Great to see this finished and safely on its shelf ! How did you solve the broken mono shock mount in the end ? haha thanks! Yes, the shelf is where it belongs, really... To fix that broken mount (and hence the chassis altogether), I used something like that: https://static.gorillacdn.ch/media/imag...

Hey folks, Early Brat has been lurking in my attic for a couple of years and lockdown here in the UK has given me an excuse to drag it out. This is my first ORV having been a Kyosho Scorpion/Beetle kid. The car is very original and likely quite low miles. It has the 380 motor, setup to take a 6v bat...

A few years ago I picked up a basket case Rough Rider for like $10 at the going out of business sale of a long time hobby shop. I bought it because it was cheap and original, and I thought it would be fun to take apart. I had no plans for it. Fast forward to 1300GT's incredible 4WD SRB thread . That...

I would try contacting TeamBlueGroove, they do fairly decent repros of all kinds of stuff, including some Hirobo offerings:

They might be interested in repopping your gear cover.

Steve Haskins of Penguin bodies does a great job, I have been thoroughly happy with my bodies I have bought from them. I don’t believe he is on here, but he is on Facebook and eBay

The other one that comes to mind is Old RC but I'm not sure he makes "copies"

Worth a shot....

getting closer
just need to print bumpers ,and the hood scoop ,and apply the rest of the decals .and i will be ready for electronics

I can't believe it's been 10 years already since I got involved in this... it's insane :shock: The good news is, I still have it and I still love this car dearly. And I still run it once in a while, last time just a few days ago. Just wanted to share a couple of pics of the car, dirty like it should...

The wheels look great!

Man, Dadio, you're getting good at this 3d design/printing thing.

I'm getting a little closer to having a running car I've got the body and under tray painted and installed. I also have the electronics almost all done :D. Don't mind the wheels I have some coming from JC racing. IMG_20200427_172759.jpg IMG_20200427_172723.jpg IMG_20200427_172742.jpg IMG_20200427_17...

Getting there. new servo mounts painted and installed, hood scoop installed. printing a interior now.

Got some painting done today. I'll do the roll cage tomorrow.
I wanted red accents to be flat but unfortunately I only have that color in gloss.
I'm planning to apply a water-based black wash over the driver's suits so maybe that will dull the red a little.

Hello mate, The 2 speed isn't in the main PB manual but a printed supplement is included. If you don't have it, here's a copy of it explaining set up and brakes. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49836959837_618aecbfa2_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49836959947_74a8b519d0_b.jpg I haven'...

Chassis finally together.

I wish someone would 3D print some big wood screws, for that true vintage - modern - vintage feel.....
