I truly admire your dedication to this car. Your ideas and custom parts are great and the car is a real credit to you mate. :mrgreen:

I wish like hell that I did not sell my car now. Maybe one day I will build another and look into some of the mods you have made to your car also. We have a few great off road dirt tracks here that you could run one of these cars on.

Thank you for taking the time to build this thread on such an inspirational vintage racer.

Cheers-Jason

For the Moment it's not so urgent ; yesterday at the racetrack I glued the broken arm .
The accident happend after a big jump with a very bad landing.
To everyones surprise and without any further jumping it was possibel to continue driving ( ladylike :D )
I have 2 more rear Suspension arms here at home , so I can replace the glued part .
Due to personel reasons I had to set my priorities the last 2 month on other items , but now I'm back on the car.
Almost ready is a Slipper for the first step of the gear ( I don't want to try stronger any stronger brushless Motor than the 17,5 turn I#M driving with by now without a sloipper....).
I'm thinking not only since yesterday about rear Suspension made of alloy ; if your friend can offer the parts to an aceptable Price , I'll be interested , other way I build them by my own.

On today Training nothing was broken , I only loose ( again) one kingpin :D :D
I tried some Tamiya - I guess 2 " - tires on 2,2" rims ; I Think , they are looking good and they dont have to be glued...it's only a Little hard work , to get them on the rims :D :D

@ Bad Company and rcpitwork,

I echo the same sentiments as Jason. It is inspiring seeing the work, customization and problem solving that you both put into your cars.

Keep up the good work :mrgreen:
