Wait...selling your kids is an option instead of RC stuff?

[GoMachV]

Yes, please tell us more about this selling of children...I have a couple original one owners taking up what could be my indoor hobby room!

[DennisM]

I´ll have to check up on that - these new trafficing rules are a pain in the butt to figure out

It's easier to make another kid than another 93WCS.

Your probably right but while its a hobby item site, and not a parenting group, ill bang on at Alex to keep her LOL!

It's going up tonight, I'm pricing high so hopefully no one will buy it.

[ralphee]

Awww mannnnn lol, it'll be a good viewing to see go to auction Alex, shame, you do NOTHING by half, so somebody will be a very lucky punter, good luck buddy!

I just to get a body and paint, R/C stuff has gone on the back burner a bit of late.

Small Update

Thanks to Peakey I got an original rear camber plate ZD 30 for the old girl so apart from the steering parts, the chassis and hubs she is pretty much all original Yokomo parts.

ZD 30



Original Yokomo part has the countersunk holes as opposed to the one I had made at Fibrelyte



Fitted



I also tweaked the original 870c anti roll bar so it cleared the rear tower



While she was out of the attic I thought I'd complete a couple of jobs on her. The wing mounts I have which I want to keep on as I like them had imperial threads. I had a blue aluminum screws attaching them on to the shock tower which wasn't really in keeping with the build. So I re-tapped them to take a M3 screw this allowed me to use a titanium screw for a more original look.



Re-tapping



Done and fitted with titanium M3 screw



I had an original CML protec II lying around so I decided to mount it on the old girl, which I think looks quite good and certainly makes a change from all the other WCS out there. I just need to get it painted up now. Hopefully that's not going to take me another two years......

[Mr. ED]

Is that the same body as the fastrax one?
