Oh boy oh boy oh boy!!! My very first gold pan and it comes with a Litespeed litesink and a Hyperdrive setup! Well, one spur/pinion ratio of a Hyperdrive setup.

As some of you guys know, I've been dealing with Covid the last few weeks. Just came home from the hosptial the other day, but still on oxygen. Got a bit of an uphill battle but I think I'll be Ok. I was feeling a little better today so i thought we could try and salvage the November contest. So let...

OK, so I got lucky again. Around a week ago a member of one of the Fb groups I frequent pointed me towards an eBay auction which he suspected might be of interest to me..... it was! The sale detailed an MMS-machined RC10 which, if you have read my thread on 'The Concept Car 4wd' you will recognise t...

After a quick wipe down....

I have touched upon this ESC in my MMS thread just now as this is what came installed in the red MMS chassis car. It is certainly from the British heatshrink era, but when I saw it I had zero clue what it was. The extremely neat soldering on the reverse was a notable feature, as was the copper board...

I got a start this evening. I finally decided on this vintage RPM steering rack. I was torn between A&L, Composite Craft, or Jconcepts steering setups, but I think this will fit well.

You've always got such cool vehicles, stories and information. Thanks for sharing! Yes, this tasty pair are quite special indeed. After a little digging... the mystery 'VF8' ESC turned out to be what was marketed as a 'Penn Models ESC'... on sale from 1984 - 1986. The infancy of the FET era. Penn M...

Yes, I had spotted that. It also mentioned the wide front tower which also came in the bundle of spares. Turns out Penn Models was the sole UK distributor of D&D Graphite parts..... so there is the answer in black and.... er.... orange. 256097355_423331122713316_4966209310237746060_n.jpg But the...

D&D was the name of composite craft pre composite craft

I might as well drop this in here seeing as the thread is alive again.... Mini Mustang racer in lovely survivor condition. This one will get raced so is never going to be shelf-perfect.

Oops ! Well pin spikes are a good fit , I use them on my Mini Mustang . On a different note the fibre glass under chassis plate on yours is just like mine ,it's sectioned out rather that a complete plate , is that an Eco part ? Most seem to have the compete plate except of course the Maxima , I'm ju...

Thanks for the link Retro RC.... you are correct. Pretty much everything i need to finish the car is still listed! This has also made me focus a little more on the parts I actually have and to be honest I think I have everything i need to build up the complete gearbox, apart from that i have zero be...

So this was actually the original tub for B1.5 #5. That car became a mid motor carpet racer using a different tub. So this one has been laying around for a little while. I had started to mess around with a little while ago, but for the most part it just sat. While I was laid up recently, I got to th...

Got my B3 parts back from letting the anodizer go crazy...

I got this project pretty far today. I swapped on these Trinity 5 spoke wheels. I prefer them to the pink clones.

Electronics aren't wired yet. Just waiting on the body now.
