I certainly enjoy seeing your motor collection and the refurbishment results. The bling just always leaves me speechless... or I would comment more.

Man you always have the cool motor stories bud, on the small dimples it can be clamp marks or maybe even manufacturers imperfections?

You have so much interesting stuff, it's incredible. I especially like your vintage motor collection. And also very lucky to have your actual cars from back in the day.

I dig the open roof design. I may have to steal that on something.

That's pretty sweet.

Can't wait to see more , you must e chuffed to bits .

Awesome collection, some great memories in there for me. That Shinwa is beautiful as well.

Ok she is a roller again. I need to order some bodies now and get them painted up.

Yes, of course you could be correct. The only real way for me to know is to ask somebody involved with the original prototype builds (which i am still actively trying to do). I am basing my assumption on a couple of things.... there were two articles on the 2wd prototypes, and in the same magazine ...

Yep I'd bet your dad could modify a pan car gear or two to fit properly. Wonder if 47t is a common size

Although I have zero experience with Brimod, and my only knowledge of the company comes from your posts, this is a very cool car. Its great to see it restored with such care. I'm looking forward to the finished result!

Looks to me like you may be short of a rear gearbox , you have a front and centre but no rear gearbox , unless this was a front wheel drive car ? But that's really odd if it only has one ways up front , to my mind your missing the rear gearbox and it may have been a twin chain setup , a short chain ...

RC archaeology at its best.

Martin, did you notice the RC10 idler gear in the transmission?

I'm guessing same as Dadio, you have a front and center gearbox and need a rear gearbox/diff Assembly. Probably different cars.

Those knuckles look a lot like the alloy hot shot knuckles I had on my old racer , possibly TMS knuckles ? If you imagine the chain drive proto as the earlier chassis then at an earlier stage of development more out sourced parts might have been used that would be made in house later on .
