How about you get yourself a proper vintage car then?
http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/95...-yz-10-spares/
Would be awesome to see one of these running again
And there's another on ebay at the moment :wub

It's ok Matt, he can beat the rest of us by as many laps as he wants - with the B3 he won't be scoring points against us! (2 classes don't forget).

olla all you Vintage racers

i watched you guys do this some time ago at Caldi and it did look like fun

what cars class as pre 94 and pre 99? appaert from the AE cars i have no idea- one question is a xx4 pre 99 and are you letting people run them in 4wd vintage?

Im looking at 2wd for vitage fun

Yeah, I really didn't think the pre-99 through properly. It was aimed at a couple of people who wanted to run their mid 90's Cats and Cougars (none of whom seem to want to race now!) xx4 does count as pre-99 :rolleyes:

2wd and 4wd are running together for vintage - unless we had enough entries for 2 heats! Even then I'd be inclined to split based on year rather than transmission.

right then chaps i found this in the cupboard and haven't a clue what it is. Can anyone tell me what it is and when it was made? All i know is it says Kyosho on the bumper?

Looks like a laser zx but i could be wrong.

Looks like scrap, but I could be wrong :)

Its a mk1 Kyosho Lazer ZX circa 1989/90 Bill, and looks to be in pretty good nick :)

Shocks arent original though, look like early Scumachers to me ?

Perfect for the vintage series, and i have spares if you need any...

Its a lazer zx and still the best 4wd buggy ive ever driven, knocks the trf511 for strength easily. I used one from 1988 to 2000 Doing thrre club events and one major event almost every week and broke only 1 wishbone, and three rear belts and one front belt. Superb on carpet, dirt, clay and grass as well on a flooded grass track.

Scrap, No chance. A far better product than whats curently being made. A set of trx1 shocks and 7.5 degree front castor blocks and a tub chassis (the original first design) and is an effective buggy and can show these new cars how well engineered it still is.

Defo early Schuey shocks on there.
Dust it off for some vintage fun next month Bill, be ace if those electrics still worked too!
Academy, Tamiya and Kyosho wheels* will fit on there letting you run some decent tyres too!

*plus others using a 12mm hex

i think its going to take a lot to get this old girl race ready but i'll bring it down to caldi next time i'm racing if anyone wants to take a look and give any pointers on what needs doing to her.

thanks for all the vintage knowledge chaps :)

:thumbsup:

It wont take much Bill - refill the shocks ( dont know what pistons are in there so open them up ! ) check the diffs are ok, oil the U/J's, bung on some mini pins or spikes, an old 14-19 s/d/t brushed motor and your away :thumbsup:

Enough to start with anyway - otherwise take an afternoon/long evening to strip & rebuild it. Wont take long, they are easy to do.

i'll have to see what i can do, unless anyone else gets excited by these only things and fancies getting her race fit? (if you dont ask :) )

I was never excited by the Lazer sorry!
(waits for Welshy to come back and give me all the reasons why it should excite me! ;))

Bring it along, we'll get it working again for you, 80 weight oil all round should do it along with some Tamiya Oval block tyres :p

sounds good to me pete

Someone asked the other day what the worst car I'd ever driven was.... answers on a postcard :woot:

I thought you said that was a Predator ?? :p

Pred was an amazing car to drive, but you were scared to go within 12 inches of the track marking.

I am talking the worst car to actually drive, the one that handled like a 3 legged giraffe stuck in quick sand.

LOL good come back :lol:

Have to say i always liked the Lazer though...

Quote of the day!!! :lol: :thumbsup:

Edited for accuracy ;)

Hey leave the Holiday Buggy out of this!

That's not the worst handling car I've ever owned, guess again :lol:

LOL, it must have been bad then!
Even worse than the S44 then? :evil:

Balders Tamiya before you rebuilt the thing? lol

Wild Willy?

In the vintage races is it vintage electrics too? brushed motors and ni cads or just whatever to get the old girls running?

Cheers

Chris (Tomy Intruder mk 1)

The wild willy was meant to handle badly though!

We discussed the whole brushed v brushless and he consensus was run whatever you like. Most people seem to have gone brushless but 10.5 (or slower). Same for batteries too, I think everyone's gone lipo.

I haven't seen a Tomy for a long long time!

Scratch one person off the Christmas card list..... :)

This one could run on and on... :lol:

Hehe i remember having a head on with Dave when he got taken out and his YZ10 wishbone snapped in half. Still damn nice car and will easily compete with the new cars. I won several big events with a YZ10.

I preferred my zxr alongside my B2. I havent driven anything better than the B2 so intend on staying with it.

Craig, i didnt think mine was that bad. You just couldnt drive the car according to my gearing. It went well and got me some good results. I agree with the pred as mine was binned at one of the welsh rounds as it was crap.

Pete, im not going to try and persuade you on the lazer as i know the yok suited you and Dave better. It worked well for me as it was twitch city and would turn instantly no matter what grip or tire including Craigs cut n shuts. Built like a tank and simple to rebuild. I changed a rear belt in Neath and Craig couldnt believe it took less than five minutes. Still i miss my original and still cant find the tub chassis which is gutting.

Lol, only playing James!
But yes, I'd love another Yokomo, shame they go for such silly money and spares are so rare :(

be nice to see a bigwig blasting round there!!

Sod the big wig, get the wild willy!!!

Cars I'd like to see in no particular order on the track at the same time would be:

Schumacher XLS
RC10 MIP 4WD
Tamiya Egress
Tomy Intruder
Cougar 2 Works
The Lunchbox
Anything RC10!

Come on guys search through your cupboards and get them going, other than the MIP RC10 i bet that this list is totally possible to get on the track!

:thumbsup:

Hehe i got rid of my rc10 mip carbon chassis not so long ago. Its a work of art.

Ive owned all of your list

Didn't you have an Academy 4wd at one point? I seem to remember you bitching A Lot about those..

Saying that though any car you don't own you say is rubbish! ;)

a have an original lunchbox at home as well i think... amazing car :)

i got a couple of xls's

I had a clod buster but is now at the bottom of Cwmbran boating lake. Did quite well as i got halfway across before it decided to sink. I forgot to glue the tyres on.
