Yes the plan is that Jamie will run the car

Got the chassis done, copied in DA Graphite brand "vintage" carbon fiber. As per Dans instruction, it is a standard wheelbase version of Jamie's modified chassis.

I also made my own wishbone rear end inspired by pictures of the Booth car that I analysed in great detail in the mags of the time! Unfortunately I used some rather soft plastic I found in my dads garage and the car only lasted about 3 minutes (which was perhaps 3 minutes longer than I expected!)
Great to see the original being restored. |

He has just received the chassis back so there should be updates soon

So, I trial fitted Jeff's amazing workmanship last night, the quality is amazing thanks so much! I also told Jamie that this chassis and upper deck are thicker CF so he can't break it so easily next time
Oh I also threw on a new motor plate for good measure. Next I'll strip it all down for a good clean whilst waiting on the body set. I also took a trip to Dubai at the weekend and bought a vinyl cutter for the custom decals I'll have a shot at! |

You know that's an open invitation to try break it anyway? Looking nice, can't wait for the first testruns. |

I asked Masami what the Japanese logo on the wing and sidepods says, he replied
"It says Super Machine, a Japanese RC Magazine" Does anyone have the logo for me? |

Found it here:
Anyone in graphics if you can extract the letters a la Jamie's wing I'd appreciate it! |

Finished
From winning the 1990 British championships, then smacked into a post and thrown in Jamie's garage.....fast forward 20-odd years and it was handed to me in a red plastic box in July 2014 - contents? Lots of broken bits.
Now back to full health again, a really iconic car....here you go Jamie Booth she'll be in the post soon. Thanks must go to: Jamie himself Jeff (gomachv) (rc10talk) Mini Eason Jonathan J Cryer Haider Lawati And 8rad (rc10talk) James and Steve for graphics advice Darren Styles (last but not least) Hope I didn't miss anyone.
