just had a look at the manual now missing a few part but might jsut make a load of stuff on a lath and that get it runnign as i dont think i will find any parts and if a do i think they will cost a lot as it debut was in 1983 and i think it will be very rare i would say.
Matt - March 12, 2008 11:27 PM (GMT)
make a list of parts and pm me, i'll ask around :thumbs_up:
p.s. good project by the way!

yeh the 'i' version wasnt an overly popular model so bits are going to be like hens teeth to find i think mate although some parts from the more popular 'L' or 'E' models may be interchangeable
al3x_34 - March 12, 2008 11:30 PM (GMT)
yea i know well what you see in the pic i put up is what i have so loads of stuff missing really mainly rear axle and wheels and tires
al3x_34 - March 12, 2008 11:32 PM (GMT)
well all pan cars are very similar really all use similar pars and that will prabaly be able to fins some stuff to fit it. i wonder how much it would be worth if it was a runner with original stuff in it
Matt - March 12, 2008 11:33 PM (GMT)
right leave it with me :thumbs_up:

I just bought a pan car but 1/10,

and I have a set of wheels and axles etc that came with a shell but no chassis, might be something that fits?



:thumbs_up:

thats nice tim, what model?
purpletimbo - March 13, 2008 03:04 AM (GMT)
Shell and wheels are RC10L I think raced by a guy who used Toms local LHS in 90s they have their sticker on rear spoiler
Pan car is probably a
Jaco wheels, 10LS/12LS front end, 10L shock. Maybe a Trinity chassis?
although
the car does seem cobra-ish. i think they used the associated front end on their cars. also, the 2 rear hubs look like cobra's, too.
So Monty what is it then :D
al3x_34 - March 13, 2008 07:58 AM (GMT)
the axle might fit which would be good but im not sure about the shell is it 1:10 or 1:12
purpletimbo - March 13, 2008 02:20 PM (GMT)
red and white one is 1/10 blue one is 1/12
:thumbs_up:
