this is my old car i got as a kid many years back.. i havent used it in about 7 years maybe more, i dont really know much about r/c cars so its definately going to be a good bit of fun cleaning it up.. it was a non runner till this week. i have cleaned out the fuel tank lines carb ect as it was full of old fuel that had turned into a slop and flushed some new fuel through it, after following some great instructions off this website i manage to get it set up after plenty of fiddeling, so currently it runs... great! the body shell had a chemical spillt on it so it has lost some paint but also it has cracked and split the body shell as you can see in the pictures.. i have contacted many suppliers and serched all over the internet for a replacement with no luck :( i have purchesd some white wheels to replace the lovely pink ones :gay: but they have not arrived yet.. i spent allot of time today trying to repair the shell as best as i could so it is atleast strong and not sticking out everywhere (it doesnt look the best).

here are some pics i took with my phone.. not the best quality but you get the idea. also dont really know how to post them so here goes :P






i will upload some more pictures when i get the new wheels and paint up the body shell so you can see how my first efforts look

chassis looks tidy B)

nice lil project there.

as regards the shell... keith from kamtec may be able to copy it

nice car where do u work i have that exact tool box !

cheers, ill give them a call tomorrow.. thats not my tool box :P i have a black snap-on roll cab, i work for a large ford dealership in the north west.. well i do for another week or so then new job at peugeot lol :cruising:

contacted kamtec.. hes going to get back to me weather its worth the £ for him to make one, just thaught i would put some pics up of car so far.. finished paintwork off.. could do with some stickers, but started running like a dog today so probably going to have to get the pros to set it up properly...




lighting wasnt best on this one and my fat finger got in the way :clap: but you can see where the old damage was but its back in shape and its strong enough for now :P

cool looking much better now.

if you can make the next bash i'll have a go at tuning the engine for you

looking good mate
