Does Indiana Jones know you’ve got those 3 Amber items. He spent ages trying to get hold of them if I recall correctly!

No 4WD because nothing lives up to my original Optima. Until now maybe?...

Losi XXX, pretty much as new condition, I think it was raced twice, and it has sat in a cupboard for the past 20 years.

Default Samurai Runner

I got a nice Samurai recently and could not resist running it so to save temptation I build this from some slightly rough parts I got in a job lot , its got a Kydex undertray to protect the delicate gearbox mounts on the chassis , I've run a piece of M3 studding right through both the top shock mounts to reinforce them , painted the scruffy chassis and designed and printed a front frame/body , also drew up and 3d printed the roll cage , nerf bars ,rear wing mount and wheels.

The air shocks do work ! When it arrived they were gummed up inside and not really working at all but they are not totally sealed , they have a grub screw that you can adjust the air bleed damping with so I removed the grub screw and fed 10w shock oil in then flushed it out , it was totally black filth that bled out ! so I repeated untill it was just grey filth then virtually clear now they work very smoothly . You can't adjust the spring but you can the damping , it's a fully sealed piston inside and it pumps air through a bleed hole as mentioned above , by adjusting the grub screw you can let more or less air flow through the bleed hole for more or less damping , I think people replaced them because of the lack of spring adjustment but I'm keeping them !
The whole car was kind of like the shocks when it arrived , polished on the outside but unserviceable under the skin the diffs were like gravel, every linkage on the steering was about to drop off and a lot of it was assembled wrong ! It was a good price and it's only cost some diff balls ,lube , a few screws and nuts to set straight , now she's up and running
