DA is likely to have made the material for the Dukemo chassis, I have some parts left as well-

The car originally belonged to Steve Goodrich. We raced at Hobby Haven in Livermore CA back in the 90's. I think he raced for Associated. The Dukomo I ran had the white arms all around with the sparkly 3x4 chassis. I will take close up pics of the lower suspension arms later. I will take you guy's advice & maybe do a Kinwald or JD replica. I was talking to JD at the recent ROAR 2011 Off Road Nats & asked him if he has the itch to go back. He said No. He did come out just to run at a club race.

No one in particular- ( unless you frequented more oval races than off-road ). But.....you have to know the right people from BITD to just " happen " upon a Dukemo works 93 with cut n shut 2.0 x patterns :wink:

It was by luck I knew someone who had the Dukomo. BITD I ran mostly Off-road in RC city (Milpitas) & Hobby Haven (Livermore). Now I mostly run TC at Norcal, although I ran the 2011 ROAR off road Nats recently & ran my B-MAX. I was SUPER rusty!!! So what's your name?

Fantastic example of this rare machine. Everything looks new! Even the modified (good pick up Reggie) Losi X-Pattern tires look new.

I agree with Iso and I would restore this car in its original condition. Have you considered a J.D. Beckwith replica paint scheme?

Look forward to seeing how this build eventuates :)

Jeff- I got the car from Jeff Hastings. He got it awhile back from Steve.
I wish I was there when JD gave away 2 garbage bags worth of his Dukomo parts to the owner of Antioch raceway a few years back.
Yes i think I will do a JD replica.
