Stunning mate.

So after a few months out I got around to doing the paint and decals on the Mid. I'm awful at painting, so it didn't turn out how I wanted it to, I did a coat of fastrax clear pearl http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e229/wgjb/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20151023_005040_zpsatiykqfw.jpg Then tamiya ps1 white...

I've decided that I'm never going to build this... :cry: That's a dilly of a pickle, a true conundrum...... No matter which way you go..... can you make a scan of the manual to share with everyone (or, just me!) please? Yet to see the manual for one of these..... Look forward to the build thread :w...

I've decided that I'm never going to build this...

@wydraz - that's some collection there mate! @naushad - diffs are standard, I assume the custom special had ball diffs? Not had a chance to continue the build due to buying a new 1:1 car and doing work on the old one, they're more hassle than 1:10 most of the time :roll: :lol: Just ordered some pain...

Cheers guys!

@Stulec52 - I got it from ebay uk, 2 colour fade was popular late 80's early 90's so you never know!

@Naushad - yeah I agree, I've also got a full set of golds too in case I get the urge for an upgrade

Thanks Scott, got some white paint ordered for the body.

With standard shocks.



Need to sort the springs, think I've got black ones somewhere...

Step 27 is the mechanical speed controller, I'm skipping that as I'll use an ESC Step 28 - Installation of the wing stay, I had to order a new one from Korea as a piece of my original one was missing. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e229/wgjb/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150429_135039_zps73f7f613.jpg ht...

I've got some black front shocks now, got gold rears too but I'm gonna go original boxart, I've fitted them but no photo's yet. The build is now complete minus paint/decals. :D So back to the build, where was I? Steps 18 - 21 shock assembly and installation http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e229/wgj...

Hi all, thanks again for all comments and opinions, I'm still undecided but I'll probably build it at some point, I don't see RC cars, or 1:1 cars for that matter, as an investment, they are made for us to enjoy, and if that means leave it in a box, on a shelf, or ragged to death then so be it, I do...

Thanks for comments guys, there's some serious knowledge on here, my RC race experience starts and ends with a few amateur races with a stock Manta ray when I was 13 :oops: Steps 15, 16 & 17 installation of servo saver & tie rods http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e229/wgjb/Mobile%20Uploads/I...

@markbt73 yep it's got the full scale independent suspension

Thanks for the comments, I will be leaving it NIB, for a while at least, I did want to build it but now I'm in two minds after tamiyadan's post lol If I was to build it, I can't see myself running it as I have nowhere that I can run an F1 car properly without it getting badly damaged :? all my curre...

As I left the chassis & gearboxes, the first part for my rebuild is Installation of rear shock stay (step 4) http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e229/wgjb/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150420_122829_zps3c5c82d9.jpg Front shock stay http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e229/wgjb/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150420...
