TonTon Land, vintage meeting (Japan 27 april 2008)

[Snake Plissken]

Great pics from what looks like a great meeting. Those Japanese meeting pics always leave me astonished at the level of creativity of both the engineering and the paint schemes -not a single box art but all paint jobs look amazing!

what is the body on the #10 buggy pic?

Funco two seater is almost correct but it's SS2A Desert racer, a modified version of Funco TS.

im keen on one of those losi shirts and rps hats

On that day, my theme was RPS. The hat is my home made repro but the shirt is original.

Does anyone have original RPS hat? I really want it.

Thanks for the reply ED, I think I've got a pair of those arms I'll see if I can find some of those Pro-X rear arms to move the rear wheels back, I never really liked how far behind the rear wheels the motor is...Thanks again!

Carefull there: you need the front arms of the pro-x, not the rears
The under-the-hood shot from Aku is better than the one I took this weekend, but here's a nice picture of his scorcher in the winners-circle:

Oh really, I would have never thought of trying to put front arms on the rear. Interesting

These arms are longer than the stock ones too: so you need ifferent hubs, or axles and wheels with less offset.

the combination I have on now is a llittle too wide, but I have some other things in mind with contemporary parts that are easy to find. I'll post it if it works out.

If it's not too much to ask, could you email me a bunch of pics of what you have that works currently and what you are thinking of mocking up now? I'm having a hard time visualizing how it all goes together. My email is: [email protected]. One thing about my Ultima, I think I've got Triumph front arms on it because the Andy's arms I have are about 6-7mm shorter than the other arms. I've got the old school rear arms with heim joints in the rear with the old blocky-looking hubs. It looks kind of funky and I've never broken it. I haven't run it in almost 10 years now Poor little guy \

Thanks Mr. ED!
