Brooklyn Nights

is that the plastic-tubbed 'sport' chassis? Well its a plastic tub chassis but I have no clue as to if its a sport one! Cheers

Hi, I bought a Volvo 850 bodyshell on ebay but there is no drivers side door mirror! (assuming the car is a right hand drive here ) So... if you have one or the parts to make one up please let me know! Will gladly buy pair plus spoiler if needed. Prefer UK for postage costs. Cheers Richy Guess I'm going to be out of luck here huh? Well lets hope I can get my money back of the ebay seller who stiffed me and buy a new whole volvo 850 btcc bodyshell for £79 exc p and p! Still if anyone can help please get in touch. As these are impossible to buy being so rare, I have bought a nib Tamiya Volvo 850 BTCC shell. Thanks to all those who tried to help me out. Cheers Rich

Hi Just got hold of a Kyosho Alpha Lazer TT and need some info please! Dont normally buy/run Kyosho cars so any info would be great. Its a runner but needs 3 body mounts and the shell is very tatty too and could do with new tyres all round also. I paid £40 for it with radio gear. Too much? Is it worth doing up, keeping, selling or what? Really have no idea with these! Cheers

Ok I now have a Clod. Thanks To all who replied. Cheers

Well I`ve looked all over so I guess this project is on hold for now... Thanks for your help though!

Well speaking for myself I saw both in Beaties when I was a kid and instantly wanted the LB and fell in love with it! It just looked more fun on the box! lol Cheers

Teah I know! Really hard to find. The tamiya-asia ones are the right ones but not sure what it will cost in postage etc. Has anyone used them before? Cheers

Unfortunatly those are the 6 spoke gt4 monte carlo ones so no good. I`m after the disc type with slots at the edges. See here: http://www.tamiyaclub.com/car.asp?id=96 Cheers

Hi I am looking for a set of wheels for a 58096: Toyota Celica GT-Four Rally car. Anyone know where I can find some or a very close match?? Have tried ebay with no luck. I am in the UK by the way. Cheers

Do you have any pics of the Chevy decals? I cant say I`ve ever seen these. My old clod had the Chevy bowtie grill and tailgate details when I bought her new the frst time around but the decals were just standard and had no Chevy decals at all. Were the Chevy decals removed before the bowtie grill and tailgate details or at the same time?? Cheers Well I think I do remember the chevy bit on the side stickers now having looked at the ones that are currently for sale on ebay. Heres the pic off there: But the price their asking is wayyy too much for me!

Hmm thats a tad pricey... Seen the orginal Chevy Clods go for arond the £120 mark on the bay... Will keep it in mind but if you sell her before then no probs

Oh dont get me wrong here I loved my old Clod I had whenI was younger...I just wished it was a bit more tougher and didn`t break quite so often thats all. lol

Hi, I`m after a Clod! Would really like an original and not a Super, but anything considered even a resto project. Can pay with paypal. Cheers

So its just colour and decals thats different? Shame. If they had gone some way to address the flaws of the original clod I may have bought one. But the poor steering, motor mounts that always break, poor off road ability, poor suspension, non exsitant climbing ability, and poor run time etc all let the clod down saddly. Looks great but thats about it.

Is there any size difference or any other for that matter, with the super clod??

Something like this: No matter how well intentioned do not post links to ebay items you may find (except your own of course) why that auction is live http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=21101 Cheers

'You need one that controls 2 motors. I've seen one on ebay.co.uk about 3 days ago.

Ok I have been watching this 320484569511 on "the bay" now for a few days and I'm REALLY tempted but my question is whats it worth? I already have a Gr.B but this shell is better than mine and if I bought it I would get a replica 959 body for the spare chassis and have the set. Any opinions would be great! Cheers

Forgive me if I dont fully understand but why does it matter what colour the shell is? Is there any difference other than colour??? Cheers

I was thinking of using an old front grill and cutting the bulb holders out. then mounting it on the inside rear where the lights are, cutting the square out and trying to find something "lens like" to fit in the light square. Not sure how easy this will be though.

I'm about to start my LB project once the last two items I bought arrive (50520 cva dampers and the 50320 light kit). I've gone for the Dirt Tuned motor just for a little bit more then the standard silver can. Correct me if I'm wrong anybody but It has a tad less speed than the Speed Tuned motor @17,000 but a little more torque and I'm happy with that as I know the standard silver can is 14.000 and my original LB was hard to control at that! lol. Plus Im not going to use her a great deal more for show and the odd run! Can't wait to get started now! Cheers

Thanks I've got some! Incidently has anyone tried putting red lights on the rear of LB? the light up ones I mean along with the fronts? is this possible? Cheers

Ah thanks as I was unsure about this. Any ideas where I can get the 50320s from in the UK? Cheers

I bought some tamiya 50520 cva short shocks at fusion hobbies. cost me £50+ though! Now I just need to work out which light will work with the TEU101esc (see my other thread in monster tucks) Cheers
