My damn computer keeps double posting.

Hi I thinks you have a nice car, I thinks she participated at the world champs in 93 in UK,
drive by an official US MIP driver, the front parts are prototype...

Holy Crap! I think that is the car! I found some IFMAR stuff in the lot with the name Thomas Hightower. Can you find that name somewhere in the article? I have a Yokomo YZ10 Pavidis addition that I believe was raced at the the 97' Worlds at Ranch Pit Shop as well! Thanks for posting that, it is so cool! And PRP, I believe you had asked me to scan some Jammin Jay stuff I had. I recently found it and will scan it for you. Sorry I did not get back sooner!

[Vintagemishal]

Also, PRP, could you translate that article? That would be really appreciated!

[Vintagemishal]

Well, this may have to end up being a 100% accurate restoration now! I am excited to say the least!

Translation article, I make my best:

The 2wd class is the king class in USA, no 4wd manufacturer in US, only MIP who's start from 2WD car.
Eustace MOORE present me is last 4WD product kit call LEGEND 4x4 kit.
The result is a stable car on jump, but low traction in end corner, normal without diff in front only a slipper and one way.
Front arms, Knuckles are prototype parts and Losi Hydradrive used.
Ron ROSSETTI don't want to run with an other brand 4wd car, like Jack Johnson Kyosho Lazer and Jay Halsey CAT 2000,
built a car with PRO SE and XX parts, with 4x4 MIP transmission parts, rumor controversi, LOSI don't want to built a 4wd car for now...

This project has just gone from... "why hack up a purple chassis" to "Holy cow, how cool is that"... all due to a bit of history

excellent article pierre. very cool addition to the car. i would ask eustace about the prototype parts used for this car. the car has some very cool racing pedigree.

[Vintagemishal]

I emailed Eustace last night. Hopefully he can shed some light!

PRP, thank you for the translation!

[Vintagemishal]

It has been confirmed! This just in from Eustace himself!!! I asked if he knew Thomas Hightower which is a name I ran across in my parts!

Yes. Tom was a close team guy back then. You have found a chassis with the last prototype parts I made before we stopped production!! To be “doubly” sure; I need to see closer shots of the front spindles and carriers.



Thanks,

Eustace

Wow, this just got really interesting!

Wow, this just got really interesting!

For sure! I was going to ask about swapping in a new chassis because of that huge cutout in the rear by the motor, but I guess that's not an option now since it has to stay as original as possible!

[Vintagemishal]

Here is double confirmation!! Wow! I am so excited! Needless to say, this is staying as close to original as possible!

Yes. These are the one off custom handmade spindles and carries I made. They never became production. Great find.



Take care,





Eustace
