Ok, i'll bite. Has that Parma motor been serviced by Mick Goddard??

It's certainly an MG label on it but I'm guessing it is on there just because it was sold through his shop. It's a stock motor with bushings & I haven seen any signs of it being worked on.

I was really torn leaving out my AYK Sidewinder ... Tough choice . The AYK Sidewinder & Bobcat are great looking cars for their time. I included it in my list because it was the first car I bought for racing. I thought the all alumunium chassis/shocks looked awesome back then compared to the Ta...

Out of the cars that I own (19), my top 5 favourite shelfers would be:

AYK Bobcat.
Associated RC10 gold pan (short arm).
Schumacher CAT SWB.
Schumacher C car.
Associated RC12L Graphite.

I've no plans to sell the others either though.

This is circa 1980, one of the first commercially available in the UK. Lots of drivers were using Parma type resistors well after the introduction of esc's.

As per title, an early esc by I & D electronics, also responsible for the Spectron lexan car. Haven't had a good look at it yet or tried to see if it works. The Parma motor looks to have been supplied by MG. It's not overly massive considering it's in a case. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...

Looks a nice esc & early in FET use. Was quite a price at the time at £85. If I remember correctly, the Demon King esc was around the £45 mark.

I've got an early Ofna Ultra LX Pro. It was a nitro truck that I converted to GT8E spec. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51975641427_f92b4c3777_k.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51977210620_517eb6df23_k.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/7872/47288262362_a8c961b1be_k.jpg https://live.stat...

Mine started in exactly the same way with a bare chassis a few spare parts I had. The rest I purchased as & when they came up at a reasonable price.

Very cool, never seen one either. Any idea what year they were released?

Congrats on the win, a very nice car & got my vote. Well done.

Nice! I do like a 1/12th car.

Have you got anywhere you could run it?

I hadn't seen your other thread until now but I saw the car on ebay with the gold Brimods. I did think about bidding on it but am not really looking to add any cars to the collection as it's at 17 now & any more will cause me storage issues.

Great that they ended up with you.

Nice, with some cool parts & more Brimods. :shock: :lol: I actuallly raced one for a meeting BITD when a mate & I did a swap for the day & remember them being nice to drive. My mates car had a Pro King too. He sold it in the end because it was constantly breaking plastics. When I got min...

I thought I posted mine here :oops: Mini Mustang 2 speed https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50058917057_bd58a50655_k.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50061857118_8e6828c5c8_k.jpg I've swapped the Novak receiver for a Futaba R-102H mini receiver & it has a Demon King motor, Futaba 131SH s...

I've had the same issue previously, on a white wing, I painted that area on the outside but recently did a 1/12 pan car body & did as follows: Once the paint is dry enough to put masking tape on it, mask up the whole area where you have full paint coverage just leaving the transparent bits showi...
