Re: Schumacher Timeline

Just a thought here, but does anyone have any info regarding dates of when popular upgrades were released? I'm thinking dates of MMS diffs, Tanaplan chassis etc could be in a little sub-table if anyone knows the info...

Re: Back in Time - XLS For Vintage Racing

More progress made today. Having finally managed to find a pair of the upper rear wishbone mounts on Ebay, I moved onto the rear suspension assembly. Unfortunately I quickly found that the lower fibreglass bracket was not an XLS item as described on Ebay, but the narrower XL item. Undeterred, I pull...

Re: Back in Time - XLS For Vintage Racing

I must admit I'd forgotten how awkward everything was to work on back then. My current SV2 can be stripped and rebuilt in an evening!

Re: Back in Time - XLS For Vintage Racing

I did it that way so I can easily swap between one-ways and normal driveshafts just by pulling the pins from the uprights. Much easier than disconnecting the driveshafts from the diff. :)

Re: Back in Time - XLS For Vintage Racing

I guess I'll be running the Hitec ESC and 14 quad that I did BITD then. :)

Re: Back in Time - XLS For Vintage Racing

I've been testing various old electronics on the bench tonight before tidying up the wiring on whatever I choose to run. I'm happy to report that the Speedmaster Silver Star ESC still works fine, as does the very batter Hitec I used to run. Does anyone know what the motor limit was on the Silver Sta...

Re: Back in Time - XLS For Vintage Racing

I put the steering linkage together today using mostly NIP parts and doubling up the locknuts for security.

There's not much more I can do for a few days until the screws etc arrive unless I can get a bit of time alone in the shed to make the rear upper wishbone mounts.

Re: Back in Time - XLS For Vintage Racing

A little more progress to report. https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/t31.0-8/10397160_654893674600843_787389281417714333_o.jpg I found a load of unused driveshaft joints in my parts box (on the right). I'm not sure if the worn one on the left is a different metal - IIRC there were upg...

Re: Back in Time - XLS For Vintage Racing

I've got alloy ones in mine. I've also got three different types of white nylon ones in my parts box, so no idea which is which really.
