Please could a moderator move this into the official "What is it?" thread - I didn't notice it sat at the top of the forum.. whoops...

Okay, I'll have a go at this...... 5. Clockwork 15 minute nicad chargers that will charge a 1200 pack in half an hour - and contribute about half the total package weight from the other side of the world.... Classic! Even worse are mains chargers - three times the weight of clockwork chargers and t...

Anyone know what cars these undertrays are for? I thought the small one might be PB but the bigger one looks Schumacher CAT like, but it's not a original design.

Nice Cougar! Like the matching the chassis and towers look. The shock towers were made by "Team Tanaplan" in London, UK, in the 1990's. I still have some NIP's somewhere if anyone is interested in a pair. Cheers, Ian http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii225/minichamps11/For%20Sale/P3070144...

I've used low gloss lacquer on cleaned Yoke magnesium bits and it's done a great job of protecting that "as new" look.

That side profile of the original CAT2000 looks damn hot!! I agree :) It's one of my favourite buggies. Apparently handled pretty well too. I've never raced mine but I know a Schumacher Team driver who decided to get back into off-road after doing touring cars for years and he got Schumacher to sen...

Agreed - the bodyshell ruins all the good work done by the CNC machined chassis!!

Fair enough on the Wikipedia comment, I know entries can be abused and incorrect. This is what it says on WD40's own website about different materials: What surfaces or materials are OK to use WD-40 on? WD-40 can be used on just about everything. It is safe for metal, rubber, wood and plastic. WD-40...

Been doing this 30 years, and beg to differ on wd40, while wd 40 itself is basically fish oil, the propellant used can crazy plastic I have fogged plastic and melted tamiya cva shock bodies using wd 40 in the past Unless WD40 is a different compound in your country, it's a petroleum based product. ...

+1 !

No, I'm still clueless on the alloy gearboxes. People on here had ideas, I just know they came from Japan with some other spares..

No, it's still unfinished. I bought a carbon Fibre top deck for the car from Fibre-lyte, but the weave direction didn't match the chassis and it deserved better. Haven't got round to ordering another one yet..... One day, I promise!

OK, I know it's not vintage but who doesn't like a nice bit of machining? :D From the same people who make & distribute the Predator 4wd buggy (Team Extreme) Truck conversion http://www.teamxtreme.co.uk/vega-elite-truck/images/010.jpg RB5 SP2 conversion http://www.teamxtreme.co.uk/vega-elite/ima...

It's a Kyosho Optima Mid of some kind.
