Yep I had a 2nd hand mini-mustang back in yesteryear, I loved it!! I too had the problem of the std plastic dogbones jumping out on full lock when you touched a hose etc.Replaced them with proper one way units.
Also went to my local model shop who recommended a fine pitch gear conversion...so I went for it. For the next month or so I snapped 4-5 belts.....
.....
Wasnt until I realised the guy had given me the fine pitch diff pulley's etc but not the fine pitch belt tensioner!!Whoops!!
I was only about 11 at the time-took me a while to realise!! Great car-I don't have the actual car anymore but I did treat myself 3 years ago to a new in box one!!
2 speed mini-mustang!! Cost me a small fortune n been tryn ever since not to build it. I swore to myself I would never
n so far I havent.
Also have a pretty new Maxima 2nd hand 2 speed.The front end is all brand new-an the rest in great condition. Loved racing these PB cars back in the day...until my mates and they're rc10's were beating me..my little 1200 scr cells wouldn't last 5mins in the pb's-and my pocket money could'nt afford the sce's!!
