Dan, hmm now your scaring me into chickening out on the pink lol, these wheels arent too easy to come by, and the secind pair i bought werent cheap, may leave a set natural, and one set black, is i already have pink JC's now? Foams for sure matey lol, its how it was back then huh........good old day...

Paul thats awesome, thank you. I recall Rallycross trying to come back in 200mm form some years later, didnt seem to last long though as the hobby was saturated with 190mm touring.
Think the main instigators were Tamiya and HPI......and Losi had a tinker too with an offroad Street Weapon?

Nigel, great minds budd LOL.

Dennis, the normal webbed dish Yokomo rims buddy, i have two NIP sets, that i want to RIT dye one set pink, the other black.
The JC's fitted are earmarked for some foam onroad tyres, though i may also get a couple of JC spokes too, there kinda sweet.

bests......lee

Nigel, something akin to that CML advert im leaning to, what ye reckon kind sir?

Paul, thanks buddy, as for the gawdiness, its from the 90's, which stemmed from the 80's, which brought us, Flo orange and yello socks, so, a bit of pink, cant be that bad LOL.

Nigel, i pondered it, but drips never really go me going, i was always into period flames and faded splits i guess.

90's era would be most excellent! 8) Nice job Lee, that should be the description of a "Mint" rebuild. :wink: Aaron, ill get the shell cut buddy, choose my pallet and masking style, then consult you guys again lol, kinda wanted to redo the Masami tribute i ran way back, just not sure, it ...

Fantastic re-build - great attention to detail too 8) I know the car has thrown up some unpleasant suprises along the way & has probably cost you a small fortune to get it to where you are now happy with it! But at least you can kind of call it 'yours' - & you must have a great sense of sat...

What direction are you going with it from here? Stock shocks? White center bulkhead cap? Stock wing? Stock hubs? For now, its pretty much as new, and ill run it. I would like to have original std shocks, i have a white centre bulkhead cap, but its tatty, and the hubs, i have new rears, but the fron...

Thank you sir, this wouldnt have happened without the help of some of you guys here, so HUGE thanks to the relevant bodies that have propped me up through this! Next update should have rebuilt shocks, and, a new shell and tray. Which reminds me, shell design, was going for a Masami, but worried its ...

Bit of an update guys, finally got the time and parts to get the roller almost ready. A few screws i still want to swap out but not much really. Slight hitch on the shocks, there air filled right now, as the "new" LOL, shocks i was sold, really arent new, and the lower seals are pooped, so...

I have a little bundle of white ball ends ive took off mine, there OK, just a bit scruffier than id be happy with, yours if ya want em bro, think i have 8, there still white, not too faded, just have a few nicks here and there.

Wow, yeah, thats what i mean, i actually had the second mag you scanned, which im reading right now lol. Thanks Paul, your a star, man, that shaves years off me seeing this, i remember my Ttechi raced for a short time, had an international, bought the FTD conversion kit i think it was back then, rea...

Im guessing those rear rims are Top force Evo? Fronts from the TRF201? Its still a blinding find though, regardless of the missing bits.

Request for anything on the subject, was pretty big back in the day in England, converted 4wd buggies, pretty spwaned the 190mm craze here, sad to say, although widescale bodies were fugly (Peugeot 405 lol) the chassis were a blast to drive, foam tyres, hot motors, bliss. Itll mainly be in RRC mags,...
