That’s great thank you!

Hello I wanted to know if anyone had done a super sabre to boomerang body swap and what parts I would need to do this as I see the boomerang has a separate wing. Also I see on eBay a vehicle called a Winger which might share the same chassis? Basically I’m looking for a spare body shell to use that isn’t the original... thanks

So I’ve upgraded the bearings in the wheels (1150s) and have just ordered some for the gearboxes. I was also going to order some 850s but according to the parts listing in the manual they are metal anyway...so should I not bother?

Thank you!!

Thank you so much, very helpful!

So I guess the 1150 and 860s are something like these? There are metal and rubber options? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/372244617607 in the same bags as those when I got the car was some rubber tubing (8000034) and thrust washers (5700011) should I get new ones of those as well? and if anyone has a bette recommended source then the first ones I found on eBay that would be great!

You’ll have to forgive me for asking so many idiotic questions - I have found them in the manual - looks like some go into the wheels and some go into the gearboxes. I don’t think I’m up to a gearbox refurb but I can do the wheels. Is the wear worse on the wheels or gearbox? Is it also the same case with the thrust washers (part 5700011)? And how can I tell if I have mechanical speed control? Sorry for the questions and thanks in advance for your help!

That is a tremendous answer thank you very much! I will get on to the ball beatings, I might be back just to double check I’m buying the right things (as I am a bit of an idiot) - I’m looking forward to a bit of maintenance and upgrading and hopefully a hobby that my son enjoys with me!

Hi there, I’ve recently reclaimed my old Super Sabre (I think 1989) from my parents loft, after some menial repairs and a new battery the car is running well tearing up and down the garden - I have a young son who is very interested in construction/Lego etc so he helped me repair it. I just really wanted to say hello and that I’m loving having it back working again, and if there’s any recommended tips for me for a car that hasn’t been driven for maybe 25 years! Any parts I should just go out and upgrade or if he’s still running if I should leave him alone? thanks
