I am just giving you a hard time. No offense intended. With the all the stress with work these days, one of my releases is sarcasm, so don't take it the wrong way. But maybe now you see why they were $5.00 more? High risk on my part. I've already gone through an order an a half on the JRX2s. I've got a few others I am sitting on...... but that's not the point, the ones I chose I wanted for myself. I am not complaining, it's all good. In the end I just want to help others find hard to find bodies at an affordable price.

I've been toying with doing a "Proper" Tamiya Porsche 959 and Celica with a two or three piece mold. TBG gave it a good shot and got a descent result, but it's WAY too thin round the under cuts. The only way to do it is a multi piece mold. I'd love to have a thicker EXACT dup of the 959 and celica. How cool would that be.

Just need more time.

Hi Jay,
Mate i would not know how to take offense to anything you could say to me buddy. If only I had the kinda cash over this past 12-18 months that I used to bring in. The worlds financial melt down has even worked its way into my industry and the amount of jobs that have fallen through due to finance falling over....arghhh!
This move will be for the better and Im certain I'll get on top of things again soon.
Cheers-Jason.

Hi alex
Yes and it hasn´t been driven that much either.
But it´s been sitting in a damp seller for many years.
All the steel part have rust on them.

I got it with several other cars and the lot has a strong smell of mold.
So I´ve been doing some cleaning lately :)

The beltdrive on this Pb is still surprisingly smooth.
But the steering has seased completely.

Mate, don't get too discouraged.... I have new in pack parts that have light surface rust on them.... it's pretty normal for PB parts, from my experience.

Steering rusted up is a problem, though.... not a big problem, there's always spare parts available :wink:

I seldom get discouraged by rc;s, it´s the world outside my hobbyroom that scares and bring me down. :lol:
Pictues shows where it´s the worst .
It´s not so bad, I´ve seen much worse. :)

It's so cool to see another Mini Mustang! These seem so rare but they are so cool to me. Don't be discouraged by the condition. If you want it badly enough I'm sure you'll make it into a beauty. :mrgreen:
Not to rub it in but I guess I never posted pictures in this thread when I got either of my MM's. So...here you go: One two wheel drive, one four wheel driv and just for fun my Maxima as well. :wink:

Very nice collection, mate!!!! Interesting to see you have a 2wd, not many of those out there..... I'm in the process of building one up myself, as well as a pile of 4wds... happened upon a lot not too long ago where I picked up a bunch of usable spines, which should see me cool for runners for a while yet....

Your Maxima looks very nice, even nicer than mine... mine which will be on eBay sooner rather than later. I have some time up my sleeve, so I hope to build up a Mini Mustang or two soon...

Ultra cool collection of PB's you have there.

2wd version would have been a real handful on the track. I never saw one at WCMC which was almost a PB club hey.

A very quick ride in it's day .

Tomolupus looks to be all there just some surface rust.

Keep the pic's coming.
