Question from new member

Hi all, looks like a great forum. I just bought a Holiday buggy and wanted to know what "if any" Hop-ups are there? I read the article in The vintage media section and there was a Top ten list of hop-ups? How many of these would be possible?

The top ten list of hop ups are all fictional, based on thinking when the article was written in 1999. If you fancied any of these hop ups you would have to make them yourself.

The only proper hop ups are ballraces and the 540 size motor mount from the Sand Rover. There are several articles in the media section which give details of home made hop ups to improve the handling of the car.

Thanks Terry, are the ball races the same as for SS?

Officially just 8x std. 1150 bearings but you can fit also 850s at the rear arms and with mods some bearings at the gearbox.

I would also recommend some coil springs and dampers at the back and softer springs at the front like in my runner http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=14081&id=16

Car looks great, what is ment by the over-engineered rear suspension?
