  4. Build a better detailed donkey from plasticard for less than a fiver . Way over priced an under detailed, the air cleaner could have had a foam & mesh sleeve at least .
  5. They are worth it 10 years old or not as long as there not bent being alloy. You work out a set of plastic rims with tyres are
  6. Blast from the past these are. They was the scale wheels to have on f350 hilux cc01 an scale built rigs. They come with +0 +5 +10 offset adapters when new , yours look to have the 10 set. Top cad made them 1st from what I remember then integy ripped um off but it was prob same company under two brands as tax fiddle. They came in green / silver / black . You can get a copy still called 8 holes from overseas. Not seen as many sets for sale as was back in the day. As more company's about now selling scale rims. Good easy 10yrs I bet these came out.
  7. Check the pin/ or ball hasn't broke off the end of the drive shaft in the cup or pin has fell out. If it's broken the end of the shaft & you still have it get it tig welded it be stronger than stock then I had one break there from new. Never killed a diff like some have .
  8. Hi bud if it the shells from retro racing in Finland I'm sure you need a special paint as some lexan paint makes them brittle an they break so easy. Do a google search I'm sure I've read on tc yr or so ago about them. They have been re done now an come pre painted in rothmans livery done by rally legends .
  9. Hpi rs4 clone was they not done by hsp? edit google pic search hsp nitro car Deffo one
  10. Maybe worth asking on iconic rc see if jweston & crew will go in on it as they do a lot of vintage meets/ racing at clumber / snetterton .
  11. They do come up f/s from time to time. I know terry sc on tamiyaclub years ago got frewer to remake some I think it has to be in batches of 10 for it worth there time maybe contact them ? An dale on another site got them to redo the range rover last year again batch of 10 orders . Good luck I can remember racing mine on my super shot back in the day.

  15. Kinda strange front looks bit like an e type jag middle looks ka ish an rear a vw toureg ,
  16. The hsn should have a little o ring seal remove the screw an check it has one, I've never known a nitro to leak fuel from there unless it's missing the seal or it's split . You only need a bit of sealer round the carb not near the base just keep it away from lower part of carb save any going in the bottom end crack case. Same when sealing the back plate, just make sure when removing the back plate the piston s a tdc some pistons sit in the back plate slot so it will break the lower part of the piston if it's that set up on your engine. I know hpi did this on there 25 I think it was. You can also put a bit of sealer on the carb cotter pin ie it's the pin that holds cab to crank case. I've never sealed the hsn or Lsn just made sure there clean. After all you will need to adjust them so usually the seal will break as you adjust them but it's each to there own. Only used blue as that's all I used & had in my top box but I'm talking around 8 yrs ago lol.
  17. Tamiya ......lunchbox / pumpkin / king Blackfoot super Blackfoot . Hornet grass hopper most can be brought for half or just over half your budget used off eBay. Maverick do a few cheap new rtr short course truck or mt try modelsportuk web see what rtr deals they have on . If no joy try eBay buy it now deals. Used or new .
  18. Only place I've ever sealed a nitro engine is alittle on carb an on engine back plate, never on the head or exh header. & I used the blue stuff.
  19. Any local body shops near you? It's a shell worth getting done in 1.1 paint. Why not have a good YouTube watch at spraying & have a go yourself using a pop bottle before you do the shell then do all the little body bits before the main cab, it's not that hard just take your time . You can use halfords paint or get the paint mixed & then put into cans from most good auto paint shops.
  20. You Need price & pics dude else it will get removed . An put your name on paper in pics also where you are located so folk know
  21. Rc racing uk are abc stockist they have a Facebook page to from memory.
  22. . Bud you want normal tamiya body mounts with a hole & screw in the centre like some touring cars they last as not abs plastic like stock pumpkin ones. Alloy with just break the body or chassis on impacts where plastic is softer so allows that bit of flex. An if body mounts go out of shape you just put them in boiling hot water & they go straight again, regards the bottom shock is it the eyelet got slop or the shock spring itself if shock spring you get shock spacers it stops the movement . If it's the lower eyelet just make a tube spacer or washer depends what way it is.
  23. Google toolstation bud I put a post on here few mth back about boot type bags that good size for buggys etc
  24. Dave m chassis ? Abc hobbies made them 1600 gt coupe
  25. Glad you nearly there bud , if it won't program he could have burnt a fret out for reverse just make sure the motor is ok for the esc not more than it can handle . He could have run a lipo battery on it to as they are lipo compatible .
