I spy with my little eye Option House shocks.

There's a lot of entries I'd like to vote for this month. I know the AYK has really nice bodywork, but I really think not showing the underbits is not doing it justice. Sure there's a link, but I would like to have had that view of it here. Hopefully it has an AYK motor under there. 😉 I did deliber...

Got a few motors that I've never seen before! I've heard of Light Speed but never seen these cans or end bells before. Interesting to see an aluminum end bell with a hold drilled in it? Anyone know much about them? These look very Checkpoint-ish to me. Certainly the aluminium endbells with the old,...

So this bad boy got sent off to motor guru Glyn Ward for a full strip and rebuild. He skimmed the comm for starters and checked the magnets. The magnets were spot on, and he told me he expected this to be the case as they are early sintered ferrite and obviously not the later wet magnet version. The...

Thanks everybody for the votes, all very much appreciated. Who said a chain drive 4wd car can't win anything?!

SUPER-BUMP !! :wink: You can thank Frankentruck with his recent Tomy engine pic post in “ what did you get in the post today “ Another crazy A$$ build big D !! Beauty ! 8) Thanks for your comment 8) This is one of my favourite builds i think - the red and black contrast really works well. I have fo...

Worlds prototype replica*

(*Minus all of the unique prototype parts)

I use a guy in the UK called Ian Mullaney. He is on Fb if you want to look him up. He has told me I am ok to pass on his details. He has rebuilt multiple esc’s for me including Demon, Novak, Tekin, Laser, CS, Marfet and Victor Engineering.

He’s the man.

Well another pair of unthreaded rear shocks turned up, so by some stroke of fortune I now have two complete sets of these

You always seem to find such cool and rare parts. I can always spot one of your builds because they all have a similar feel to them. I'm not sure what it is exactly, but they always seem to ooze with vintage goodness. Those beautiful aluminum wheels don't hurt either, lol. Cool shocks. Glad you got...

I have posted this info on the Brimod Prototype thread as somebody asked me the same question over on that thread a few years ago, but in summary:- From what i gather from my research (and memory from bitd), the Brimod shocks as we know them were around in late '86, with an earlier version without t...

Here we go - i knew i hadn't imagined it. Later in '89 it looks like they are for the 1/8 Kyosho Burns. There is clearly some sort of link up between Brimod and this new model shop as they seem to be advertising a lot of their products, and the 'Prostyle' name is being used for the shocks. I have ne...

I have a few items I would consider calling rare. Firstly, the Brimod prototype car. It's 1 of 1. 80676807_10159201759436258_566915977762045952_n.jpg The Pinkomo chassis set is certainly the only one I have ever seen, and the Concept Car 4wd RC10 is also one of only a couple I have seen. I have only...

Still going with this slow burner, but getting there! It is one I have to get absolutely right.

1986 Mardave Meteor I notice there has only ever been one Meteor entered into BOTM, and that was by DerbyDan in 2016 (getting the win). This was my first official race car, bought in very early 1987 for indoor carpet racing at Perry Common Buggy Club, UK. This was touted as a budget racer (£49.99) t...
