Scored this for $100 on the bay yesterday..it's a fair bit different to my BBT is it an Ascot?..can anybody tell me anything about it..what year they came out who made them...those rims look a little different to are they alloy or plastic?

Cheers
Pete

Looks like it could be...the bolt on nose plate was an ascot feature. It looks quite a bit like the car I had, but I am not 100% sure.

Yeah I was surprised to win it..it was on $99 for days so I bid $100 and then when out..came home to see I'd won it I thought it would go for much more..not complaining though..

Wow that's a nice rig...love all the bling...is that an alloy chassis plate?

yes it is, someday I will make an aluminum bulk head and suspension arms

Suspension arms?...you must have a great workshop to be able to build stuff like that..I made an alloy shock tower for my BBT but that's about my limit

Pete,
Great score on the Ascot. Super cheap.
So are we going to see another sweet sprint build?

I have a bridgeport outfitted with a proto trac and a small hardindge lathe that I grabbed a couple years back just never get the time to use it.

You never know Doug I couldn't resist it...after building one I've learnt a thing or two about wasting money on the wrong parts..

my sprinter of the same cage and chassis design came from advanced engineering.

i dunno whether advanced just re-boxed ascots or if both companies got the chassis and cage bits from the same place.

BadHoopty,

That sprinter Rocks. The Advance wheels and tires look perfect on that car. My interest in these sprints comes from all of the old RCCA mags I read growing up and all of their sprint builds always had advance tires and mags. Looks great!

thanks, it was my first 'adult' rc10 build, which led to many, many more...
