Ok ladies and gentlemen , after languishing in my mates garage for about 8 years ive managed to prise this example from his hands.
He has used it but only a few times, the last time he used it was probably 1991 . I remember someone on here talking about brimod shocks and that i used to own some, well funnily enough its the ones on the back of this car . Now it needs a good refurbish and the shocks have leaked so either im going to restore it or sell it on to someone else . I havent quite made my mind up yet . Any how ive posted some piccies up to let you all peruse through. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

nice dampers... I've got a Brimod Talisman old pro ten with those on the back, too. Not exactly a hi-tech pro ten but does have very balanced and supple handling, which most pro tens didn't have.
I'll post a pic of it. |

Hi, the maxima looks great!
The PB cars were pretty much unheard of where I was racing back in the day, but they definately seem really advanced for their time. Belt drive, 2-speed gearbox, etc. Must confess I've never seen one in the flesh, and certainly not a 2-speed car. Have you? Wonder how well that works. Anyhow, I happen to have a set of used, original PB wheels that might help out with your project. They've never been glued, and are in good but certainly not perfect condition. Nevertheless, I gather that they are just about impossible to find these days. If you're interested in having them, PM me and I'm sure we can work something out. ![]() Looking forward to seeing another classic back on the road... Nice. ![]() Last edited by tymill; 09-06-2008 at 05:37 PM. Reason: Bigger photo |

Great thread _ I used to drive the PB Mustang which was the Maximas cheaper baby brother. Plastic driveshafts which popped out quite a lot, but the rest was quite good, even if the belt tensioner was a bit iffy!!

If your talking of the Mini Mustang, it was the predecessor of the Maxima, we raced them when they were first released. These were released around the time the first Schumacher Cats were released in swb guise, and were the only real competitor to the CAT, only my opinion others may disagree. I loved the Mini Mustang, but never really liked the Maxima (although still a great bit of RC history) by time of its release Schumacher had produced the more competitive CAT XL.
Or are you talking about the 1/8th scale car Ted?? I'd still love to get hold of a mini mustang though, would be great for a vintage series!! |

The Brimod shocks were on my Optima http://oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10010 (there is a pic of a nice clean mini mustang with Brimods all round in that thread, looks like a 2 speed version too)
I might be interested in the shocks for spares if you were ever thinking of selling them separately. |
