Early 90's - best bits
Hi All,
I'm planning a couple of future projects and would like some ideas from you regarding what your ultimate spec car would be from the early 1990's. So ignoring complete cars, which manufacturer do you think made the best: Chassis Wishbones Turnbuckles Shocks Springs Wheels Tyres Diff Transmission Slipper Bodyshell Anything else My experience is mostly limited to Schumacher stuff, so I won't post my opinions except to say that MMS is probably a good shout for the diff. Over to you.

Over to 2wd or 4wd personally the best chassis of th early nineties was the rc10 worlds with the hydra drive lunsford turnbuckles jammin shell yokomo 2.2 wheels on the back ko servo tekin 410k speedo oh the chassis had to be milled out  stealth box tyres Schuey blues springs green associated all round

Traxxas shocks were always regarded as being up there with the best.

Charger - Competition Electronics TurboThirty Speedo - Tekin's with regenerative braking (was is 410 or 411G something like that) Motor - LRP Black Wishbones - the solid plastic CML ones that went on the front of the early Yokes (Works 91-93 IIRC) with Kyosho casterblocks/knuckles to improve steering Tyres - TF330 & TR32 Wings - Plastic Yokomo in Fluo colours and big side dams (which nearly everyone cut down!) OR the Buds bi-level wing

Some great suggestions. Keep 'em coming!
No Tamiya LOL - not even for their good looking shells?

Anyone remember the Top Models 'Hybrid' - it was a 2wd car that cherry-picked all the best components - if I recall correctly it had a white nylon moulded chassis, Associated Stealth gearbox, Traxxas shocks & HPI 5-star wheels
 I think I still have a RRC mag somewhere with this car advertised

Ah I remember Top Models - I still have one of their 'Missile' motors and some badly faded pages of their offers from sometime in the early '90s.

That's funny, I was going thru some old paperwork and sketches a few weeks ago and found a bunch from high school era. I had written down a list like you listed, and my opinions of which cars had the best pieces and even how much the parts would have cost from tower hobbies. I will have to scan it and post it up sometime. Ahhhh...memories.

I used to use the parma T.Q and parma team spec brushed motors, they were a really good motor of the time, liked them better than the reedy motors, also I ran twisters, they were a good one as well, but perhaps the most under rated motor was the tamiya dynatech 02H, they were nice.....
