I still found one Dukemo pic, this time from the RRC world 1993 poster. See car number 7. Pic is from the 1993 worlds A-Final, J.D. qualified 7th and finished 5th.

I just read it. Many of the parts I could make. However I propably would not make exact copies (all though I could if I had the parts). What do you have in mind. -Jeff

Jammin- I have been looking for some pics of my cars from that race. I didn't take any and am bummed I have only a few magazine shots (which I can't find :roll:) of my cars from that race. I was running for Schumacher there, so my cars would be Cougar and Cat 2000's LMK if you can help. Thanks-Jeff

My 2wd car was white, with a two toned stripe down the middle. I don't remember my 4wd well. Propably the same as I had very little time to paint bodies for this race. There is a pic of my 2wd from a magazine (thought it was car action), where I was running over a Kyosho car going into a corner. I was bicycling on two wheels. I seem to remember the caption was something about how NOT to drive. :lol:. Thanks for the help. -Jeff

So I started a tear down of the yoke last weekend. Cleaned the bearings & some of the magnesium parts. Then I just realized I had some black delrin bulkheads from my old stash of yoke parts. I even found some center gears that were aluminum instead of the stock plastic gears. So I put them on the car & looks great. It got rid of some parts that were cream colored. The car did not come with a bumper, but I had one that will work. I will have to cut & heat bend it to work. Pics below...

Found some 1700mah Reedy Cells in my old tool box. Will have to do a restoration on these cells. I still have my Turbo Matcher 4 that I can use to check the cells.

Finally painted a body. I tried my best to copy JD Beckwith's body, since I have a Dukomo.

Excellent stuff! Its nice to have your own paint designs, but its soooo much better to see a replica shell painted!
