I’ve been collecting parts for my ultimate PB9 International build build for 2.5yrs now and I’m about 90% there I only need a servo, a battery holder and to find some suitable material to make new bumpers from.
It’s an UK made car but parts have been sourced from as far as Oz which is quite fun plus enough time has passed for me to forget how much money I’ve spent so by the time I actually put it together it’ll be like it’s free :D

Not sure what's worse.... this back-from-the-dead thread that's over 8 years old, or the fact that I said back in 2013:
"I started my Schumacher Daytona thread on here almost five years ago...... long after I started actually collecting bits for it..... .and it's STILL not complete yet."

Um..... it's still Still STILL not complete, yet.... but there is more parts!!!!

Loving all the Lazarus posts.... it's like I'm posting on the forums, without actually having to do so! ;)

Funnily enough I got a DM on an rc forum yesterday referring to a post I made in 2010 but I forgot to be offended & just answered him. ..and yes get your bloody Daytona sorted out it’s embarrassing.

That's what you get when you start a project others are interested in seeing.
