Almost done...




Hope they bring out the bruiser next for a re-issue

-
you need to turn around the screws related to the rear leaf springs and leaf ends. having the nuts on the inside will create problems when you go to take the bottom servo cover on and off.
Thanks for the tip...
More progress


-
Got a few more stuff done to the truck.




If you see anything wrong with the assembly please let me know....
-
Started assembly on the bruiser today.....

Nice work... -

Anybody can have some time to spare to trace me the roof & sides of the blazer. I would like to make one for my blazer..
I would like to restore the Blazer to it glory. :-)
Any help would be appreciated..

Anybody have some spares? Blazing blazer roof & roll bar.
If not can somebody trace the outline on a paper so i can make one.. My blazer looks different without the roof...
-
Also, if you have the D and C parts trees for the Astute, please let me know. If I can afford it, I'd be happy to have it running for myself again.

Nice Vintage pics... Anymore?

I am in the process of making the following hop-up in an affordable price for you:
Alloy wheel cover set for Rough Rider. First production run will have 2 styles in silver, blue or gold colour to choose from. Price around US$35-40/set
Do you have any other colour suggestion? Red? Black?
Repro Thorp diff. It will be an exact replica except using metric screws and diff ball. Price around US$60-70/set
It is in the final stage and should be available in 2-3 weeks.

Alloy wheel cover for the Sand scorcher and Ford Range will be my next project.

I would be interested in a set or two when they come out...

Avante original chassis plates, Egress etc simplied K parts (in place of ball ends), Egress rear wheels, Avante 2001 shocks.
Bit of a mixed bag really.
Thanks for the ideas everyone.. Is it possible to make this into an egress? Would love to have one of those..
What would be needed to make it into an egress?
Is there a list i could find to help me on it?
By the way this one comes with body & avante wheels on it too. Forgot to take a photo of it.
-
Close, looks to BE a avante 2001, but with the top and bottom middle chassis pieces from an original avante.
Whats the value of this one if its like this?
-
Can anybody help id this buggy. Looks like an avante? But it has different parts?





-
My twin avante complete with technigold motor on it....

-
I have a shared bedroom for my tamiya models.. Not much space to work on it at the moment. Hopefully to get a shed to keep all the stuff & a workbench too.. Right now i have to fix the rc's on the floor....

Installed dual wheels on my Blackfoot


-
Project Blackfoot. Took everything apart to make this into a runner. Test fitting the wheels right now..



-
Took the Avante for some rounds... Fun fun.. Just had to be careful not to smash it to the wall...

-
i wonder how he got the rear so wide?
The rear axles was extended too. Custom work i believe ..
-
Anyone has wheels & tires for a porsche 956 Rear tires cracked while having fun with it a while ago. Is there any replacement wheels for it?
Any recommendations?
