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 !

I know what you mean, eichkay.
I have managed to smash TWO Monster Beetle bodyshells in the last twenty years...!!!

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

Pure ( futaba ) gold...

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

I have been offered silly money on one occasion - but I am never going to sell this ! ;)

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. :D

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... ;)

Baja body building - part 1

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 :)
sgt.barnes

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...! ;)

Well - it's great fun...!


I think that these photos were taken whilst Adam was driving it - my jumps are not that good...!

Does that make me a confirmed 'nutter' ?
