Hi Guys, Just to let you know I have nearly £50 worth of Hop Ups, all NIP, starting at only £20. Cheers Dougan http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...AMESE%3AIT&rd=1

Hi Guys, Have just finished a Super Sabre body set, this is the first one in over 20 years. Has anybody got any tips on positioning the decals in the correct place, a couple of mine don't seem to line up correctly. I got the Super Sabre to go on to my Boomerang chassis, Its like having two different cars, but much cheaper! Cheers Dougan

Hi, Has anybody got a pair of rear wheels for the Boomerang/Hotshot they would like to sell. I am in the UK and can pay via Paypal. Cheers Dougan

Hi guys, Has anyone got the following items for sale, so I can at last finish my Boomerang. Set of front ball plates-part no 4305121 Ball connector bag-Part no 9405242 I am in the UK and can pay via Paypal. Cheers Dougan

Hi guys, Thanks to everyone who has replied, its nice to know that I can depend on the forum fo advice. This is my first restoration, and may well be my last! I have spent a small fortune on new parts and still I have to find more parts to finish it. Going back to the front suspension rubbing the wheels. I already have the 4 new front wishbones, at great expense! Now it seems I need new ball joints and everything else associated with it. Please could someone tell me exactly what I need to cure this problem. part numbers etc, and which cars use the same front suspension parts. Thanks again, Dougan

Hi Mike, I stripped and lubed the gearbox as part of the rebuild, and also stipped it again to double check. Every thing looks ok, but this is all new to me, first rebuild and that. The diff looks ok, all gears and cogs look pretty wear free, but I wouldn't know the difference between a good and worn one! Dougan quote: Originally posted by Twmaster I would disassemble the front diff and make sure you don't have a damaged or severely worn diff. While apart it would also be a great time to clean and relube the gears. id="quote">id="quote">

Hi Screwbag, Many thanks for the information, much appreciated. Sorry I can't help you with the drive gear. Cheers Dougan quote: Originally posted by screwbag that lower arm should not be hitting the rim. when I got my boomer the lower arm was almost worn through from hitting the rim, so I replaced the arms and everything is fine. This rubbing is almost surely caused by worn out front end parts, or the front rim is warped. your gears sound fine to me. While I have your attention do you happen to have a spare drive gear for that car? I stripped mine a couple of weeks ago and can't find a replacement.thanks hope this info helps. id="quote">id="quote">

Hi Guys, Me again! I have finally put power to the Boomerang and yet again another snag. The right side wheel (looking head on) does not rotate very well. I have noticed that the bottom suspension arm rests against the inside of the wheel rim, is this normal? When I move the arm away from the rim it turns ok, but as soon as it rubs against it, it stops. I wouldn't think that the slight rubbing would have been enough to stop it turning. When I rotate the other front wheel by hand, the drive shaft turns the back wheels. When I do the same to the suspect wheel, the drive shaft does not turn, only the other front wheel. Could this be a diff. problem? I stripped the gearbox and everything looked ok, but I am no expert!

Thanks guys for all the information.[^] I have done what you have suggested and it is much improved.[] Cheers dougan quote: Originally posted by Dougan Hi guys, Sorry if this seems a stupid question, I am rebuilding a Boomerang and have noticed that when I push the front of car down, the front wheels spread eagle outwards at a alarming angle. Surely the front wheels should remain straight when the front suspension is working. I have stripped it down and rebuilt it again, but it is exactly the same. Any thoughts on this would be most helpful. Cheers Dougan id="quote">id="quote">

Hi Mike, Many thanks for letting me know! If you do come across a arm set, let me know. Cheers Dougie quote:Originally posted by TwmasterNo the arms are not the same. I would hate for you to buy my arm set and they not work! [] id="quote">id="quote">

Hi, Is the Bigwig front suspension arms compatible with the Boomerang, they look similar. A ebay auction finishes in a few hours, so a quick reply would be appreciated. Cheers Dougan

Thanks for the info guys. I have purchased the screw pins, because I really only need the longest ones. Thanks again, Dougan

Hi, Would the screw pin bag for the Boomerang be the same as the one for the Hotshot? I know the numbers are different but the screw pins look very similar. I want to make sure because there is a set on ebay for the Hotshot, so I won't bid for them if they don't fit the Boomerang. Cheers Dougan
