Future plans are a Novak Explorer Sport esc, Novak Polaris reciever, and a candy apple red body. Current mods are: CRP 1556 Front Suspension CRP 4...

Some work to do..

There was something missing on the bodyshell.. https://i.imgur.com/wEYPPVA.jpg Now that this is done, another branch of the project started: the prototype... From the pictures, I can see the chassis is black, and the nylon reinforced parts are in a sort of white/yellow resin, so I started by applyin...

I spend a lot of time in Fusion 360, with only the very few inputs from a quality picture... https://i.imgur.com/Yfjrimd.jpg Obviously, the chassis and other elements from production models hints about a lot of things, but I also want this body to be 7.2V stick packs ready (which I suppose was not t...

1986 Mardave Meteor I notice there has only ever been one Meteor entered into BOTM, and that was by DerbyDan in 2016 (getting the win). This was my first official race car, bought in very early 1987 for indoor carpet racing at Perry Common Buggy Club, UK. This was touted as a budget racer (£49.99) t...
