of all of his old race gear and extensive stash of spare parts. His old kit boxes still exist with several complete cars, bodyshells etc…. FEA5D118-EE18-4352-BE79-78FF7EF5501D.jpeg She is hanging on to it a...

Re: Demon MF-1 / MF-83 1/12th Car
Yeah i was aware of the joint project nature of the car. I also gather there were some raised eyebrows when certain parts from the MF-1 were used on the subsequent Pb car. I have already posted on the Pb page asking whether anybody on there has a spare Alpha shock absorber!

Re: Demon MF-1 / MF-83 1/12th Car
Yeah I had spotted that too…. Still trying to work out whether it was a personal mod or not…. I have pictures of another Nick Adams car in much better condition and that too has the same front curve, plus a shot if his spares box showing yet another lower chassis plate with the same feature.

Re: Demon MF-1 / MF-83 1/12th Car
I am gathering there were three iterations of both the upper and lower chassis. The upper was initially a thin triangle (see the schematic in the instructions posted above). Then there was a fatter, stronger triangular shape which seems to be what I have, and then finally the full length upper deck ...

Re: Demon MF-1 / MF-83 1/12th Car
I am slowly gathering parts up to enable me to build another car, which recently took a huge step forward with the discovery of some original chassis parts in a toolbox in the old Pb workshop. Everything for this car seems to be virtually impossible to find. If anybody else has some parts available ...

1986 Mardave Meteor I notice there has only ever been one Meteor entered into BOTM, and that was by DerbyDan in 2016 (getting the win). This was my first official race car, bought in very early 1987 for indoor carpet racing at Perry Common Buggy Club, UK. This was touted as a budget racer (£49.99) t...
