Thats what I have been thinking, slow running probably does work the clutch more, but it was such a short period of time I didnt imagine that happening. The shoes came with a new spring so I guess it would actually be stiffer than the old one. The old one is pretty messed up, but i guess i could try...

Well after a time of waiting on parts then putting it all back together, it was ready to run, or so I thought... So I started it up pretty easy on my patio, got it to idle nice, got the brake adjusted, let it warm up for a bit then did some small circles checking the steering, all good so far. So th...

I like this colour . Looks more grand than the old white.

I've now replaced a few more parts, this one below had so many bends I would called it rippled...

The steering arm mock up is done. It's not pretty by any means, but it serves a purpose for now and every joint is in the right place. I used some bits of what was left of the original broken parts, don't get the full benefit of the ballracers top and bottom of each stalk like before but it's tight ...

I couldnt make it to my local shop yesterday before closing to try and get a new replacement arm for the servo, then I noticed a plastic picture hook I had in the kitchen that looking shockingly similar to the shape and size of the original arm... 10 mintues of fettling later and I had a replacement...

That youtube clip was awesome

Very nice looking so far, I have just aquired a Nitro ST which looks similar build to this (i'm no expert) and I am trying to restore it.
You wouldnt have a spare steering arm set by any chance??

Ahh... I just found a pic of the parts I really need on a thread by RedScampi.

Mine are smashed into a dozen bits, if I glued them together they would look just like this , but not be of any use.

Came with a non standard TVR body, getting an original or similar would be nice. :) A few spares were there too but not the ones I really need! :cry: The crash wrecked the front chassis plate, front bulkhead, servo arm and both steering arms. The first two parts i've sourced, I'm guessing it won't b...

It's current state...
