That's a lovely looking Meteor.. I used to run one mainly indoors on carpet mid to late 80s... The cost of replacement parts was pennies and it was very robust, and the noise of the 32DP gearing was unmistakable.

As well as the Option House shocks, I had the Saddle pack part of the Schumacher SPC 1/12 scale chassis attached to the original SWB car, also ball raced the steering arms along with replacing the e-clips on the wheels for normal threaded ones.

I used it to good effect indoors racing at Stafford Mini Nats and actually embarrassing a few people with much more expensive 4wd cars running motors while I was actually running an MG brown dot..

Loving the MG brown dot motor in your car... not seen one of those for a very long time

There was a one off meeting I went to at York Racecourse where I was forever snapping Drive cups that finally saw the demise of me running that car any longer.
It then had a custom LWB aluminium chassis milled to accept the Corally battery trays before it got passed onto a different member of our local club to use.
