chewbacca Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I was thinking of that but nearly passed out just thinking about a 1/5 Big Bertha! Had to put HSR then! Would have to be in Gerry Marshall livery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Of all of those, its obviously chassis-set-up-dependent but we all know the Baja's very tail happy, so the late entry wins it for me - orange Charger R/T - for now. ..... Mk.II Essie's always got a place. How about a WRC / Dakar Mini ..... nah, they look crap!! Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autobutcher Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Would have to be in Gerry Marshall livery Of course! Still got one of the signed posters that I won from Retro Car mag many years ago, only 5 were ever made, still in the postage tube as the mrs wouldn't let me put it up (twss block!). Might be worth a bit now, help towards a new rc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeylcfc Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 A Stratos would look sensational, but they would have to pull it off very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Stratos has probably got the right W/B and track, so there would be little allowance for the RC as there usually is ... Al. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Sold, the castle conversion kit will bolt straight in. Pity about the c clips on the hingepins, set of irc pins sorts that out nicely. Reckon two hours tops to convert Release date please, hpi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodgemonkey Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 There's been some mk1 escort shells made for the Baja, can't help thinking this shell in matte black and a big dummy supercharger sticking out the hood wheelieing down the road would look awesome. Something like this... Preferably with a Conley V8 in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 ESS one sound box in a nice, amplification box, v8 sound track, job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Gadget Show special you mean. It's Largescale - 2-stroke all the way! Conley V8's a bit on the large side - 100 cc if I remember, but would be very nice. Just needs a split exhaust out of the back. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) I've been thinking about this and I can see it working quite well. My Baja flux is actually quite good on road, more planted than you'd expect. What it really needs to make it perform better is front brakes, then it would go AND stop quickly! So one of these with a set of Mechatech hydraulic discs could be tuned to perform very well. (Can't remember how you spell "Mechatech") Come on Noj, Crack on! Hydro brakes, 520kv and 10+S via an Alien ESC! (But turn off reverse!) Edited February 1, 2015 by Tug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 It'll be a 2028/xl2 to begin with...16/57 and 7/8s, depending on running arena. The chances of new bits being fitted as time progresses is high, because it is the law Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yes, but the first upgrade is always to go BL. So there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
