First gen fantom didn’t have front springs. The more popular MKII did. Really just depends on what they copied. This car more resembles a first gen, but I suspect they will add things such as the front springs. Rear suspension was simply chassis flex as with most pan cars of the day. The chain wasn...

The next step is to mount the case on the chassis... given the recent findings on how accurate the chassis is, I was a bit worried to be honest :mrgreen: But it all went smooth - the holes line up. I gues they used the stealth (steel) drill jig, hard to miss then :lol: Still I didn't analyse the sym...

We have not made too much progress lately as we are waiting for a few bits to arrive that I did not have in the parts bin. However, we did get the battery cup, antenna mount and rear arms installed: back_end6.jpg battery_cup.jpg I didn't have a decent set of hard anodized shocks so I fished a set o...

Perhaps the carbon is laminated over a production AE aluminum tub and this results in some extra space? Thanks for the suggestion. This is also what first came to my mind... I checked, and it doesn't square, the rest of the chassis is exactly the right dimensions. so it's not like they formed their...

Welcome Aboard!

This is the least shrewd BST rules shunt I have ever seen! :lol: If so, how was it as compared to the 411 and similar Tekin models? I’m looking to get one. Where should I look? Thanks! man - if you're looking to get one, try eBay. that's your best bet. Otherwise please contribute to this forum and w...

Hello I figured to share this on this page. I’m a new member but a long time RC enthusiast and enjoyed the TC3 and NTC3. I acquired this TC3 from Gene Husting’s museum from his son Curtis when they auctioned off some of Genes collection. I think this was a practice car of Billy Eastons. I consider ...

Some will say I see evil everywhere ...

Some great comments above! The rule of thumb is the same as for 1:1 cars... unless it is sold at Pebble Beach, it's pretty much always better to have the previous owner bear the cost of the restoration than yourself :lol: If you want the absolute shelf queen, it's going to cost an arm and a leg - ne...

So after a lot of fiddling, and many many screwing/unscrewing of ballcups onto turnbuckles, this is what we end up with: https://images2.imgbox.com/b9/ce/97lW6pzQ_o.jpg It fits. This is not my favourite ballcup design, but it's still politically correct (as my friend @Patriiick coined it :wink: ) an...

This is rare as hen's teeth...

Nice achievement, and great truck, the King Cab!

Whoa

The end-product is KILLER! Superb job and great attention to detail

I just want to have a car to fix up that looks nicer than what I had as a kid and drive around for fun without hopefully incurring too many costs from breaking parts. I think I'm trying to decide between a gold pan car vs a later model with a plastic chassis. Metal pan seems more durable but vintag...
