Original Turbo Optima too

FWIW, I've owned 3 or 4 Mids and all of them were missing part OPM-9. You can see it here on page 13 of the manual. OPM-9.JPG I've never actually seen one but I think it's rubber. It's meant to seal the underside of the belt cover where the belt exits the rear gearbox - directly above the motor. Th...

The TQ10 was the greatest thing Horizon ever sold!

Think I'll sell the box, catalogue and the Optima wheels with the Dunlop tires. Anyone know what they're off. I think he might have had tape on them, or traction compund-the tread is a little sticky, but nothing some Goo Gone won't fix. As for the other Mid that slipped in, well. New Zealand is a ma...

The "new" Turbo Mid is such an origional car. Only needed a gentle wash and the shocks cleaned and topped up. Here it is, before and after a 30 hour 11 am-7am 30 hour "rebuild". I love it. My white Mid is coming along, need to solder the motor wires on, but I was exhausted. I tri...

The Thorp gears are 48P, while stock is 32P. The are part of a complete gear set. Standard pan car spur gears, diff balls, and diff rings work fine. No need in paying top dollar for vintage AE stuff. I usually use Kimbrough spur gears and RJ Speed diff rings and balls on six gear trans. But nothing ...

I don't think he has the Thorp gear set. I think he's looking for idle gears and seen those and wondered if they were viable.

For the first time in my life I drove an RC10 :!: :D , the last parts arrived yesterday and after a 24 hour bath to rehydrate they got fitted today 8) I also modified some 2014 Scorpion front wheels to fit . https://i.imgur.com/XFLrdcKl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/zuRr6NRl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/R9m5Da...

My goal is toi make it as i want it on myshelf ;) - new parts - removing of anodising - polishing of alloy parts - change all screws by some Inox A2 version. When i disassembl...

Given perfect conditions for the vehicle, tomorrow morning, and of course having the day off, what RC four wheeled vehicle would you take out for the most fun? Carpet car, you found a track with brand new carpet free to play on. Buggy / truggy, you found a perfect dirt course with perfect grip. Craw...

Given perfect conditions and having the day off (which i do), which RC car would i take out for the most fun? Hmmm...Although im a nitro guy and most of my collections is associated...i would have to go with my little custom Axial SCX10 bucking Bronco. It has a custom short wheelbase STRC chassis wh...

Tough question , it's a bit like voting on the BOTM comp ! It's worse as i usually take two cars at least ! The only time I only take one is when I go crawling ! I guess the car that gets most use is my PB Mini Mustang , I drive it way harder than I should but it just eggs me on , I often have to st...

Pretty simple...88' Nitro Brute with custom gearing, suspension, .O.S. CV 12 and pipe....BIG PAR!

First crack at test fitting parts and building a sub assembly. All went good. On some of the plastic parts I needed to tap a few threads into the plastic because the new hardware is machine thread not self-tapping screws. The aluminum pieces, when installed, IMHO look awesome. Way better looking tha...
