Hi All,
Well I've finished my fully functional A stamp gold pan and thought I'd share the pics with you all.. want to take the old girl out for a spin, just waiting for the weather to clear up here in England.. (might be a long wait)
Took a few months off and on, including freight from Amercia!!.. bought a wrecked one off ebay
I remember going into the model shop in Oxford (Howes Models) as a kid and just lusting after this car.. happy memories
The spotlights were a bit of a git to attach.. resorted to hot pins & superglue. .anyone got any better ideas??

Very nice. I need to get another pair of lights and a correct wing to really finish off mine right. Sure is fun to look at them when they are done and bring back memories of all the fun racing.
Absolutely stunning bit of kit right there. Don't know if I would have the male parts to take it out for a spin though. It would probably live its life on my shelf for me to gaze at it lovingly.
My son... ask for thyself another kingdom... for that which I leave is too small for thee.
Hi Chris,
The stripes were hand cut from (overlaid & layered) white / blue vinyl married up to each other using a paper templates for shape (the curves at the back were a pig) and a metal ruler as a guide when sticking them down (really fiddly!?!) the "10" was a bit of a hatchet job using stencil typeface, scapel'd out of white and applied to the underside of body.. glad you like, really enjoyed doing it.

Here's what I started with..

WOW. I'm even more impressed that you had to paint the stripes on etc. Nicely done!
Ok, so it's not 100% done, as I haven't finished the wiring quite yet, but I figured it was pretty close, and it was time to throw together a few pictures of the car. Im sure plenty of you have more work into your cars, but this was quite a project...

I changed out the rear suspension mounts because one was cracked, when I took the old ones out I noticed somebody had cut them down, why would they do that?

Does that car have rear hex conversion?

If so, use Traxxas 7171 wheels.
That's why I was curious about the axle picture. For rears with the 3/16 axle it seems easy enough to switch from hex to...
I have wanted one of these since my best friend from childhood had one in the late 80's. I picked this up on eBay last night, hope I didnt get hurt too bad at $300. It was advertised as an A stamp Andy's edition . What can you all tell me about this...

The tires for the 1.9/1.7 JConcepts can be hard to find at times.
They are overseas but JC Racing has wheel options for both axle sizes.
Alternatively, you can use the above 2.2 JConcepts fronts and Traxxas 7171 rears with Factory Works rear...
