Hope you're back on your feet soon Don!

It's great to see this going together, makes me want to tear mine down and start over. I may need to make my own castor wedges though - I got nothing.

I love the Astute! Over-engineered or not they have a ton of character and look like nothing else. . I had a third but sold it. Yea you sold one to me :lol: it looked like the red one it had a nice red body. Hah hah! You got the red body but the car under the yellow one. I have a new body for the r...

I love the Astute! Over-engineered or not they have a ton of character and look like nothing else. I had a really bad one I was trying to restore, then this one came along
It's virtually unused and I got it pretty cheap. I had a third but sold it.

That looks great! It's taken you two days to do what would have taken me two weeks...or two years... .

Reliability just isn't the greatest because the engine, fuel system, and exhaust system are so complex to meet emissions standards, but that's true of most modern diesel passenger cars. I have a good friend who just unloaded his 2010 VW TDI because of the above issues. All the cool features in the ...

Interesting! Those look like the same adjustable friction shocks that are used on the Traxxas "The Cat". Probably not the best choice if you were going to run that car.
On the other hand it's a very unique project and looks like you had some fun with it, which is what it's all about!

That's kind of amazing! Nice pile!

My wife says that the only people who are surprised by the number of cars they have is themselves. I believe she said this for my benefit.

As above, does this include complete or completed cars or projects and potential projects? I think I have about 50 complete cars and maybe half that in project form.

I have a set of the track-adjust wheels too, for a Kyosho 4WD. I plan on mounting them on an Optima project.

This thread is one of the reasons I can't concentrate on my projects. Makes me want to build one of these cars! Nice job on this one. I love this chassis.

Happy Birthday, Gary! I'm currently in Mexico--just finished watching the Fifa World Cup soccer game between Mexico and host country, Brazil...which ended in a scoreless tie...and will raise a "cerveza con limon" for you! It's not very often you get to watch a once-every-4-years soccer to...

Vintage butchery is all good, when done right. When you OWN the parts, YOU be da []D [] []v[] []D. 8) Ha hah! Funny Marc! I don't feel too bad about the possible chopping up of these wheels since I really have little use for truck rims. I decided to concentrate on the buggies because well, I can't ...

That's the hard part, do you have the wheels yet? Got them yesterday. Was disappionted to see that they are truck rims. I guess I got a little trigger happy on the auction which stated they are for rc10, but failed to mention their width. But, I have an idea to make them work. Hope no-one here will...
