Another 8th Scale Dream 95% Realized - Thorp

Quote

I didn't think I would ever own one of these.... a vintage 1/8th Thorp On Road Chassis. New, never used and partially built. It is missing some parts, but that is fine with me. So, if anyone has parts, let me know and I will also add the wanted parts in the appropriate section.

Love it!

Jay

Ok, so I know very little about early AE 1/8th scale cars. Anyone want to tell me what it is? Thanks -Jeff

Last post

Cool thanks. Any other info (like the difference between the 250 and the 300), as I think I will restore this one. A manual would be cool, or better pics etc. Think I will look through the scans section. -Jeff

It is hard thing to nail it down to just one, I can think of two that really take the cake for me, the Group 5 BMW 3.5 CSL and the Porsche 917. Between those it is toss up, at least for me.

Canvassing interest in the creation of a 1/8th scale RC10 project.

Technology has come a long way and thought there could be interest in such an idea. I'm thinking that the smart minds on this forum could design an appropriate larger-sized RC10....

Fred and Morten have been working on this 1/5 for a few years now. 1:8 would be cool as well.

Here's an old one I always drooled over in the Tower Hobbies catalog....a 4wd Vanning.
Picked this up pretty cheap. It's complete and the only real damage is a broken weld on the rear of the cage. Came with a bunch of extra parts, starter, 2 O.S....
