  1. Neo scorcher? what are these like? Well ive been looking at manta ray, scorcher and a few of the RWD buggies too,
  2. Well i dont really want to spend huge amounts, and wiht having a road car and truck i thought buggy may be the best inbetween. which cars would have these chassis?
  3. Im new to this and having picked up an bush devil and porsche taisan to restore im after something i can have abit more fun with, without worrying of breaking them!! What would you recommend for general usage? it would be on road and dirt so instantly i would presume a Buggy, throw me some ideas guys!! Ste
  4. I picked up an original taisan porsche on ebay for £35, safe to say he didnt know what he was selling,
  5. Brake fluid is easily picked up, i shall have a go with that!!
  6. acetone too strong for the plastic? Ill have a look around for that
  7. and whats the best way to remove the paint? in order to repaint? Acetone and Polyethylene Glycol come to mind, but im not sure what is actually used on models? any ether based liquid will take the paint off, but obviously dont want to damage the plastic,

Got all the breaks in
  9. How did you go about fixing the shell? Any tips? and very true, i would like to try and keep it as a restored runner and swap over to a used shell when i do use it and swap it back when i shelf it.
  10. yer its an all original model, i was more saying part that i could run instead of original parts, or would it be better waiting for the rerelease parts? In regards to the shell, is it possible to restore it?
  11. thanks guys!! if i was to use the GT2 starcard, would it be worth buying useable parts for it? and keeping the originals separate? I think i got a bargain buying it, so i have some cash to spend on it!
  12. I agree!!! Where is the best place to source parts form?/
  13. http://i.imgur.com/N64YUEAl.jpg thats how the car sits...
  14. I dont have any pictures of the BD, but i have seen that part being particularly hard to find. I may be able to sweet talk a CAD?CAM aluminium milling machine to creat a thinner solid piece. or at least some strengthening pieces. I do have some of the porsche but they are too big to post... the read body mounts have been cut but are there supposed to be clips under and over the shell? or just over?
  15. Hey guys!! Im new to this so i was wondering if i could get some help!! Firstly I got given an vintage Bush devil to fix so i thought id make it a 2 car show! I picked up a vintage taisan 911 porsche and am looking to fix up both and restore them! Firstly they are both in pretty good condition with id say 99% of the parts intact, with a good clean up and slight improvement they will be as good as new!! Shall start with the Porsche. -recieved it today and can see the back of the body is rubbing the wheel, it seems to be sitting very low but i cant seem to see why? the body is in alright condition, the front sits well on the frame, its just the back. -I presume it hasnt been run in a long time so need to clean it up, Id be willing to restore the parts but need a supplier in the uk, anyone used any good ones before? -Id like to restore the shell, it looks original but has cracks and scratches as was expected, is it even possible? Now on to the bush devil -This is in better condition than the Porsche, with only one fault, the front tracking arm has snapped off the support as it was only plastic (and very thing to be holding the support arm), so will need a need a new part with either stronger plastic or a metal support. any ideas if any one has done this or knows where to source? I have all the original tech on both, so will need a new battery no doubt, but i would like to keep them fairly original, or if i could swap out parts for running them and still have all original parts for swapping back in when i display them. if you have any ideas let me know!!
