TOPIC:

So, I need a 4WD vintage car to run at the IconicRC revival meeting in August. Since I only have 2WD buggys (except my PB Mini Mustang which I'm loath to run) I'd have nothing to do on Sunday (Sat is 2WD and Sun is 4WD). I spotted this.




Since I refuse to pay more than £40 for any of my cars, they were bound to be a bit of a snotter.

Waiting for them to arrive, but the current plan is as follows:

First thing - remove the electrics and throw them both in the dishwasher

The DT-01 (Fighter Buggy RX I think??) I plan to tidy up, add a Mad Bull body and an old AM radio that I have lying around and flip it back onto ebay as a RTR.

The Hotshot hopefully will come out of the dishwasher gleaming like a new pin and require no work whatsoever (yeah, right).



I spy a busted front ball joint and pretty floppy-looking suspension.

Sweet I have a few HS spares if you find broken bit's you need (no bumper though )

Feb 25 - Your order has been marked as dispatched and is on its way

3 days after paying

Then

Hi
Just to let you know the parcel was too big for first class so has had to go by courier please allow an extra day or so for delivery

So probably coming by Hermes and another 3-5 days

YOU:
Thanks for letting me know. Do you have a tracking number so I can check progress?
