Thanks, each for kind comments...I was bought a decent digital camera for Christmas - so I shall have to give the 'across water' idea a try !
With all the air in those tyres, it might just...

Hi sgt.barnes.That resistor does get rather hot. If it stops working - I'll ask you for advice !

You two are frightening me...!It is VERY FAST - but all I do is play with it - there's no need to really 'screw' it...
After a few seconds at full power - it is too far away to see it properly.
Perhaps I should 'tame' it - I have a 13-turn double, as well ?

...it only needs a receiver !

...I was thinking that it looks a bit 'chunky'...!
I have just been looking at getting at four more new Grasshopper2 wheels for it, to use with those same tyres.

Hello Ollie,
I've got spares ! ;)
It can be spun 'on a penny' in the wet... it's great.

Marvelous manta...

Thanks Ollie.
They certainly make the model visible - and set off the yellow shocks and the writing nicely... :D

This is my favourite of all the transmitters I have had in 34 years of modelling...! :DIt is substantial - twice as heavy as my Attack II transmitter - despite it's batteries being lighter...

Baja body building - part 1

There's not much that can be done at the front end without moulding... and I wanted to keep things simple with this first attempt. :D12-Mar-2008

Thanks to all for kind comments...Peter - after reading your 'All about me' page, I thought that you might like this, if you looked...! ;)
Sibbet - there's LOTS to do before this gets painted... and I will be adding many more pictures.

Thank you Sir...!
Has anyone reading this ever seen a Bush Devil with an anti-roll bar fitted around the rear of the gearbox ?
I plan to add an anti-roll bar - and cover it with a 'scale-ish' engine...
Keven. :)

It is all done with sheet styrene - plastic card.
The intake is 20-thou - the rest is 30-thou.
That Sand Digger looks great... ;)

NO car is too nice to run, Ollie ! ;)
I'm having a think about wheels...
Those are black Dark Impact wheels - and I can't help thinking I need to paint the new body black ( or a dark colour ) to match.
A Stealth Baja...?

The dark areas visible in the photos on the window pillars are strips of carbon fibre glued into position with CA... :)
When everything else is done ( but before I add any acetate for windows ), I will add carbon fibre tissue over the carbon strips - and over the whole of the inside surfaces of the roof - and the air intake.
A couple of coatings with brushed laminating epoxy will make the bodyshell very resilient. ;)
I've been busy over the last few days - making ready my 'toys' for the meeting at Ainsdale. I'll do more 'work' on Monday...
Keven. :)

Like my blackfoot, restored to run :)

That looks PERFECT...
I SOLD my original Hotshot in 1988 - when I needed to finance the purchase of a full-size car...
I'll be at Ainsdale later today. I plan on some full-size nostalgia...! ;)
