I wonder whether these are Parma also then? I also note from the Optima instruction picture in your packet that the plates are both located on the inside of the wheel, and not one on the outside as shown in the sales picture I posted. That would make a bit more sense! Maybe take a look in the BST, ...

Sure hope my tickets arrive in the mail soon......

Now that's something I would not have expected..... good to see you playing with something different, mate! I've built up a few of these; my first is a SWB version (208mm) which runs my Skoda WRC body (originally a Jimny kit): Skoda.jpg The second I built up from old M-chassis parts and the necessar...

That's like a sausage roll, right?

Any chance you could send me over a Storm manual please?
Very much appreciated.

On the way, mate....

Hi mate, good to see your projects posted here. Looking at what you've shown, this is what I'd guess: Car 1: Probably began as an original Cougar, judging by the rear bulkhead and possibly the rear hubs (very hard to see if it has the old Cat-style rear hubs, or the later Shotgun hubs the second one...

One of my favourites..... this floats in and out of my head almost weekly.

Great work Thumbsteropolous!

Something to brighten everybody's day.... almost 9 minutes of instrumental brilliance.

Could I trouble you for the Cougar 2 as well?

That's gotta be a euphemism, right?

Looks to me like a HPI RS4 Sport or (more likely) RS4 Rally - hard to tell exactly, but the Rally had longer shocks, and no 'wings' on the chassis. Manual is easy enough to find (Oldrc.com has it at http://oldrc.com/HPIFiles/RS4Rally.pdf ). Batteries were stick or side by side pack, held in across t...

A random bump that never hurts??? Surely you're not hitting yourself hard enough!



Jealous as hell of that space, I can tell you..... although probably needs more beer fridge and cow bell....

I don't want to be that guy, but here, let me be that guy.....
