I also think they new body is more brittle, but that may be subjective... Terry But then she's little less vintage .. gotta give it a shot .. if I pooch the body and have to get re re then so be it .. if I can repaint old body .. the only thing non vintage on it will be 1 antenna and back tires .. and decals ... those are on the way .. re released vintage ones ...

Toolmaker72 507 Posted March 25, 2020 The chassis with the brat wheels, what motor is bolted on? It doesn’t look standard 🤔 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Finny99 64 Posted March 26, 2020 Yea I read something like that .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WillyChang 1814 Posted March 27, 2020 Technituned is pretty soft, don't expect too much... even when brandnew barely as grunty as a SportTuned IMHO probably originally intended for 1/12 pan cars like the Porsche 956 Racing Master mk6. BiTD Comms were sold as sparepart bubblepacked on cardstrip. Technipower Comms a lot rarer to be found these days than Technituned Comms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
