Ag100 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Yes, just fitted one of the Turbo shells, and it is good quality, broke a gurt wing this week though so orders a couple and have just added this new shell as well, always good to have a spare, and it seems as if there is a bit more room too.

It is cheap, but a little hike from the preceding ones. I've ran turbo bodies on all my EMBs but switched from gurt wings to whatever the LHS had cheapest for 1/10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ag100 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I have the original Truggy wing back on now, I think it’s Nylon, so a bit stronger. its white, can these be painted does anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coops Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 First link I think @Ag100 - they have 12mm hex suitable for LC Racing. Typical that i've converted SWB to LWB, would have left it if I had known that was coming out 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ag100 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Found this guy in the USA who makes a few option parts for the LC Cars, postage as always from the states is high, perhaps if there is enough interest in any of these parts we could contact him for a deal. I have ordered one of the Carbon Draglink, so will let you know how it goes https://www.etsy.com/shop/EACEngineering?campaign_label=proteus_transaction_guest_buyer_notification_v2&utm_source=transactional&utm_campaign=proteus_transaction_buyer_notification_010170_239793797795_0_0&utm_medium=email&utm_content=&email_sent=1593123939&euid=0sDdT-tr4ykEWXd4Etr7jZkMPIn8&eaid=867566196518&x_eaid=69d9360e97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I’m not on Facebook, but that’s good to hear, agreed on the postage, but you could Easily spend £25 on a night out, and on the basis I’m not going anywhere, I thought I would give it a go. always interested in any other parts for these, there does seem to be a bit more interest, just need to find a track near me where I can run it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true, I have spent on hop ups on all my mini's, I think if postage can be reduced he has some decent parts and the mini racing is having a resurgence it would seem, if you search for the micro racing uk forum it has stated back up, I can't post the link it is against this forums rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to cut quite a bit of front and back, more so the the Turbo body, but it fits really well, just using Velcro too, instead of the clips. Look forward to seeing what you come up with😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
