  1. I recognise the body and I have a pretty good idea what it is . Judging from your description of the chassis it is probably a PB Racing Porche 917 . This was Pb's 1st car so is quite rare so whatever you do dont split the parts .Post some pictures on here of the chassis for confirmation .


  2. Anybody here remember the P2 and P4 1/8 Scale Pan cars from Delta Systems? What is the current going rate for these? I bought a job lot consisting of 3 cars and thinking of selling the other one.. Here's a pic:

    I will definately have one if you are willing to send to the UK .


  3. retromodeller,

    HistoricRC do indeed have the 6R4s available.... price has gone up about US$20 or $30 in the past few months though....

    I have one left unallocated from my run of 20... complete with www.Pandagfx.com mask set..... would come in about US$10 - $20 cheaper than HistoricRC, posted to you, if you're interested... I had got it ready for another member, but he was able to source one locally....

    Hi Incredible_Serious

    Yes I would be interested along with the Decal set if can supply . I had the intention of contacting you but wanted to try and find one locally to reduce the chance of any imort duty to the UK. One other thing I have noticed with this latest batch of bodies is a slight " frosty" finish to the lexan . This is OK with the body as it will be painted but are the windows the same ?

  4. Many Thanks for the correct manual - this will prove invaluable in the re-build . My existing chassis is OK with no scratches underneath . It was actually well protected by a thick layer of Caster oil which is taking forever to get off. What bugs me about the chassis is the hole someone cut into the chassis just in front of the rear wheel - this is pictured bottom right of my picture and the small notches files around the engine mounting holes . I dont have the equipment to weld over these and machine the welds to as good as new so a replacement chassis will be on order soon .


  5. Actually I think I have the original Burns but the only manual I could download was for the Turbo Burns and I assumed wrongly they had the same chassis .It definately isn't the Turbo Burns as it does not have the counter sinking on the chassis screws.
    post-9866-1218989389.jpg . As you can see it is looking a little tired so I want to replace it . It certainly is good news that I can go ahead and order BS51B . Thanks for all the contributions on this topic as this is my first Burns project .
    Thankyou INTEGRA FAN for your help - I will need a replacement shell in the near future and will be contacting you for a number of items from your ever growing list .


  6. This is where I am a little confused about the part number . I thought the USA 1 used the same chassis as it was based on the Burns but according to the Ben Racing Kyosho Spares Page 7 the USA chassis number is BS51B (which they have in stock) but my instruction manual says the Burns chassis is part number is BS61(which I cant find anywhere) . I'm after some clarification on this as I dont want to order the wrong part number . I've been all over Ebay but cant seem to find anything but I'll just have to keep looking .


  7. Thats the guy !!!  I'll see if I can contact him but I had the same problem with him not replying to e-mails just before my computer crashed . He use to have some great Hilux bumpers and I wish I had bought another 2 or 3 off him . Blazerfrazer knew him so I might try and contact him through Fraser .

  8. These were pressed steel and chrome plated like the originals . I had a couple of them and they were very convincing . I think he had them especially made and at that time supply outstripped demand as he could'nt sell them for £5.00 each on the bay . I lost  his contact details due to a computer crash .  He also produced a ballraced  leak free  conversion for the 3 speed Hilux/Blazer gearbox.


  9. Glad you got your hands on a diff Mike .

    Schumacher definately made a diff for thr SRB . I remember reading an interview in a magazine and he said he made some of these in limited numbers . I've not seen one so I have no idea what it looks like but if you could get you hands on one .....
