that's why the spring collars are adjustable.

Explain please? The shock collars set the ride height, not the shock spring stiffness!

Great idea! I'm hoping to star a vintage class at my local club here in the UK. It would be great if I could take it regional and National just like you hope to do! We'll also be looking at what rules to use, but at the moment I think we'll only have one, mixxed class :( Not many people with cars ye...

I think it was around for at least a yer though wasn't it?

I may have some parts, or be able to get some, for it if you need.

I think that was a bit much coin, but your choice.

The difference was the inner rear wishbone pick-ups were differt, and the rea T plate, and also the front hub carriers. Thats all I think. The B2 was around for a while though wasn't it?

This is as far as mine has got yet.

I could do with a gear cover for it if anyone has one?

G

That one looks far from standard. Any details on it?

G

Is that yours? The shell is better than mine, mines missing the back part.

Have any of you guys seen one before?

4 wheel drive (chain), 4 wheel steer!

I'll take pics tonight if you want?

This car brings back memories... race proven, curb beatin', dirt eatin' devil. I ran circles around a childhood friend with a Frog. He worked hard to hold back the tears. I considered polishing the tub due to excessive scratches but can't bring myself to do it. I also have the CRP front bumper and ...

Has anyone any good tips on how to get original white parts clean and white again? Acetone and Bleach don't work!

Cheers,

G

I thought people said Tower still have stuff?

G

I find it very difficult to search for vintage RC10 parts, is there a way to look at all the parts for a certain car?

Cheers,

G

Yeah, thats what I did but it seemed to take ages to find anything.

Is it possible to get a parts list for the old cars so I can serch by part number?

G

Thanks guys, I'm going to try and work on the car tonight again.

I went on Towers site but found it a little hard to find anything!
