if it may help : :(

Hi

Yes, i bought this car in... your country.
On the photos, i thought it was an OPS and i was surprised when i received the car. And more surprised when the engine was in parts: original engine!

Thank you OCA1!
Now, after the restoration of many...

Weird. The frame is somewhat reminiscent of the AYK Bobcat/Buffalo, but with a gas motor out back.

Looking at your picture again, it looks like you have the rear dialed out as much as possible on the rear knuckles. But you can still move the rear link on the servo horn (anf the red plastic at the rear).

I love the look of these. I can't even paint that good now.

That was my favorite Panda.

It seems like everything they built was based on the same chassis. I remember the stock car was identical other than the body & tires.

(I've got the stocker's tires on a Cox Baja Bug.)

I always thought the scale...

rattlesnaker, If you get that thing running I would love to have a run against you with my Picco Genesis with 3 speed. Also the 3 speed was an option on the original 891 BMT

Thanks Jerzi!

I got the first parts in on friday; a car actually. After some inspection I don't think this will be the base for the belt-drive build though: it would require a very long pinion

Hey all well i've been a little unmotivated on this project :( and since I don't want to half badword it no rush :) I have been doing some other rebuilds though heres a before and after shot for you all, hopefully i'll get my mojo back soon for the...

Ha. Double thread revival..... Pretty weird coincidence that there is a very similar car at the same price right now.

I forget what I'm doing and where I'm at in my searches sometimes :oops:

Magnum 8 was one of the first 1/8 electric cars. But not the first one.

Last night, I polished up the aluminum parts (suspension mounts and radio plate stand offs). I also cut the front suspension giving the arms independent movement. The car's coming together pretty nicely. I mounted the rear suspension, but I still...

I have this and I love I installed all the tamiya opt kit on it and yes the pins on the tracks tend to pop out when being use other then that its a really nice kit I got mine back in 01 when it was re-re....

You do not have to buy new wheels. You can re mount those wheels with new tires. All you have to do is soak them in lacquer thinner. The glue will melt and the tires will swell up and come off like butter. To remount the tires all you need is some...

Quick update i tore it down over the weekend to find a trashed chassis. Gonna add a few parts to my wanted list.

What was left of the chassis under all the homemade bracing.

You WILL destroy the idler gear. There's a few options for a stronger part. Just check the team c thread on rctech and you'll find where to get one.
I once heard someone from MCM (shop in belgium) mention the ultima RB5 idler gear as a tested and...

Anyone know the story behind the wheel colors? I inherited quite a few yellow sets nip and one white set, which I see a car on this thread is displaying. I don't recall ever seeing a white set in the pictures bitd.

You know its slow around here...

The starting car:

My replica:

I have a few (King Tiger, Tiger, Pershing and PZR III) and I think they are a great value with a little modding and painting. You can get the odd dud, but parts are available from Mato Toys! If you go to RC Universe Forum, they have a section that...

Well if anyone wants it it's in the BST area for sale as a parts lot...needs some parts but to would make a great beginner runner. I kind of needed some of the parts for later and I need the money from its sale.

I am now thinking of trading off /selling the Corally. All it does is sit on the shelf in its neon pink glory and not much else. I don't really have any where to run it or any one to race with.

Hmmm, Thinking outside the box 2.0...

I decided to make the car a lttle less silly..(I loved the cartoon look, but this may be at least a little closer to what I originally had in mind.)

Like my other projects, they'll be a few twists and turns...

What I try to find out is how much different Leisure 1/12th cars had been sold and when exactly. I think the original Leisure 100 was in 1978 and the 100SS two years later. But I´m not sure if all of this is correct.

Then the Leisure ESC. I think...

Hey Wofmn, I'm wondering if your car came with a parts list or list of hop up parts. I've been trying to sell a pair of suspension springs on ebay for a while from Advanced Racing, but could never exactly pinpoint which car they would be for. Mostly...

Thanks Jirka :)

Looks like mine should have a delta shock. Mine has been replaced with a Schumacher CAT front shock at some point in its life. Not sure how easy it's going to be to find an original :?

Paul.

Cool. thanks for the info. I can definitely see the resemblance between the two cars.

The first generation Bolink Digger's shared this same basic chassis. I love these things!

Plasma Edge df-02 is the latest tamiya model that used this body, I forgot what the first model with this body was called.

I just trimmed it a bit in an angle to make it sit lower in the front.

I was going to grab that Alex but decided against seeing the body wasn't there. good price mate? Congrats :D

Gary,

Price was quite acceptable.....

I have a couple of options on a body for it, just weighing up my options at the moment....

Very...

Yep, you got yourself an Agitator XII, and from the looks of it someone may have made their own chassis, which is neat in itself. If you need a Delta Shock to keep it period correct let me know as the Original Damper was nothing more than a...

Shock towers had these 10mm holes decided to add some LED lighting.

I didn't see this one before, looks great! I always liked the Ultrastock. I remember when Toys R Us had these for a song; should have grabbed one. I just picked up a Bandido (the buggy version) not too long ago. Great running little cars, but yours...

The serial number is partially obscured by some tape residue - but I can just make out the first digit as a '3' so presumably it was originally a 93 car? :)

The car has now been passed onto Rich from our club who has vowed to do it proud 8)

Thanks for the reply, he swore it was a Kyosho, couldn't tell what name is on the box.
Can a mod move this to other brands?
Thanks
Mike

Looks a killer with new body and all.

I really like these corally touring cars - I have an old C4 (like semtex in my hands :) ) I used to ride (I´m the extra obstacle on the course) I felt it was a big improvement from my almost new SST :)

In...

Yes the name Corally came from the Coral material indeed, but not from the colour. Coral being a hardened aluminium.

PK also comes from the names of the two founders one being either Constant Paul or his father. The other guy I don´t know but...

The 0.6module spur that came with the ultima pro is very tough and wears much less than the 32dp spurs, no matter how well you mesh them.
A good quality hardened pinion does make a difference also. If you dair using those old soft alu pinions of...

No, Sorry, I do not have one.

, And no its not my dora pillow :lol:

Sure it isn't :P

Todd

maybe LUCK maybe is unfortunately
:roll:

2012 vonats classics racer?

I do have an extra rear pod if your interested :wink:
see brian...... not impossible at all. :lol:

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once and a while.

I sold my 2 cars, but I still have some NIP spare parts somewhere.

Nice! I had the Hemi Vette back when it came out. I painted it a candy apple blue and still even have some parts from it. I drove the living daylights out of that thing. Its definitely in my top five most driven R/C's I've ever owned.

Those Muscle...

Thanks Marc.

My Golds are for my Kyoshos only.

I forgot to mention that the shocks are Junk. Not smooth and very thin bodies . I can see the oil through them LOL. I have plenty of Fox shocks so will use those.

Meh-
:lol:

Wow, interesting belt drive and spring suspension setup. I really like these interesting strange cars.

I have quite a lot of spare parts for the Kawada, mainly gold anodised parts (new but loose) and black plastic parts (NIP). I have no use for them. PM me if interested.
