  3. finally I can post something in this section, my first car is a 1980 1300cc MKII Escort. stupid me I washed the car and then forgot to take some pictures so the best I could do is one from the front and back as I had it up on axle stands in the garage. Also this is as I bought the car today so I have done no work on the car part from the rear drums.

      Thats the one my step dad had rs2000 with double head lights nose cone or something it looked mean for saying it was bright yellow lol. Yellow cage and yellow mesh everywhere including head rests sounded amazing and he thrashed it everywhere it was the 90s tho. Its not acceptable to drive dirty these days. Not even in country roads. After that he got a mk5 cortina crusader 2.2 pinto very special engine he said. While everyone else got dropped at school in mondeos or bmws I came in classic for...

      Early 2000s he started getting modern cars tho like mondeo st24 and like a fool got arrested for dd and still walks now. The court actually punished him by taking his licence and putting him in Stock car racing in Birmingham which he had to drive too?

      gota love a mk1 fiesta.

      escort is a nice car, the more I look at classic cars the more beautiful they are

  11. at least it is smooth unlike most of the crap roads around where I live
  12. I tried to test my TC4 speed car on a road similar to that and its impossible with the amount of power the cars and the width of the road also the quality of the road but I dont have any better places to test it so ROSSA will be the first official main test
  13. the blitz is alive I should have got the hobbywing ESC in the first place instead of that stupid turnigy one that set on fire

      lol I dont know I may go side pipes with an aluminium surround

  16. Also have updates got the styrene today for the rear section but made a bit of a cock up when ordering the angle section, by 2mm I thought that was the thickness but no it was the width so it is no good but ill just have to make my own from the 2mm board.
  17. yer I love them they look like the wheels my Dad had on his 65 ford mustang wish he never sold it . But it had to go so he could get anouther much rarer American icon car, the studebaker Avanti R2 which I love as well.
  18. more updates got some pics of the brackets that hold the cab onto the chassis and also I modded the rear sock tower to make it lower in preparation for the two 1/2" aluminium square tubes to mount the rear end of the truck onto once ive made it from styrene.
  19. Good news the cab came today and I have been hacking away at the underneath of it to make it fit but I made it in the end. Also got some 2mm styrene on order to recreat the rear section which should be fun and a challenge as ive never used the stuff before. Here are some pics of the progress so far.
  20. I hate waitng for post even when it may take a few days -_-

  21. it has got one way bearings in it like a bicycle so when its under power the wheels will turn but when the car is going and you little ft the power off effectively the car becomes a 2wd as the wheels just coast along with out and of the influence of the drivetrain. So say your pedaling up a hill on a bike the power from your legs is transferred to the wheel but when you go down the hill and just let the bike roll the pedals don't keep on turning as it has one way bearings in it. Hope that helped
