It's pink. Does it come with a cindy doll driving figure?

The PB Mustangs were rather important in the history of rallycross as they were the last British model to dominate the scene.

Anyone have any links to 1/5 off road buggy video clips online? Been searching for a while to no avail...

The guy at 3-5 models told me they do an electric start version of the new os four stroke. No more starting hassles at all!

Yes I remember those. Obviously they were too expensive for 1/10 owners as they didn't take off.

Just spoken to three five models and they told me about an OS .40 four stroke buggy engine. It doesn't seem to be on the OS website yet, but they have already sold one to a customer. This will sound rather good in my project mustang! Here's an early picture - scroll down to the all black one (available in two sizes)... http://www.hobbycentre.com.au/OS-MAX07.html

Who did it? Do you have any info - which engine was used? or a link?

Has anyone ever seen a four stroke engine in an 1/8th model car? I know it would have a lower power to weight ratio, but the sound would be rather appealing. Could be an interesting project...

I guess racing them would highlight a few short comings. Probably why they were constantly evolving the design. Only thing I ever raced with mine was a dog over the park. Caught the little ****** though!

Ok, I'm a kack driver and their subtleties are lost on me

That's the point - rc cars have not advanced in the last ten years. Unless you count purple anodising and chinese mass cloning as a major step forward. Each of these kits set the peak standards in their respective fields and nothing has changed since - RC10, CAT, Burns 1/8.

I looked into this a year ago. I bought a BK2 losi as it was better built IMO. I still managed to snap the little thing in two, like a twig. I much prefer the older metal RC10 for looks and toughness. I found it pretty cack in damp weather too - spinning out too easily on power. I wouldn't ever buy either a 2WD or a carbon chassis car again. I'll be sticking to 4x4 and metal chassis from now on. (Maybe I'm a pants driver, lol)

First impressions in a 1/10 Yankee with after market kyosho option house gold shocks.

Just my 2p worth... I think the carbon tubs are highly over rated. I managed to crack one in half with a minor crash. I much prefer the tougher metal chassis instead. Carbon may be light and stiff, but it isn't very tough and absorbant for impacts.

Hi all, I'm in the process of building a modified PB XI2, recreating the car I owned back in '86. I wonder how many other PB 1/8 Mustang owners we have around? Sign in here so we might build up a little list of users...this could be invaluable to track down little spare parts etc.
