G'day Guys I recently bought this re re boomer for my son Dominic. I didn't want to do another box art boomer so we tried to do something a little different. I had all the blue bits chrome plated, changed the yellow shocks for some chrome yeah racing items, painted the shell in perl clear, then mett...

PS My hotshot will be racing around with u soon at Boondall, make sure jason takes good care of it!

i got to have my first drive today, it was brilliant! I can't wait to get it on the track at the next vintage meet. So very cool.

I have the yeah racing shocks on 4 of my vintage cars without ever a problem. I like Mark also drilled out my pistons & played around with different oil weights. U also get 2 sets of springs which is more than enough for the type of racer that I am (not much of) & u can actually get these in...

Yeh I painted the roof gloss black so that the rollcage stood out more

Hi Mark, yeh its a team blue groove shell & yes I did have to cut the back out. Quite a hard shell to cut out actually. I was going to get some nice white 2.2 inch wheels for it, but I really want the moondial wheels on it. I will probably just put a sport tuned motor in it for racing in the sto...

G'day guys I finally got myself a Bigwig. When I saw this for sale, I did some research & found that it seemed to be a bit hit & miss model for Tamiya. i found more negative comments than favourabel ones. But, despite, I could not get over the looks, I really liked it more than my Hotshot, s...

Just finished a new body for the next vintage meet . Doesn't look to bad, although I'm running out of colour scheme ideas!
Working headlights should bedazzle the other drivers LOL!

I made the front bumper from a peice of alloy 6mm rod. It was really difficult as it has 6 bends in one length. There is also an alloy roll cage inside as well that the body is supported on so as to take hits on the track. I also have another alloy plate under the front body post for more support. T...

G'day guys We had a vintage meet the other wekend, in the rain, again. I raced my rc10 SS in 2WD stock. Had a ball. I think I got hit by everysingle other driver on the last run so the body has had it. But with all the reinforcements that I had made it took quite a beating! I have a new SS bodyset r...

Just resprayed my Sons SS recently & this was it's first run with the new paint job & wheels, exhaust wipers glass etc.
it looks quite nice running on the sand.
beautiful day at the beach with no one else there.
Perfect excuse to give the MB a flogging as well.
Smiles all round
