My Fox is in the museum display I made here in Norway - there is a picture of it in the thread (http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=27601). Since it is still stuck in the display I will have to make a new one for the meeting. Even though I have the parts I know it will be big enough an effort to get it ready to roll.. So no pictures of the car I'm going to drive yet.

Yes, hopefully I´ll be able to attend.
How can You have parts enough to build another Hot Trick Fox I thought they were rare?
Was it You, I bought the belt converted Optima with the JG truck conversion from? - The one in the exhibit.

Hi again, sorry the reply totally fell out of my head...
I really enjoy some of the Hot Trick stuff, so part by part I've collected some stuff over the years. And I been fortunate not to sell my own Red Fox from the eighties.
No it wasn't me you bought the Optima from. SHY, a friend of mine, contributed with 17 of his cars for the exhibit, and the Optima was amongst them. The display was renewed and I took some cars out and put some new stuff in. So when SHY got back his Optima it found it's way to you - nice! Both SHY and I will come to Sweden in February. If you take a look at the thread here on the Nordic Vintage Challenge you will see he is going to drive all three classes.

Blue greenish paint - golden tape stripe is to cover a brilliant that lasted about 20 seconds - A fluorescent green stripe. This must be what they call a brainfart. Well, well the green gave a touch to the blue, so now it´s blue / greenish depending on the angle.

This turned out really well - nice and calm paint scheme.

Thanks LurkingCAT

It turned out okay, but I´ll never combine fluoro green and metallic blue again - EVER

Actually, I think that would be a great color combination...just not with red wheels.

It looks dull´n´daft - Trust me

Hi, does anyone know if you can get some replacement wheels for eco/maxima?
Regards

Original spare wheels for these cars shouldn´t be too hard to find - It didn´t take me more than 2-3 years to find mine

Kidding aside, Hot/Super Shot wheels can be used - if You can´t find anything else.

Thanks for the advice on the wheels. Anywhere where I can get hold of some decals just to finish off this project?
Regards

My own Mini Mustang project (soon to be in the BST..... ) will be decorated using some offcut repro decals I got from the Mini Mustang / Eco / Maxima sheet printed by Willy at http://pandagfx.com/... last time I talked to him, I think he was weighing up whether to make any more, due to costs and time limitations.... maybe give him a nudge through the website.

I may have some left after I'm finished..... will have to see!
