What cars do you all drive?

[What cars do you all drive?]

hi , i think i posted in here a fair while back , but carnt remember when .. so , as i have just bought a 3rd car i better put up some pics ' or it never happened '' ..lol this is why i haven't done much on the rc car front recently ..

heres old faithfull , an 1989 vn v6 fitted with a powerdyne supercharger running 10 lb boost ..

next is my 1990 vn calais , 5lt v8 running big cam and head work ,bought it caused i misse the rumble of a v8 .

and my newist addition is a 1968 australian built pontiac 4 door, pillarless parisienne running a 327 ci chev motor and 2 speed powerglide auto .. amazing thing is she has had only 2 owners , the bloke that bought her new in 68 and that son the inherated it in 97 when the old fella died .. its only ever had one registed owner

..

[Anyone parting out a TL-01 ?]

got heaps of bits but ......i ...........am .......a......................long way away away ..

[How did you come up with your user name?]

yeah ! the old 50's and 60's fobia of '' better dead than red '' is still alive and kicking in the good ol' usa ..

[Marui Samurai buggy]

looks just like mine ! ..lol

[How did you come up with your user name?]

My nickname. Easy thing. Mongoose is the brand of the BMX bike I dreamed of (and never had) back in 1983.

lucky you didnt lust after a moosegoose ! l

[How did you come up with your user name?]

my user name is from the aussie slang name for my 2 real life cars , holden vn commodores , one is a 1989 3.8lt v6 fitted with a powerdyne supercharger and the other is a 1990 5 lt v8 calais , we commonly call them '' commodes '' , '' dunnydoors '' and '' commiedoors '' ahh amongst other things ! lol

on a side note , im commiedoor on most web sites , except for an american gun site because they wouldnt allow the '' commie '' part of the name on it as it could be associated with communism ??

[clod buster - stock, custom or mod???]

i have a superclod , different shocks and no rear steer , and a codzilla modded to the max running a traxxas 14v twin motor esc .. its like chalk and cheese ..if i want to just run around the dirt parking lot aross the road ..the super clod is fine and fun .. but if i want to rip up the sand dunes at the beach .. nothing beats the clodzilla .. it depends on what i want to do ..

[Not your typical , how much is it worth thread...]

as much as some one is willing to pay for it !

[boomerang and hilux give away]

dont you just hate when that happens !!

[wanted marui motor]

and still looking ...

[Want: WR02 Wild Willy 2 project or rolling chassis]

i have a new body complete and new wheels ,if thats any help ??

[Choose my next project!]

come over for a holiday and finish some of mine ! ..

[Wild Willy 2 Wheel questions]

Agreed, that's a great looking Willy!

But I disagree about the wheels. The rears have 12mm hexes, the fronts take two 1150 bearings each.

oops , yup my blue ! too hot here today and not enough beer .. i took the extended axle out and put a tl01 hub in with mini axles i think .. to get a hex drive for the fronts ..

[Rob's Wild Willy Police project...(updated)]

the man has a ''willy'' fetish thats for sure ! lol

[Wild Willy 2 Wheel questions]

ahh only the ww1 had the bearings in the front rims .. the ww2 has 12mm hex drives front and rear . i put a set of '' land rover'' type wheels on my ww2 .. either that or i got a '' special '' willy 2 ! ..lol

[Any good]

i have a few of them , they would quite well with a silver can and up to a 21t .. brakes work good .. for the price ,they are ok .. there are heaps of them out there ..

[Any ideas for this? / A 6 wheeled crane build]

you could alway make an army type 6x6 flat bed transporter or build a trailer for it .... or grab a bull head body and cut sick similar to my hornet 6x4 ..! just use google images and type in rc 6x6 truck ..

[What to call it?]

looks a bit like a red poison arrow frog .. they have red bodies and black running ( hopping ) gear .

[Bush Devil wheels]

a pic would be nice ?

[red cages galore !]

just finished up the resto on 3 buggies , tamiya a wild one , a marui galaxy and a marui samurai .. not much of a problem really till you work out that the bench is covers with bits of red roll cages .. all 3 have red cages !!! .. mixed in to all that was the old red stuff i was replacing ... found out you can get a bit muddled late at night after a few ales ... was left seeing red !

[W00T a new to me samuri !]

the samurai with it's new clothes and decals .. just waiting on the'' rare as rocking horse used grass '' driver to turn up in the post ..

[curse you fleabay !]

the wild one is finished .. w00t .. period decals and all . not much left over , only the old red cage and other red bits .. cutting out the driver cockpit was a pain .. thenagain the whole body was , its so fiddly and flimsey .

..

[wanted marui motor]

ok .. still looking

[finaly have a galaxy ( non rs )]

got around to nearly finishing my galaxy , still need the 360 rs motor .. but every thing else is done ..
