Re: TAG Pro10 mag review car with options

I can only guess that this is one of the earlier examples, which would be supported by the fact that it was used as a mag review car. The silver angled metal parts on the hubs (I have also seen golds available) might also hint at this perhaps? I have gold equivalents that i might swap out at some po...

Re: SWB v XL - Oct '87

Yes there are. I mentioned it in my original post.

According to Ian Diboll ‘Twin servos were due to the kick backs being very weak until we started putting more bands on…’

Re: TAG/SG Coyote/Pro10 undertray

So i checked the undertray with my Coyote bodyshell.... it remains a bit of a mystery really. It does fit inside the Coyote shell (width) but is longer at the rear. I think it may be designed for both the Coyote and the Pro10 and you just have to trim the rear end accordingly. It is certainly listed...

Re: TAG Pro10 mag review car with options

This advert for the 'NEW Pro10' featured in the May edition of RCMC magazine, so that was out on the shelves in April (in the UK at least).

Re: ** Build of the Month Contest - May 2023 ** - Winner - morrisey0

Easy one for me this month….. as mentioned above by others I quickly scan through the pics and usually the car I wanted most bitd grabs my attention. There are certain categories that just don’t do it for me - I think the UK eye and hence tastes are very different on that front; we never really had ...

Re: TAG Pro10 mag review car with options

Bit of work on the Pro10. First off I switched the standard shocks to Option House - my go to choice bitd and also what the TAG team drivers ran. I also fitted the optional front ARB kit at the same time, as well as relocating the front shock tower ahead of the front bulkhead and thus moved the uppe...

Re: TAG Pro10 mag review car with options

Yeah i was a bit like that as soon as he mentioned it.... 'duuur why didn't i think of that?!' Gisom rims are identical in diameter to the standard red wheels, but the outer lip is thinner (I assume as they don't require the strength) so they are very slightly narrower. The dish is a little deeper o...

Re: Motor Collection - Old School Horsepower

Picked this up as part of a bulk buy fairly recently - it was thrown in because it had jammed so was basically a freebie. All it had in it when i stripped it was a grub screw inside which had prevented it spinning. Label is pretty much perfect. It is a 13 turn Platinum II. What is pretty interesting...

Re: Motor Collection - Old School Horsepower

Another saved from the junk pile - this one is a pretty rare MG Power white label Magnum 16quad from early 1987. The can has a few marks but the label is good - they are usually silver labels. Typical Mick soldering and heavy lacquer! The uneven comm wear is explained by the cut brushes! Quite pleas...

Re: Motor Collection - Old School Horsepower

To go with the blue label Checkpoint I posted up the other day, here's a silver label 17turn.... i have only just opened this one and will now begin cleaning it up. 348362348_781291430258241_4017001201293826025_n.jpg 348362422_1260955174624530_1186247872637843938_n.jpg 348363451_1237314363824781_465...

Re: TAG Pro10 mag review car with options

So I got very lucky again and a guy on the IconicRC Fb page offered to send me a free but used original and super rare Pro10 body shell. As soon as it arrived I stripped the questionable stickers and 80’s-fied it! Really pleased with the final look! 645BFCCC-F2AF-4ABB-BC47-479041277DC8.jpeg B51506B4...

Re: TAG Pro10 mag review car with options

How come u don't enter botm anymore?...u have great/rare cars Dunno really. I find the one win a year rule puts me off a lot. I won in Jan a few years ago and not even being able to enter for the rest of the year was really quite depressing! I won’t be entering in the early months again. Plus I pro...

Re: TAG Pro10 mag review car with options

I haven’t fitted the attack angle kit yet. I was too excited about sourcing the original shell and getting the stickers right on that. It is on my list of things to do though!

Re: ** Build of the Month Contest - July 2023 ** - Winner - dinglem

Original 'Race Prep' AYK Radiant Mid conversion – one of the rarest cars in my collection I would think. They produced less than 50 of these 'Race Prep' conversions (according to Steve Dunn) before AYK approached them about making it an official kit, thus bringing about the Pro Radiant. The '87 Roms...
