holy crap, that T1 is, how to say it... dead? How did he do that :shock:
It had a slight disagreement with the rolling tires of a Ford Expedition and obviously the Expedition won.
After seeing others sprint car projects got me motivated to do something with my Ascot sprint car conversion. It stalled out long ago when I wasn't happy with the wheels on it. I had a set of tecnacrafts slated for this vehicle but they needed a lot...

Now that's a sprint car. WOW!! 8)
I still have one of these in pieces in a box somewhere but I don't have those wheels and tires.
Having the right wheels can make the car -- imho.
Just awesome!!! :D
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...

Well I've already started to work on my Ascot I want it to look half decent until I get around to a total rebuild. Anyhow a couple of things I've noticed about this lead me to believe that they weren't made as well as the Big Boys Toys sprinter. The...

I just recently went through this for my big boy toys sprinter(which I sadly just sold to fund a modern customworks racer)
there are two Sprint bodies that mcallister made back in the 80s that would work for the early Big Boys Toys Sprints, and I...

Looking great Pete. That sprint was good score. Nice work cleaning it up.
Ok, I got this Ascot from Mike (Thanks Mike), I have a few questions...
#1 Can a AE 6163 sprinter body be cut to work on this car (I have one), Any examples or should i just look out for a ascot body (Im guessing they made a body of there own)
#2...

That looks like a piece of art, not a rc car...nice...
Does anyone know where the display cars ended up? They had a couple sprint cars in glass display boxes going around the dirt turn like a diorama. RC10s converted to be exact. They were gorgeous. I wonder who ended up with them?
Only a mock-up for now to test how everything fit together....which is remarkably well. I was able to use existing holes on the rear arm mounting plate for the rear of the cage but they do push the main cage about 1/2 further ahead of the rear...
