M-05 based VW singlecab

Quote

Post by gumbajv » Wed May 19, 2021 1:43 pm

Picked up a nos HPI VW bus a few weeks back, and decided to use a M-05 chassis. To get the fat tires to fit I had to narrow the front & rear track. Also went with rear cantilever shocks. Wheels are HPI cup racer 4 spoke. Front tires are HPI cup racer 26mm wide, and the rears are some fat tires I had laying around.

I've had this M-05 based Mini Cooper for a few years. Didn't get much use since there are no smooth flat surfaces close by. What I do have is a large gravel driveway and a great off road area. So I decided to convert the Mini to a MiniClod.

I recently picked up these spiked tires for 1.5 rims. The tires are new, but no markings on the tire and no packaging.

Hi all,

I have these chassis plates - the RC12E ones are obvious, but any idea what the others maybe based on?

Ah haaa, I would love to complete this lonely chassis, it's just a matter of if I ever will...

I seem to have a selection of parts from some pretty rare cars, just no complete original cars except RC12's.

I got the rolling chassis of a 1/12 FWD kyosho Peugeot 205 over 10 years back. It had been in a display cabinet at the belgian Kyosho distributor for many more years. It had never been run, but the body was painted with a toothbrush. (Well, it looks...

As in Chevy-Dodge-Ford, or was it meant to be generic? It's driving me nuts :(

Nice. 8)
Thanks, the next one will be better :mrgreen:
That's strange, wouldn't they need licensing for the stickers too?
Probably obtained licensing too late for the T2's release, but in time for the T3 release? Pure speculation on my part...

Hi all,

I have been meaning to sign up on here for a while, and have been browsing for a while.

My name is Martin Dingle, and I used to race during the late 80's and early 90's. Bit of fun initially when I was in my early teens, with a Tamiya...

Welcome, I'm also Midlands based (Tamworth)

Sorry - only just seen these replies!

Tamworth is only down the road from me. Where did you used to race??? Did you ever make it to the 3 Tuns?

I'll stick a few shots of my cars here although there...

I'm finally getting some time to work on a project that I've wanted to do since about 1989. I actually got started on it in 2011, but life got in the way. Six years later, I'm back at it. The delay is probably a good thing, as the project is more...

That project is so cool... Thanks for he video above, the car is much quieter than I would have expected. Congrats on a job well done.

Bit of a scary moment at 0:13 too :mrgreen:

Looking forward to the next iteration of that car :!:

Thank you!...

Got this Checkpoint motor now after a 3 months travel. Comparing with other Checkpoint Platinum motors this seems an older version, based on a Yokomo can.
