Yes !!
Re-re's are fine as long as its almost based on the original ( Re-re Holiday Buggy for instance.. not exactly vintage that one ), a Frog running would be ace !! Pugboy ( Chris isnt it ? I brought your old Sanwa receivers off you a couple of years back... ) try these guys on Ebay - http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Nowinghobby...=p4634.c0.m322 I cant remember what pitch your belts are, but most rubber belts are still available somewhere in the world in various lengths - if they are slightly too long just add in a discreet belt tensioner Find out the belt pitch for me and ill do some digging for you if you cant find them |

Hi Paul, yes re-releases are more than welcome although as Matt, says only real ones, the Holiday Buggy is most definitely not a proper rerelease!
Also welcome would be Hotshot, Boomerang, fast attack vehicle & Buggy Champ! |
#24

It would be great to see a Hotshot or Supershot running in the series
It was one car i always wanted as a kid but never had... even now i dont have one in my collection... |

Mat,
got any setup tips for my Manta ray please? Cheers Dave |

Ill dig out the old TRF Top Force set ups i used for the last couple of years Dave - if you remember the old Top Force ran quite well even in my hands
I remember springs i changed to use standard Top Force rears, with Silver Associated fronts - i couldnt track down a Short Hi-Cap tuning set so was forced to use Associateds, which luckily fit fine One thing you really should get though, and i use - the alloy motor mount ( increases much needed motor cooling and allows an extra small pinion to be used ) and the 5 degree optional front hubs ( alloy again ) to gain some extra steering. It is a very forgiving car to drive though, you'll love it |

Oh yeah I remember that, cheers for the advice, I'll try and find out the pitch and length and see if there is something out there. The layout and pitch/pulley size looks similar to a yokomo yz 870c that I had before the tomy but would have to check to be sure. Cheers Chris

Paul F - Frog Maggsy - Jrx Pro In that list are: 2 x Kyosho 3 x Schumacher 1 x PB (how cool would that be) 3 x Associated 4 x Losi 4 x Tamiya 1 x Yokomo Interesting |

|
||||
That's a nice mix tbh - with respect to all our cars, the PB Mustang is definitely the pick of the bunch for me ! To see one of those running again would be ace
I thought Dave B had a Mustang as well though... are you going to run that Dave or is it too mint ? |
#36
|
||||
|
||||
I thought about it but I dont really want to run any of the pb's for fear of breaking something

Naaa thats fair enough Dave, parts arent exactly easy to come by for PB minters !
These are the dates Pete's come up with for the vintage series - 4th November 2nd December 6th January 3rd February 2nd March 6th April Plenty of time for you to get one of your collection going Andy ! Ill be running the Egress, Top Force and possibly the Super Astute - it means i can keep changing wheels from car to the other to save on tyres ! |

Wouldn't a heat of re re sand scorchers or fav's look awesome!
I can't believe there is a tamiya not in your collection
