But has anyone seen one of Cobra's shells Makes Mr Lexan shells worth a lot more than they were to start with

Then somebody really ought to administratively impound that mountain goat of his! He can goatherd all he wants in the summertime.

Hmmm yeah looks like a rippa!

Hey Ralphee do you know of any other sedan type road tyres that will fot the 2.2inch rims?

Why dont you run it? Then it wont be a doorstop..

i am not on b/s/t as yet

Pro-Line Dirt Hawgs are the most obvious option, although the final drive ratio will drop due to the larger outer diameter of those tires compared to a "normal" tire. There are other street treads that Pro-Line has, but I haven't kept track of them lately, since I stopped bashing once I started racing. I think Duratrax also has some street treads (at least for short course rims they do...not sure about 2.2" buggy rims).

Cheers. I'd like to get in to racing when i get time. What diameter are short course rims? 2inch? Sorry i have nfi.

Made a few updates to this old girl of late. Added a new shell, wing, delrin bulkheads and caps, new motor mount, new layshaft and slipper components, just wanted to make it a bit more mine, be racing her next week now as i can't make this weeks meet, and, that reminds me, gotta go pay a lovely guy here for some AE teflons he's sent me for this car.

Delrin bulkheads *and* caps? Or just delrin bulkheads? Or are they the YR4 nylon bulkheads? I'm confused...

Very nice regardless, and I like the front wing. Some Tenth Technology Predator action going on there

Rheinaldo, i used the YR plastic bulkheads and black caps buddy, going to send of my mag ones to be blasted too though, that way i have a few spare.
Ah, the front wing, its more a bit of protection, for the tower, and the planned carpet ill be running on, i won't rip it, and, hopefully not dig my tower in and snap it lol. I think ill need some of your CF towers in time buddy.

Well that's why I sent a bunch of stuff to Fibre-Lyte

Very nice ride...again....did u do the paint work? What type of rear wing is that? Where can u get those front wings from? You dish up some nice looking cars matey!

Haha, flu i can paint, but not to this level, had it done by a top man on Oople! The wing is a Mikes racing products affair, bought a few a while back!
Front wing is a piece of undertray cut up, easy fix, thanks for the compliments buddy, i do try, hopefully a vid soon of a carpet meet, nothing crazy or flash, but an easy break in after around 15 years plus away from the hobby!
