Found 3 of the 5 on the box so far clear body for the sprint thanks to bigjeepzz....and clear body for the funny car is coming thanks to farmer pointing me to the auction



The stock car is brand new, dragster and sprint have barely a mark on them.

love those parma motors, especially the orange label

Honestly I don't even know the specs on them, just that I wanted to keep them all parma:-) I don't remember liking the cyclone motors bitd

Whoa, nice set of cars there. I now see what the body was needed for. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Bodies are always the hardest part for me. So hard to find a good survivor. When I do find them, sometimes they are more than the entire car- like the funnycar body I have coming.

Updated group photo with new funny car body a d sprint car body mounted

very cool

did u get that drag chassis from the auction also?
farmer

No, the drag chassis is the one from a previous win a while back. This clear body had a homemade plexiglass chassis that was junk. Tires were homemade from airplane tires. Really it ended up being just the body, but still worth it.

Oh yeah....shoot me your address and I will send you the bird dog

Great day on craigslist today! Found a Panther 12 and a Pro Panther from a local racer. Pretty much how they were retired in the late 80's. I had an Oscella body from another member, now I'm down to just needing the street rod to finish out the 1/10 Pro Panther collection

Get me some rough dimensions on the sprint front wing and ill get you some alum. I should have enough of the perfect stuff laying around to make a few.

I didn't realize I hadn't updated the pics of the sprinter- I have a front wing now! Thanks for the offer tho! I am looking for a stock Parma top wing but I have an associated wing for it currently

a friend ( Kjell ) in the club ran that pro 12 those are very light we all others ran rc12l/lw and corally...

anyway we gathered up and went to swedish nationals the car ran fine but he was strugelling with radio interfireance

so patrik sugested that he should borrow all his stuff and put in the car since he had no problem with radio interfirence so hi did and won his final ...

all good all fine almost since it was a job in heist he forgot to check the weight of the car and after inspection it was to light so he was disqualified.

it turned to be like this ,since the car was so light Kjell didnt bother to get the lightest radio gear but Patrik had since his car was so heavy.

Back then we ran 6 cells and minimum weight was 880 gram.

must have been around -92/93
