Hi to all the vintage fans.
 
Hey all,

I have had a few vintage cars, mostly found on council cleanups.

At the moment i have a Nichimo "Spirit FF" front wheel drive 1/10th buggy (For sale) and a Losi "Street Weapon" 1/10th road car.

I have had an original Tamiya "Boomerang" and a "Wild Willy, both have now been sold to fund my RC habit!

I have been trying to find drive belts for the "Street Weapon" for months with little success.

Happy RC, Brett. :D

Cheers for the help!

I have found someone with a couple in his tool box, how good is that! :thumbsup:

Also, the benracing site is still active.

Thanks, Brett.

Cool car that nichimo!

Not the best or most reliable but defintely something that will get attention at a vintage event.

Tech Head 24-07-2009 10:08 PM

Yes that's right about the Nichimo, i took it to a vintage meeting even though it was'nt a runner, it drew lots of attension. I have sold it now so i don't have it anymore.

At the moment i have the street weapon, a smartech 1/10th nitro onroad and a HSP Tornado 1/8th MT. All these cars were given to me for free. The HSP needs an engine, the Smartech just needs a drive washer for the engine, the Weapon is now a runner.

Cheers, Brett.

Brett I thought you'd have come to the big vintage meeting at Ryde. Unfortunately I didnt get to meet you or see your unfinished Spirit FF. Which vintage meeting did you go to??:confused:

Tech Head 31-07-2009 10:04 AM

Hey Bormac, I have a track out back of my house that my is used by me and a bunch of guys that have not quite vintage but not at all main stream cars. I have had up to 10 cars running around the track, from 1/8 MT's to 1/10 buggies, nitro and electric all playing together nicely. :D Most are more than ten years old.

I have the Smartech running now, it went pretty well with the SMT .15, I have transplanted an O.S. Max .12 into it just to see how it measures up.
Tommorrow is run in, day one.

I have put the belts into the Street Weapon and made some saddle packs, i will try that one tommorrow as well!

Cheers, Brett. :D

Hey Brett next time Im down in Sydney I'll have to come visit your track. Where are you at?

Tech Head 31-07-2009 10:36 AM

I'm in Seaforth, on the Northern Beaches. Very close to Manly beach.
It is a grass track with no jumps, just slight risers and valleys. The older cars love it because it's forgiving and does'nt break them.

Your welcome anytime!

Cheers, Brett. :D
