The Egress was a good competitive chassis, the biggest reason it wasn't as popular is that it cost £270, compared with £175 for the Mid and £199 for the Cat, both proven race winners. High price means less people buy them, so less people to develop it on the track. Jamie Booth did okay with it but didn't start getting the big results until he switched to the Manta Ray.

Is Jamie Booth related to Phil Booth (legendary 1:8 TR racer)?
Another question: Those cool black wheels on many of the hopped up old cars on the Time Tunnel site - what are they? (where can I buy them?)

No, Jamie and Phil Booth aren't related.
Which wheels? Can you show a car with the wheels on? I think most of them are various wheels dyed black.

OK, thx!
The wheels on the first post in this thread. More pics in the Time Tunnel link. Oh! And does anyone know the part no. for a BAR Honda sticker sheet like the one used on that Boomerang?

Looks like you're right Terry, he drills holes using this template, and then dyes them... But those round GoodYear stickers - where can one get those? They look groooooovy!!!

For the Goodyear Eagle stickers look for the sticker sheet for the Tamiya Motorola Lola T94, virtually impossible to find though. Others similar to those are on all Tamiyas formula 1 sticker sheets.
The Speed Disc stickers on the first picture aren't available in white, but Tamiya included red versions of those with the Manta Ray. Those will be custom made, as will the BAR Honda sticker sheet. The only ones I know of are the F1 stickers from here http://www.formula1-rc.com/Default.a...21&CatalogID=1 If they are available they will be a specialist sheet from Japan as you can't sell models with tobacco branding on them anywhere in the world.

Thx!
Wow! That guy is not kidding around now is he... I see the logo "Autographics" - could that be where he gets the sheets from? Do you know their website by any chance?

Autographics have shut down. They used to be great for all those scale replica sponsor sticker sheets but as sponsors now see scale versions as a way of making extra money with licensing these days instead of free advertising like they used to, all the extra costs (and chances of getting sued) made it non profitable.
What they have left from their stock is on ebay http://stores.ebay.co.uk/AutoGraphics-of-California but most of the good ones went at least a year ago. They used to make Goodyear stickers like Tanaka has used on those buggies, but those are long gone. Guess where I got the paint scheme for my runner Optima

Thx! Those from http://www.formula1-rc.com/Default.a...21&CatalogID=1 look kinda cook, where/how can I buy them? (guess I just have to register first, I'll check... by email it turned out)
Thx also for the Autographics link, got me at least some OK ones... a Pepsi car could be cool

Those F1 replicas are only available direct from the website. Delivery might take a while as they are based in Hawaii.

I've read it's possible to buy "new & unpainted" RC10 bodies for the "gold pan" cars, is that true? If so, where can I get it?
