You'd be fine.....

1st year I ran my fire dragon with a 10.5 boosted touring setup was hilarious finished 3rd
2nd year I ran my manta ray with same setup finished 2nd

This year is a cougar 1/2 hybrid cos I wanted to play 2wd again

It's a laugh whatever you run specially vintage tamiya stuff

Just testing the water really..

is there anyone out there that wants to run vintage but is looking for a car?

I'd be happy to part with my bosscat and bosscat works (1993) as a package so you'd have plenty of spares?

Moving house soon so need to thin out the collection again..

After a drunken purchase of ebay, im after some optima mid parts, the main thing is spur gear and wheels, but will take most things as i have no spares at all.

Cheers

Most 12mm hex wheels will fit - I think fastrax do some that would fit, I suspect RW still do spur gears. I hope the idler gear in the gearbox is ok as that's the only part that is super mega extremely rare! The rest of the parts are just rare, but they are out there

after using cheaper servo`s in a cougar and having them fail i would go for a better quality such as a savox.
especially in a vintage where parts are hard to source and we want to see your vintage on the track this year mike and not in bits

I went for a 20 pound servo, Martyn recommended scanner rc, have also read good reports about the power hd servos.
Budget vintage racing

I run cheap Alturn in my club 22 and the 22T. Seem fine and have held up in some big(ish) crashes without a servo saver. Still use Scanner too. Think JE had a sale on them a while back.
