Nail biting!

I know which way I voted & it might be playing against my entry Lol!

Picked up a pre-painted Parma Fat-Cat bodyshell from DMS Racing (here in the UK) who were sorting through & selling off some of their old stock (this included a few cars) - by all accounts the bodyshell you see in the photos was painted for promotional purposes for Helger Racing (who were the UK...

That is bloody brilliant!!! While I still had a Nikko RC car, my cousin had a meteor... I was so jealous!! Thank you! Was your cousin living in the US too - I'm amazed to think that any Meteor's made it across 'the pond'. Mardave was such a small UK company & I'm sure they were never distribute...

I've now replaced the OG CAT spec Schumacher shocks with a set of the excellent reproduction Kyosho Option House gold shocks from Mayonnaise RC (from Hong Kong) - which I must say look great in gold to match the chassis & stripes on the bodyshell; http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/DerbyDan/...

Well - sorry guys I forgot this thread even existed.... but since my 'runner/racer' version of the Mardave Meteor is currently entered into this months Car of the month competition I though it best to update the story to where we are now! Up until now this thread seems to have been following the int...

Well - quick change of plan - the car/truck that I was intending to enter, was a Clodbuster that basically looks the same (colour etc) as jeepy's entrant :lol: So may I present my recent build (& my entry for this year's 'Vintage Revival' meeting, to be held at the end of this month)....... My '...

Wow! Result! Lots of nice parts & the Losi ain't bad either!

Man - that XXT looks nice! - the other two ain't bad either

Hi Reggie - yes it was a full 4-page article - I effectively wrote the piece - with some editing by the (Iconic) column writer - so that its reads from a 3rd person perspective. You got a mention as someone who helped me along the way with the project

I'm afraid I don't know the name of the RPM wheels on my truck.... they came with it!

You used to see RPM wheels for sale for the XXT all the time on ebay.... but never this design.

The editor of Racer magazine kindly sent through all the studio images that he took of my Yokomo in Hi-res - most of which didn't appear in the magazine, so though I'd share some of the best on here.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/DerbyDan/Yokomo%2093%20WCS/FN3C3964_zpsvpol65mq.jpeg http:...

So this (very long term) projects feels like its coming to a conclusion.... over the last few months I have managed to find a few of the final parts that I had been on the look out for, for this build - namely a KO PS1001 FET servo in good condition, a pink KO Propo servo horn & an RCPS sticker ...

I say front mount the shocks.... being built from the Performance upgrade kit makes your car quite unusual - keep it as per the original 'upgraded' spec

May I present my Team Losi XXT 'Graphite+' http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/DerbyDan/Losi%20XXT%20G%20Plus%20Truck/IMGP2182.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/DerbyDan/Losi%20XXT%20G%20Plus%20Truck/IMGP2172.jpg Build thread http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=14172

Dammit! - How did I miss last month's comp - lots of great Losis to choose from!

i'll make sure I cast my vote this month!
