:D Here we GO! Just aquired a Kyosho Ultima Pro with period Futaba ESC and Radio gear!!!

Funny thing is that when the chap brought me the car it was in a Pendle Models holdall (bit like a Beatties bag) and that was/is my uncles model shop. So chances are I sold this car to him 15 years ago???

Also came with Acoms mains quick charger and a Tekomo slope charger!
:D :D

Good score.

Just got Vicks vaporub in my eyes, hurst so goooood!

no mate, that was another one in the states, that was a Turbo Ultima, this one has come off someone who works for one of my customers.;)

Bid on shell #1

Just dug out the old meteor from my garage. Do you think that it might have seen a few better days?

No, it looks ace!
Get it raced. :D

the mardave website (mardave.com or mardave.co.uk) only seems to sell parts for the V12 and cobra, so I'm a little stuck at the mo...

Good luck finding Meteor parts! I seem to be having a little trouble coaxing Cobra parts (that I paid in advance via paypal for) from mardave.com, so I'd advise giving them a wide berth at present anyway. Hopefully a quick call will resolve this.

[Edit: One stern email, no actual reply but a package of bits arrived soon after. Have now sourced an alternate supplier for most parts.]

May have to rethink my vintage entry at this rate though!

You know you want it,

Ebay Meteor

I want it!

Ive bid on this beast, for the Vintage meeting. Although i have sourced a Cobra too, so if anyone wants to outbid me, feel free to!

Jim? :confused::D

If someone runs this it should be the class of the field?

Just finished fitting the new Whittle team colours bodyshells to the RC10 and the XXT.

HMMM! NICE!:D

ps. G, I've found some original Associated Gold springs which have stiffened it all up rather nicely, first run this weekend at the Aces.;)

Losi looks nice, RC10 looks shite!

Damo, that RC10 is the bollocks :D honest.

Stu, nice sig, time for me to update mine.....
