this is the final result .....

went with a motor swap... thoughts?

This is a custom legend based build I did for Noah with the help of a good friend and racer. Noah helped design the Lego theme wrap on the real legend car of another local racer that gave him the entire car as a canvas for his imagination to run wild. We had the wrap scaled down by Vital Graphics so...

Wild Willy had a son. His son grew up with the same crazy and wild passions as his Dad from the early 1980’s. He felt the need. The need for speed, and crazy wheeling same as his Dad. He grew up with the crazy wheelies of his Dad’s antics. But he wanted more. He wanted real 4x4 action. He built his ...

Coxbros1 that’s ace thank you.
Coelacanth yeah me too... it doesn’t worry me at all. A drive shaft, 2 upper wishbones and a couple of brackets will make it a complete chassis. Just need to know which chassis I’m ordering it for as I want to keep it as original as possible.

I actually get a bit disappointed when I receive a used chassis that's in TOO good condition...like, "What's there for me to do here?" Dirt and funk cleans up easily. Broken and missing parts, stripped threads, CA glue, ancient double-sided tape residue...now THAT'S when I go "WOW!&qu...

I gave the shocks a thorough going over with sandpaper and metal polish after de-anodising them. The rears had suffered from years of spring gouging and really needed it. They're not perfect but they look great compared to what they used to look like. Note the brass spring collars. Pretty nifty.

I need some help from you guys.
Is there a Yokomo wheel that has a offset that is between ZC-827C and ZC-835?
I have a pair of ZC-827C and they rub the steering knuckles and at full steer the shocks.
and I tested a pair of ZC-835 and then the car becomes too wide.

What I lack in votes, I make up for in consistency. Slow and steady wins the race...

I sold my forever car years ago.... my PB Mini Mustang, with OziFET ESC, Technigold, and those cool gold Hotshot rims. Oh, and my paint job and optional wing... PB_2.jpg Nothing will ever come close to that, until I build up a replica... I'm getting there, slowly, like all my projects. I just don't ...
