Purple, he probably rolled it and trashed them like i did!
Terry, the car looks almost identical, on the face of it it just looks like shorter rear shocks and shock mounts. Different spur gear, mines original red plastic item. By the way, were they .6 module or 48dp, I couldn't find it anywhere in the instruction manual?
You're not that old, probably only a couple of years older than me, I just remembered 'a Terry' that worked with Derek and when you mentioned Stockport Model Car Club I just thought it may be the same person. I started racing in about 84ish (I was 10) with a Tamiya Pajero down at Cheadle and Woodford and managed to somehow get it round ok (with bath sealant on the tyres!
) despite a ridiculously high centre of gravity! Not like those cars seem to be going round on that video, they look really quick, are they 12th scale? I remember Cheadle with Derek on the mike and his little phrases "Buggy drivers group 2, this one's for you" etc!
I'll have to pop down to Cheadle and have a look and also introduce myself.
Once again, much appreciated with all the advice/help on the Tomy.
Cheers
Chris
