Re: Jamie Booth Egress picture
I suspected that chassis was indeed longer,..
The really hard part would be the prop shaft I guess. I don't know if there ever was a longer one on any other Tamiya chassis.

Re: Jamie Booth Egress picture
The pictures in high resolution were way too big to send here, so check Your e-mail .wydraz wrote: Jirka, a hi-res scan would be great thanks a lot and if you do find any other pics of the car please let me know - it had a plain white body and clear wing with only decals applied - Nosram, RCM, KO, Tamiya and 'Awesome' plus some Japanses on rear wing.
Yours Jirka

Re: Jamie Booth Egress picture
Hi Guys thanks for the comments and thanks to Jirka for the scans most useful
Update on the direction of the build - I spoke with Jamie last night about the chassis and he is happy to have the car in it's standard length.
The original chassis which I took off the donor car doesn't have the correct holes for the modified rear suspension.
Gomachv (Jeff) came to the rescue and as we speak the chassis plates + top deck are en route from Oman to the USA where Jeff is going to make a chassis and top deck for the car - huge thanks for this Jeff
The chassis will be a similar shape as the LWB one which came from Jamie with the car but will be the same length as an original kit Egress - due to the LWB top deck being incomplete after the crash and the requirement for a longer propshaft (I spent some time looking and can't find any that are longer) we decided this was the best solution. Once Jeff posts all the bits back to me I will build the car back up, as you can imagine it's in 2 halves at the moment. Jamie will run this car again, likely with a brushless system so modifying an original propshaft has it's plusses and minuses.
Cheers,
Dan

So, I trial fitted Jeff's amazing workmanship last night, the quality is amazing thanks so much! I also told Jamie that this chassis and upper deck are thicker CF so he can't break it so easily next time

Re: Jamie Booth Egress picture
I asked Masami what the Japanese decal on the wing and sidepods says to which he replied "It says Super Machine, a Japanese RC Magazine".
Can anyone help me with a scan of the logo?

Re: Jamie Booth Egress picture
You can check Masaaki's www-page: http://www.hirosaka.co/index.php?route=product/category&path=64. There are a lot of scans from that magazine. Maybe You can find good enough scan from that page to start making decal.
