Here’s some photos of the projects and other nice cars I’ve acquired over the last year or so. Some people may recognise some cars already from the revival.Fingers crossed I can upload the photos!

More cars
 

More buggy’s and my schueys that are currently in the rebuild process.

They look cracking. Lovin the 2 YOKOMOS......:thumbsup:

hey the fireblade EVO is mine, son you little thief :D:D:D:D:D

love from your dad :D:D:D:D

Cat ec
 

Here’s some piccys of my almost finished cat ec. Pretty much built from all new parts...:drool::drool::drool:


Just waiting for the delivery of purple rear toe blocks:thumbsup:

Winter builds
 

A little update on what I’ve been spannering on this winter. Must say a massive thanks to xfactor/ mark for the amazing paintwork. Absolutely stunning stuff. Hope you guys enjoy:thumbsup:

Looking Good.
 

Looking Good Mitcho……………...:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Nice cat 2000, I see you copied my paint scheme, which I copied from someone else, LOL

Nice XX apart from the horrible white front bulkhead :lol:

at least it's a genuine upgrade losi part :D

Yep :thumbsup: it’s my buddy’s Karl Marsdens from bitd :D

They are stronger than the original so it’s definitely need with me driving :thumbsup: Was lucky enough to stumble across a few nip:D

Does anyone here remember Karl Marsden's paint job he had on his cougar 200/ fireblade. Similar to the cat pictured but I think had some silver on it. I remember it was his, Kevin Moore, Craig drescher and jukka steenari with the paint jobs I wanted the most.
I was lucky enough to actually own jukka steenaris fireblade bodyshell from the euros. Sadly it's now long gone.

Did it look like these?

Similar. I seem to recall there was silver towards the bottom. I am sure they were on his cougar 2000 and fireblade. I did a bit of internet searching for it but couldn't find it.

The one on the left is closest.

Another one was William mitchum. His predator had a nice paint job.

Found it

Yeah yellow was swapped out to Silver one 2wd shell

Yes it's that one with silver. How did you find that pic. Very cool lol.
I wonder if any of the cars of the drivers mentioned still exist. Be great to see the cars again.

A few :lol:

Stuntmonk1,


Wow, you have nearly as much purple as my Cat2000/98/EC hybrid :-)


Where have you been getting the new parts from? And those purple spacers between the shock mounts, where are those from!?!
And the wing mounts?


S.

the spacers are modded motor heat sinks cool eh!

regards mitch's useless dad

wing mounts are off current kc L1 Schumacher offroad range
unless my boy tells me different

Hi buddy, yeah as my dad says, wing mounts are from a Schumacher cougar kc, they are a straight swap. The spacers are the heat sink fins off the motor heat sink chopped down and drilled out. Hope this helps.

Regards Mitch

Yes, that is pretty cool, I may attempt that with my heat sink, though I'll probably loose a finger.


Alloy aerial holder and servo mounts... are they alloy equivalents of the standard schumacher ones?


Stuart.

Recent builds
 

Losi xx4 and my 2nd b3 nearly completed.

Both look cracking Mitcho………...:thumbsup:

Very nice mate :thumbsup:

Latest build
 

Carbon tub no2 nearing completion

Beautiful Mitcho. Love it...….:)

Another build just about there. Cost me an arm and a leg this one but it’s not very often a mint tomy infuser comes up for sale. I had previously purchased all the gpm parts and had them all re anodised ready to go, underside of the car doesn’t have a mark to it either which is rare. Photos don’t do this iconic car justice. Hope you guys like it:D:thumbsup:

Stunning, love it......:)

Procat
 

Finally got round to “finishing” my procat project. Still some additions I’d like to make but waiting till they pop up for sale. Not sure I’m ready to do another procat after this one, they really are a pain to work on😂 I did start with the intentions of doing it all black but then didn’t like the look halfway through, so I decided to do silver alloy too so it makes it stand out more. So the spec I’ve built this car too is:

Tanaplan

Chasisis
Top deck
Sideplates
Shock tower
Rear camber link plate
And steering rack

Mms front and rear diffs

Schumacher slipper

Sjp rear wishbones

Alloy eccentrics

Alloy z bracket

Alloy layshaft bearing holders

Also just put some matched sanyo cells in along with a reedy mr series motor for period equipment. Thanks to Paul Brockbank for the recommendations! Just have to re wire a speedo before I can drop that in. But i like the way it sits at the moment. Doesn’t look too crowded in there at the moment imo.

Not going to bother with a body either as it would be cruel to cover this up.

Hope you guys approve, if anyone has or comes across some sjp top mounts or crashback mounts in white please give me a shout.

Cheers Mitch

Very cool mitch👍🏼.

Love to know where you guys find all the alloy bits and pieces, I’m still on the hunt for tanaplan or similar side plates for my project just don’t want to spend £370 for a whole buggy to get them😬

Keep up the good work.


Adrian

Thought I’d give in update since I have done so in a while, not been super busy but I’ve recently bought and purchased these 2 rb5 Vegas and b4.1 vega elite. One rb5 and the b4.1 have next to no scratches and have come up super tidy, just need to source an original body for a rb5 vega if anyone knows of one kicking about:thumbsup:

Mitch

Vega shell
 

I think penguin design does a Vega shell

B4
 

Another pretty much new build complete. Team Associated B4 FT with nearly all the trinity parts. Just on the lookout for some rear hubs if anyone has some stashed away👍🏻

Also signed by the man himself Paul Bradby

Enjoy

Losi Xxx
 

Another one that I finished a while ago, a graphite Losi xxx with some trinity goodies to be used. No shelf queen but a tidy example at the least.

Enjoy
