Back in the day motors were always rated by Turns. The lower the number the more time you would spend repairing your buggy and motor :mrgreen: What is the deal with brushless? What rating is 'normal' power for an old buggy? Something that will not kill it's transmission or cause it to crash too easi...

I am now just getting the retro shocks I want then getting custom carbon fibre towers made to match them perfectly. So it is not an issue.

But also I decided I should stick to a retro theme, or it would be too mix and match. So the theme is retro hop up's.

It never stops amazing me how much space you have in America. The size of your average houses, rooms, land, quantity of toys is all generally amazing.

When that shelf space turns out not to be big enough you know you have issues Time to start being selective if it comes to that.

I still chat loads on a car audio forum. Mainly about anything other than car audio. I havent installed anything in a coule of years so that is overdue. Once I have finished with my new rc toy and bmx re-build. Life is better with multiple distractions.

Thanks, I found out the fronts were too high and the rears too short. What industry standard? They are all different

Anyway I decided to stick with retro and go for old Kyosho Golds. Well I have the rears anyway, so halfway there.

Thanks to various members and this amazing site for helping me with so much info recently! I have managed to find a lot of spare parts for my World's car. Loads on the way with photos to follow in due course... Brand New NIP spare parts coming: Front suspension arms RPM mini black bumpers Stainless ...

Very clever and what a cool looking retro radio!

Thanks for the suggestions. But I have also had poor experiences with window tints. Also I do not wish to mix colours as it will not be perfect. If there is no off the shelf solution I'll have to pay a pro air brusher, who will no doubt blend something before spraying. Or have a rethink!

I am interested to know the length of the shocks measured between the centre holes, front and rear.

If you have some to measure please PM me

Thanks so much!!

I have seen medium shade greys and gunmetal colours. I have also seen lots of plain jet blacks. But is there a lexan paint shade which is in between? Closer to black than grey (maybe 80% towards black) and ideally metallic. Just an off the shelf rattle can please.

Thanks!

(Still waiting for my car to arrive and wish to order some parts) Could someone kindly let me know these details please... 1. The length of front and rear shocks in mm (taken from the centres of the pivot mounting holes). 2. What sort of Brushless motor and ESC would you recommend? Car will be run o...

I have to say if I ever bought a second rc car it would be an old school Yokomo Dogfighter YZ-10. For me they are the coolest 4WD buggy ever made.

Update - just bought a second set of alloy wheels. Pictures below are from the kind seller... http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8530/8563537788_3b841e89c1_z.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8103/8562429475_cd1a10784a_z.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8371/8562429309_5e1df8ffbe_z.jpg http://farm9.stat...

Dampers / shocks - thoughts wanted... I am not a huge fan of the green/grey-ish colour of the World's dampers. Nor am I a huge fan of the white plastic accessories on those dampers. Yes I know they are period, correct, rare etc. But I am going to do this to please my eyes for when it is on display. ...
