Team (tub) car part 2

[marlo]

With almost all the parts to build a late team car, either a black/white, or an all black, and I'm leaning towards an all black, would anyone know what an all black team would have used for "correct" tires. ATM I have a rear set of #6823, that I was going to use on the white/black version, but if I do go with the all black, would these still have been used. Also if it were an all black, would #6873 front still have been used, or were they using prolines by that time, #8015, #8016?

I should also mention, the reason why I'm calling this a "part 2 build" is because I recently finished a mid generation team car, and had changed direction on that build, so some of those parts that never made it to the finished product, will now be used on this build. I hope you will enjoy it as it progresses.

The foundation for this build will be C-stamped chassis, Thank you Brain. This was the original chassis that I started off using on my first team but never made it to the final product. And one of gomachv's minty motor plates.

I have never figured out how you guys have time to take pics, I don't even think I breathe when I am building a minty kit!

Beautiful start!

Thanks Jeff At first I had no plans to post this build, but I thought others might like to see it, and pump some more vintage stuff into the forum, not that it needs it, but it couldn't hurt

[marlo]

I have a question. I have decided to do a white car, with black arms, and will be using a white "worlds" rear bulk head. What would be the stock ball stud location, under the wing mount (like older cars), or in the new location, (like on the Worlds car), one hole over. Thanks.

i dont know how you can keep building car and never run them lol

nice loooking start .. are you going to keep it box stock or any aftermarket on it

[marlo]

Thanks for the compliment. I only do stock builds now, with no plans to run any of them. I do have a couple of runners though

[integra22t]

i could see me pulling my hair out trying to find all the mint parts .. i tryed to find a couple of parts i use to run back in the day and its like pulling teeth to get the parts .. ie Losi hyda drive conversion lol

I don't know either - and I've SEEN his collection. I would be jamming everything into those cars to get them running right away. That's the best part for me - seeing the built up creation wreaking havoc on the street

I have one quasi-shelfer body that I made for my Sand Scorcher that I'm afraid to run because its so nice but I'm sure at some point, I'll just cave and go drive that around too.

[marlo]

best way to explain my logic, is picture them as model's, carefully put together for viewing only, BTW Chris, you'll need to stop buy again, ....it's grown a little since you last seen them

I like the black tub with all white parts version myself...

With what little time I had this weekend I managed to do some work on my late Team.

Car looks good. I'm the same as you, i build cars just to shelf. I tell people that they are art, built to be looked at not played with.

Thanks, but not many would agree for me it's all about show, not go
