New boy saying Hi!
Hi guys just thought i'd introduce myself
I'm Dan & live near Northampton here in the UK (the home of Schumacher R/C) I'm now early 30s (like most on here I guess) & have been racing either 2wd off road buggies or more recently 1/10 touring cars since the late 80s.
I've only recently got into the vintage stuff & found this site through TamiyaClub. I must admit i'm still bemused that something that I raced in my recent past is already deemed 'vintage' lol! I currently own a Losi XX thats NIB & is awaiting some choice upgrade parts before I build it, a Losi Triple X, An old Mardave Cobra (with a Losi gearbox) and a Cougar2 Works that has travelled all the way home from the otherside of the world courtesy of Bormac - My RC10 fettish has started with the recent purchase of a rather sorry looking RC10 Worlds that i've brought off ebay for £24. I am also looking forward to the arrival of an original gold pan car that is currently wending its way over from the States
Anyway heres a picture of the Worlds car - as you can see its missing a few pbits - i'm hoping that with the help of the expertise on here & maybe a nod in the direction of where I can find the parts I need I can get it up & running again Which is where I like my cars to be - out on the track

Glad you found the forum. How's the Cougar2 going?
bormac - i'm sorry to say that the Cougar is still sitting on the top of my wardrobe... gathering dust but looking very cool I'm currently collecting together some decent electrics to put into it
