PB Mini Mustang restore
Posted: Mon Oct 21, 2013 9:23 am
Here is my restored Mini Mustang. It's not perfect, but as close as I'll get due to the rarity of the parts. I always wanted to get hold of another PB as the PB Eco Mustang was my first serious RC car. Back in the day it was fitted with Supershot Gold wheels, hence why these are fitted now.
I had some success when racing it (fitted with a Technigold and there wasn't anything quicker!) but then someone gave me a go of their Optima Mid, which felt like it was on rails compared to the PB! So, I was converted to Kyosho after that.
This one is fitted with a period Reedy Silver Dot motor (a peach in the late 80's). The car will go in my display cabinet (when built) The last picture has the car fitted with the Mustang Eco' shell, which is quite a nice looking shell I think.
Many thanks to Alex (aka Incredible_Serious) for the help with the shocks, cheers pal
