A belt in the chassis

PRP -

Really amazing pictures - I guess You could sell sand in Sahara with that camera hand.

Very nice work on the top-deck. I have a Zerda where the mid motor conversion is done with a piece of cardboard It´s fibreglass though but it looks like someone did the cutting with a scissor.

Here You go Lars -
I dismantled a new built just to show You

I’m for you so ever grateful Dennis

You can see some mods on 2 zerda from Euro 85'

The most modified is the middle left, mechanical speedo, upper deck special, front wheel with one way from Progress
and tires too (grass track) and lexan body.

Another one from French mag, you can see better the system for the pack ,
you can move forward or backward...reinforced front shock tower, mid motor mount...

Some update pics, the car is finish, the speedo hand made is a replica or look like of the CS Electronics from 85'/86'...

Handmade ESC, that’s cool! Suddenly I got an urge to get me one of those cars when see your nice cars!

Article traduction:

The box attract the eyes by is metalic green color,many and nice pics, stand , action and details of the car, see the determination of Hirobo to made a car for racing.The tyres works on every track, adjustable shocks,high suspension travel (for this year ), most weight on the rear, generally light and good accessibility on the car.The car is partielly built, help the beginner to finish the car more quickly.
Tips:
Paint the shaft in flash color, when they go away, more easy to find.
The pack support for change the gravity center front/rear
A tie rod between the 2 fronts shocks to reinforced the towers and the shocks are more right.
You can leave the belt tensioner on the small belt , by drill a large motor hole and tension the belt with the motor.
Put an other O ring on the shaft and glue on the shock, like that you have 2 o ring by shock.

Another one from European Champ 86... Flex chassis

I got this Zerda in very poor condition for around $80 and i think that was too much lol I have rebuilt it and have fitted new tyres and rear belt and pulleys. The original radio tray was held together by Meccano so my mate Jason made me one out of fibreglass which I had to order from the UK. I dyed it black and think it looks pretty good. I also got a rere driver and painted it up. On the way are a new front belt and an almost complete black roll cage. (Once I pay for them)
I also got a new Bumper from Bullfrog which was much appreciated.

does anyone know where i could get the aluminum arms? that would be sweet for my hilux 44b
