PB Mini Mustang ( New Look)

[MAD RACER]

Just Finished my refurbished look of my Mini Mustang.

For running at Boondal I decided to go for Re re Super Shot wheels as they bolt straight up with new Schumacher spike tyres with foam inserts.

I hated my first attempt  of painting the original sourced shell so I ordered another body from TBG and went to work on a black and gold scheme .

Just a basic but a effective look I feel. I refined the saddle pack set up better and it will run a 2 speed down the track with a brushless combo. At this stage it's got a 12t brushless combo geared very low.

Really nice!

Dont see many of these about (or ever, expensive bitd). Longed for a 2 speed, they must be twice as fast!

Got an 1988 price list from Otley Modelsport, £129 for the mini mustang, not as expensive as i remember!?!

Yeah they were expensive.

When I was racing against these PB's the standard kit was $450 with a 2 speed it was another $100 so $550 was the sum in Australia. My Mid was $550 which I was saving for months before it came out.

As I was only earning $150 for a 6 day week that was a lot of money. I say it was a lot back then for you guys too.

I see the ECO is listed which was the budget version of the mini mustang. So that's some time on.

I think i worked out the wages are around 3x now, RC racing was mega expensive back then!!

Good to hear it's going to see some run time and not just sit on the shelf.
