Peakey29 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 So this was in the garage and I thought i better start on it I've been collecting parts for this for over a year and I'm just waiting on a couple of parts to finish it off. New alloy motormount with belt tensioner New TCS Building from a stack of parts and another car takes so much longer but I think is more satisfying I think Gonna use the ballraced steering I got a while ago on this I just need to de anodise it I think to go with the mount. Rear shock tower support added with a mod stole from Mr Wooster (great idea as always Dan) So that's as far as I can go till the rest of my bits show up and I can't wait to get it finished and on the track.

Peakey29 Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 Progress has been a little on the slow side but it's now taking shape, I wasn't liking the colour of the steering so that was first. It's great what a bit of oven cleaner can do So now it's starting to come together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peakey29 Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 So after getting my parts from Fiberlitye I could carry on there a great match over the originals These are the FL front towers that until they arrived I didn't notice they were wrong, but luckily I had a couple of spares. Now coming to get her nicely Now I found my turnbuckles I can finish it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peakey29 Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 Couldn't resist a photo opp of them both (yes I have 2 the other is a new built one) together with the Rory Cull shell that will end up on it, wether it gets run I'm yet to decide There's still a little to finish off but I'm hoping to have it running soon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peakey29 Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 Thanks guys appreciate it I think I've settled on the wheels, well until I find some pink ribbed rear wheels if anyone's got some spare? Body trimmed and just sat till I get an undertray, What do you think? Just got to sort a wing out and waiting for some electrics for it:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peakey29 Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 I saw a guy in the US do this to a high downforce AE wing so I thought I would have a go, it's not the best but for a first attempt I'm more than happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peakey29 Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 This has been a bit of a PITA to wire up but I think I've got it sorted now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peakey29 Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 Thanks buddy, I was collecting parts for this for about 18 months and managed to get the chassis when I bought my other WCS. ill give you a little background on the model for the people that don't know about them. the 93WCS was a transition car from the works 93 to the 94 and the move away from the graphite chassis to the carbon ones and plastic bulkheads. I'll post up a thread about my other one when I get a min and will give a full rundown of the differences. This is the model that was run and won by Yokomo and Masami at the 93 worlds in Basildon, Yokomo arrived with 50 prototype cars of this model and after the win a production run was made of about 500 kits. The numbers were low (I don't think there was an official number) as the kits were expensive at the time so people waited for the 94 kit to be released.

Peakey29 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Nothing wrong with pink wheels ? The original Yokes came with pink wheels buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetoR Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Really? I never knew that. Ahh well, each to their own. Personally, I would have gone for white wheels on that buggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
