Got the crankcase all cleaned up which came out pretty good, much better then before. Just need to get a new rear bearing and we can start putting it back together again.

Here is where all the violence happens.

Oops


All fixed with new fuel tube

Luckily it's pretty easy to fix, some are a real PITA.

But yeah, every time you hear the spring noise a new curse word is created

Well, I had one of the original Nissan GTP bodies in my cart on ebay for a few days and put off buying it for whatever reason worried about possible Tude? No. :lol: I just wasn't 100% sold it was what I wanted. It seems a bit oversized. I'd rather have something with a tighter fit honestly... Certa...

Like someone else said while I'm not a fan of the FF concept itself the craftsmanship and execution of this build is fantastic.

Truing tires is a messy process, the foam dust gets everywhere. More time is spent cleaning it up then the actual process.


Bye bye old decrepit donut.....


And there you have it, one nice new donut.

Those are strange looking grips, lol.


Nothing like a double pink donut for your wheel

Probably the best out of those brands would be Tenth Technology, they made some pretty unique cars which would be the most collectable of the group in my opinion.... Although, in saying that I wouldn't exactly call Tenth Technology a newish brand either, lol

Ahem..... I thought you didn't have shelfers

I built a "race" bandit a while ago but I don’t think I ever gave it a real workout. I think the key components to make a Bandit (or any car for that matter) fast are... Tires Shocks Diff Then things like adjustable turnbuckles and plate towers etc..And with the possibilities of more perfo...

Yeah, hard to call something a flop when you only make a limited number of something and it sells out, but you fail to make more when the demand is clearly still there.

Modern-ish tires have webbing in bead area where the 3 piece rim clamps the bead, thus they don't work.

You can reuse your glued wheels by putting them in an ice cream container with 1/2" of acetone. If the tires are shot but the insets are good cut them out first.

Looking good

I still kick myself every time I see a Le Mans as my local hobby shop owner said he'd give me a good deal on Le Mans motors. He had stacks and stacks left over but I failed to take any as I was a Reedy guy.

If only I could go back in time

Cool score.

You lucky devil you
