Re: Demon MF-1 / MF-83 1/12th Car
https://www.rc10talk.com/download/file.php?id=170661 Most of those parts aren't old chassis, the markings show they are the original templates used to cut and drill the chassis parts. I'm in the same position, I have front and rear end parts somewhere but spares never come up for sale anywhere. If ...

Re: Best chemicals / methods for stripping paint from old bodies.
I use 30% nitro fuel, Carson Paint Killer and Tamiya Body Cleaner depending on what shifts the paint. Especially with vintage bodies I wouldn't put brake fluid anywhere near them as it can make the bodies very brittle. I think it was an original Losi truck body I cleaned with brake fluid as a test a...

Re: Optima mid turbo - convert to Javelin
For the rereleases it's easy, depending on how accurate you want the conversion. You need the OT247 cage set and OT252 wing in the colour of your choice, and the OT251 roll bar, OT250 wing mount. The driver figure is the same as the Turbo. Obviously there are different shocks, wheels and tyres but t...

Re: Restoration of Joel Johnsons 1987 WC Ultima
I really like these and I noticed they just did a re-release. My concern is will there be spares for repair or do they just intend for them to sit on display. I can't help but want a Dirtmaster as well. You'll find most people buying the JJ are buying them to race, as it's nearer a race tuned versi...

Re: Graupner/Mugen Mercury CAD model...
That's really impressive work.
Prp did a replica of the world's prototype, so you can see what the new chassis plate looks like. It looks like he started with the exact body you have

Re: Graupner/Mugen Mercury CAD model...
That's looking really good. If you do get some bodies off it I would be interested in one as I want to keep racing mine.
The bigger body does look like the prototype body, the prototype had a flat alloy plate to mount the electrics instead of the plastic covers and needed the extra sides to cover it.

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???
A Tech Racing Voggerd T10. Something I've wanted since I saw a review of it in RCCA in the 90s, just because it's so different to any touring car around at the time. I started searching for one when I started seriously collecting vintage cars and have never had any luck as they made it out of Japan ...

Re: Tips and tricks for buying a discontinued rere
If it's discontinued you have to treat looking for it like an original, with potentially more of them around. If you must have it now and have deep pockets there's plenty of options for big money from people who are looking to flip nib kits. Otherwise it's sitting and waiting for one to pop up at a ...

Re: Graupner/Mugen Mercury CAD model...
There is an amount of adjustment in the locking of the centre differential, similar to a slipper clutch. The different output gear sizes in the main gear means if the nut is loose you get 2/3 of the torque to the rear wheels under power, with 1/3 to the front wheels. This will give you more steering...
