Hi guys and girls, i got my hands on a YR-4M2 car with heaps of spares.. the car itself has a few alu upgrade parts and is probably a 7/10 car.. there are no wheels nor body.. other than this i dont really know much about these cars as i'm a kyosho person.. are these a sort after car or just put it ...

i just discussed this with my insurance company last week. i had to declare them as a hobby/collectable under my household contents insurance.. i had to put a rough value on them but not individual.. was told to have various photos of each car and particulars detailed. although i have under estimate...

thanks for your reply's.. i'm glad for peoples opinions and i can't not agree i will be keeping a eye out to see what pops up as original.. would love to keep it that way.. the chassis rails are the things i need most of all.. the rest can be added as i collect them.. have already purchased a new sp...

Hello, no the wheels are actually normal mid wheels dyed purple with the inner edge cut off (before I got the car.)

Well I had a optima as a kid when I raced. First real race car after my hornet. Really enjoyed the car as it was ultra competative at the time. Once I got hooked on Rv car again 3 odd years ago I started looking at them more. Internet is a evil thing. All those cool toys I could never have as a kid....

just thought i would post a few pics of a few cars in my vintage collection..

optima's, ultima's and a lonely triumph..

ok have a question about the wing..
i tracked down a TBG repo body so thats all cool.. but wing wise i cant find anything.. i have a busted base for the wing but have no idea on the side panel dimensions..
if anyone has one they can measure it would be much appreciated..
cheers

no worries didn't even look at that brand/line.. thanks

ok found this on ebay.. the chassis looks similar to a optima mid and looks to be based that way but have never seen a car like it...
got me hunting but no luck working it out...

this is pure gold..
i was watching some on ebay but couldn't bring myself to pay that much...
just saved me a mint..
thanks

ok firstly great thread, mainly because i just got my hands on a new partially built TRIUMPH.. the car has been sitting in a roof unfinished so the seller says.. i got the car and seems the story stated seems true.. the car had been started but so much was built wrong i dismantled it and started aga...
