Janner 35 Posted April 5, 2017 I have a HS2 that I have nearly finished restoring. It looks mint as I think it must have been a shelfer originally. It came to me missing the access cover door, body and wing and the battery door (which is hard to find) The battery door is used with a small scratch on it. So it has a repro body & wing by TBG and repro MCI decals and a repro access door but no body pin yet. It is RTR but would probably need a strip down. It does seem to go faster in revers so it needs a little fettle. I tested it on my carpet. Here is a pick (the wing is not yet fixed which is why it looks wonky. It also comes with a JR Beat 202 controller. It has a repro battery box but tested with alkaline batteries and all works fine. Make me an offer 1 Share this post Link to post
Janner 35 Posted April 5, 2017 I also replaced one of the wheel mount as it was cracked - I used a vintage part for that. One of the rear wheels does wobble a little. when spun I think this is the drive shaft. They were quite thin on the HS2 and got redesigned on the HS/Boomer/etc re-re to be thicker.

Hibernaculum 933 Posted April 16, 2017 Any thoughts @mickeystewart? If you are not interested, that's completely ok. But it would be nice if you responded at least. Because several people have now replied to your request with cars they are willing to sell you. 1 Share this post Link to post

And the R/C group you referred me to is also a "private" page, so I could not even see any messages on the page! Maybe you can email me the pics, and copy paste the questions. Always happy to reply, and I always endeavour to do so... 1 Share this post Link to post
