just got in these babies thanks kenooze!!! i know these aren't the 100% 1700 cells these are the 3000's, but they have the same look! so now the cars 100% complete

one last pic

I've really enjoyed watching this car be restored over the years. And I'm not trying to criticize but I thought I'd point out a couple of differences I noticed between the original and your restoration.

The bellcrank on the right side looks different. And the turnbuckles look like RCPS or similar.
Keep up the good work, it looks killer.

DANG IT THANKS! NOW I HAVE TO SPEND MORE MONEY ON THIS DARN CAR the mip right steering bellcrank is missing the support like on Mr. Moores car check his car pics. and u r correct those are RCPS turnbuckles never noticed that before. just bought a set off ebay as i write this. thanks again

Rcps are the same as the classic Lunsford (lunsford supplies rcps) which is still being made...just for future use

i know just got em http://www.ebay.com/itm/271930244421?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Ive read it over as well, cool history! I don't know if it was mentioned, but the rear tires in original picture look like Losi X pattern which IIRC was pretty popular.

correct turnbuckles now added

You'll have a very hard time finding the same steering rack as the one on Eustace's car. It looks like an early/possibly prototype of the MIP zero maintenance steering that was available until a few years back. The one available was black though with a few differences and I've never seen a white pair...

little update i did find the correct rear body mount off an old rc10 i bought off ebay.

Hi Hugger,

What a great story and a great rebuild.

Looking at the original, it looks like the nut on the tie rods is on the outside, at the tire end?

you might be correct but really hard to tell. if u check out mr. moores car i set em up the same way. thanks

Hi Hugger,

Are we looking at the buggy on page 1?

If you look at the right front, you can see the camber link has the nut at the tire end,

and you cannot see the nut on the steering link, which would mean it is on the tire end?

And the rear tie rod nut is on the tire end.

The post where your buggy is above the original, right click the original buggy image and open in a new tab for a larger pic.

just spun em around thanks

Glad to help, even in a small way!
