Cheers pal, the driveshafts arrived today: we’re back in business👍🏻 11 is an impressive count! Is it just Tamiya you’ve had? There’s clearly heaps of others out there, but for me, it’s always been Tamiya that’s tugged on the nostalgia coat tails! I’m a little too old to remember the Madcap when it was released, but it seems to have a very diff inhibited power delivery? It maybe that’s how they all are, but it doesn’t like hills that steep! I need to get something ordered as even tinkering with the back of the Madcap got me wanting more. Really nice to hear your Hotshot is a, “Trigger’s broom”. Kinda feels like it’s had a proper life if bits and pieces have been swapped out and it’s still going strong.

Deffo older stuff for me. It’ll be nice to actually build one at last, as the Madcap came pre-enjoyed. Thank you again so much for the driveshafts, I’m hugely grateful and it’s great to find there are some top people on here 👍🏻

That’s brilliant pal, huge thanks to you 🙏🏻 I’m in a few minds as to what to get. Hornet or Frog is what I always wanted, although I’m really keen on the Brat too🥴It’ll certainly be from my distant youth tho!

Absolutely. Top chap indeed🙏🏻

Super kind pal. If it’s ok w. you, I’ll happily take them. An 8 year old who currently lacks mechanical sympathy is a fearsome opponent! Let me know what you want and how to see you right👍🏻

That’s brilliant pal. Thank you so much. I was hoping they would, as the original part number ones on eBay are £25! I shall sort it now! Much appreciated

Hi there, My son was given an old Madcap by my wife’s work colleague which he’s really enjoying. So much so, he smacked it into a log he’d been using to jump it and sheared the lowed rear suspension mount. I’ve sourced a replacement, but during the incident, the driveshaft was thrown clear and couldn’t be found. Does anyone know if another pair of driveshafts can be used as replacements, as the originals seem to be tricky to source. I’ve read that Super Astute ones may fit? Are there such things are generic driveshafts? Sorry for the dimness, a bit new to all this, despite desperately wanting a Frog as a child. I think my day will soon come! Cheers, Nick
