  1. Hi I am looking for a used undertray for my Bosscat project. Not worried about colour it's been painted as it's just for a runner. Also missing the bottom lexan belt cover. i am UK based. Thanks
  2. Very impressive results. At school (20+years ago) we had a small vac forming machine for making project boxes etc. Made a few scratch build RC bodies out of clay and vac formed them with good results for various cars. Also made a few spare shells by filling old shells with plaster of Paris and casting them. It was great fun and normally used coloured sheet to save time painting them. Great project write up, looking forward to seeing how the 850 shell comes out.
  3. Ok cool I wanted something similar for my sand scorcher, so that's perfect. Thanks
  4. That's a fantastic build, very clever. Where is the green paint from, I love it?
  5. Models in motion, Stevenage was a great shop. Sadly now gone.
  6. Nice little lathe. I like the calliper modification. Good luck with the sale.
  7. Hi Anyone in the UK got a hotshot or supershot runner that needs some tidying they want to sell me? Not too worried if it doesn't have a body, but ideally complete. Thanks Ross
  8. This it so far, I know it doesn't look anything special, but I am happy with it I have used stainless steel bolts throughout, new bearings and got a CRP shock conversion kit for it.
  9. The old plastic cap on the left and the new re-re on the right.
  10. Though I would love to keep it all original, I also want to use the car so am happy with a few modifications, upgrades and keeping costs realistic is my aim. I ordered some hex head balls as used in the re-re. From the description in the re-re instruction sheet of 5mm x 5mm I assumed the balls were therefore 5mm diameter and an m5 thread, hence my original post as the originals balls have an M 3 thread. Now that I have received them I can see they are an m3 thread and the measurements refer to ball diameter and thread length. So really all is well and I needed of not even started this thread.....
  11. Hi Dave The white plates are fine, I will just need to drill the holes out slightly in the swing arms to get them to fit. It's the balls that thread into the steering arms that's an issue, on my original they are smaller in diameter and have an M3 thread whereas the re-re replacements are M5. I think I have already answered my own question as measuring the steering arms tonight it will be very tight to get an M5 thread in there and not significantly weaken them. Thanks
  12. Hi I am currently rebuilding my original sand scorcher I had as a teenager. I have brought some replacement ball plates but didn't realise that the re-re uses larger balls than the original. Looking on eBay etc the re-re front uprights look a lot beefier than my originals. Is there enough meat in my originals to drill and tap to receive the larger hex head balls from the re-re? Also anyone know where I can get the hex head balls, part number 53968 from in the UK asap? I was hoping to take the sand scorcher away to Wales this coming weekend for some beach fun! Thanks
  13. Hi. A TC member has pm'ed me and I have got an original on its way. Thanks for the reply. Ross
  14. Hi I am missing the clear plastic motor cover from a Sand Scorcher I am restoring, I have the gear cover. Does anyone have one spare, I am in the UK? Thanks Ross
