But what will it be like to drive 36 years later ? Could well be horrible to drive but my memory suggests it went in a straight line at speed and turned in tight corners really well , when I first had the Hotshot my mate Brent had a Progress with 4ws and 4wd and it sounded great but he found it woul...

Thank you Sir. They can't be used on this buggy. I thought at first that it might be possible to utilise them for additional castor at either end but it drops the steering ball end too far down for steering duties and increases bump steer dramatically. I don't know if TAG pilfered them from another...

With Jeff's help I've started replicating the TMS chassis , these are pictures of a 3d printed mock up I'm working on to check the fit then they will be cut in 2mm fibre glass by Jeff in his Factory Works guise and my guess is they might be in his folio thereafter :D https://i.imgur.com/DMWKmxRl.jpg...

how did he cut it already if the prototype is on your car? I designed it in CAD from a mixture of dimensions Jeff already had from a similar chassis and scaled up photo's of the original , i prototype them with a 3d printer , then emailed him the files , he them uploads those files into his CNC mac...

This is the power system going in . https://i.imgur.com/Pj66NLel.jpg https://i.imgur.com/9rvHdxgl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/80tiqRWl.jpg The Demon Power King was sold as an 18x2 but when i had a look inside its a 16x2 , i wasn't planning on a motor that hot but now its here :D , its a bit rough and re...

New fibreglass rear shock tower.

Wow! ! ! How did I miss this build ? This is really well done , you should be pleased as punch with the result I'm deeply jealous of your car , can't wait to see it run !

Got started on fitting steering servo , decided that while waiting for the real chassis i can start drilling holes in the prototype to check fit , I'm thinking this position is quite space efficient . https://i.imgur.com/ZkpBUkjl.jpg I used the kit servo saver parts to make up a raised more central ...

I think I'd throw some electrics in there and then look at what space there is for mounting points , the later 834 RPS style roll hoop might fit well but its not delicate or refined to look at and the rest of the build looks refined and light , I might put two posts at the rear on the body side pods...

Gold anodised this could work .

Oh yea that's good , very period too .

I just went back in time 36 years :D https://i.imgur.com/T17Ehb5l.jpg https://i.imgur.com/jTHx8I9l.jpg https://i.imgur.com/eUeN6IUl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/lWUZ5uil.jpg https://i.imgur.com/x2dyjGIl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/mtbNbjMl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/hFVgenrl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/gA8eH77l.jpg...

The body is from Penguin and is designed for the TMS chassis , I'm not sure who made it originally but it should fit most of the similar chassis types or even the stock chassis .

Not "vintage" but it'll be fun I think. Has the bonus parts (esc and bearings), so that's cool. Resized_20210127_114147.jpeg EDIT: Ha ha! I opened this thing up and started scratching my head. Then it hit me. Golly gee, where is the tub? For Pete's sake, no chassis? I realize alot of turm...

Just looks so factory finished , excellent job !
