  1. Yes eBay is a total rip off !!! they even take a % now out of your shipping money . so if you charge the correct amount it costs then you get charged through eBay then again if payment through paypal !!! about time now a new auction site and payment method was started as eBay / paypal are robbing the world
  2. Looking for a Blazer box will consider any condition . cash or paypal ready . Thanks Steven
  3. Hope so lol Was looking at my hilux I restored about 15 years ago plus . Mans slop is incredible .
  4. If ur gonner use normal cat paint like said it’s worth getting a can of plastic primer also . yes it will work just using standard primer but plastic primer eats into the plastic to form a bond
  5. I’ve got an original shift plate on my acoms 27mhz which I’m going to sell together with a 35mhz acoms radio but it don’t have the shifter plate and 4channel 27mhz rx . the 27mhz radio needs a return spring fitted for the throttle cause was once used as a plane radio but the parts can be taken off the 35mhz acoms vintage radio . gonner put them up for sale soon if interested ?
  6. Ended up going back to the original set up with a new ball and ball link and a much stiffer servo arm . as my ball joint idea was great until I went to put the lid on and it not fit lol . im pretty happy with it now though . we could do with some one machining up a kit though to mount the Servo may be in front of the box on right hand side of gearbox and just use a shorter link arm . or just do a nice job of making parts for it to fit up front and just have two short rods going to each side and Ditch all the original links etc suprised there’s not a kit out there
  7. The templates used to be included with original 3 speeds
  8. Awsome Thankyou very much for great reply :/) . im running a high torque hitec Servo which doesn’t struggle at all . after looking at it again the main problem I have is the steering rod that comes off the Servo , the bent Z arm is where the main problem is . luckly I’m into helicopters and going to fit Align rc Heli ball joints and a new rod . reakon this will make it center much better .
  9. No problem , just make sure to get the correct spray from ur model shop . one is for the clear bodies and you want the paint type for Abs body’s. most don’t need a primer just scrub the body with fairy liquid and a green pad to etch the surface and let dry first .
  10. Just get a tamiya spray designed for abs bodies and just light coat it on . do not use enamel spray paint !! you can use car paint but it will need a coat of plastic primer , then normal primer then the paint . go and get the right spray and you will find it easy .
  11. Yes very good , you can use just about what ever cleaner fluid in it you choose also . i was just using carb cleaner , only needs like 10% of it diluted into water
  12. One thing you won’t belive on the old 3 speeds hilux and blazer is how many bolts there is lol . its incredidable . i stripped mine to nothing then put every nut / bolt and all the parts through an ultra sonic bath before I did any thing . then I sorted every nut and bolt etc . polished and painted what I planned on . then start on page one if the manual like a new build . will be posting my rebuilt blazer in the next few days .
  13. Amazing but understand having one or two of all the nib kits you love , but having like ten is just pointless . am I jealous hmm a little but suppose lol , but for me most could go . would love his nib blazer and Hilux though
  14. Just been connecting my Servos up today for the steering in my Blazer restoration and it’s such a poor set up . Finally got it all working equal but never goes back to center . worse area seems to be the Servo saver in Servo /battery box . Is there any upgrades or steering mods out there . thanks Steven
  15. Can any one help if so please give me a text 07411 623373 or email lightningrc@gmail.com cheers Steven Edit: Bought the lights now just want an original box :-)
  16. Sorry just realised the side bars not come in the black kit , you have to paint them the same way I did the wheels . but personally if I was going to do the build again then I would leave the side bars off and fill the bolt holes as I think even when painted they just don’t look right .
  17. There’s black plastic set which includes black bumpers and side bars , plus loads of all the other parts on the chassis which should have been black . the wheels , I used light sand paper to take the shine off the finish and for new paint to have a key . i then used automotive plastic primer which is clear with specs in , just give them a light coat . then I give both sides of wheels 2 coats with satin black (auto type again) allow 24 hours before refitting Tyres . I love them think in chrome they look like toy wheels . I believe there gonner be hard wearing but could easily repainted if you use your truck for rock climbing .
  18. I would love to buy the Ranger or the Super champ , always fancied the super champ when I was a kid
