Went Shopping..!!

vectra

Bought myself a Hong Nor CRT Roller
CRT "Z" Brace
Alluminum Chassis Braces

BOUGHT THIS GO.28 ENGINE AND BIG BORE PIPE

Bought a couple of Hong Nor long life alluminum clutches and extra springs.
Extra yellow rear spoiler ( for those bad landings ) :eek:

What you reckon so far?

Made a start at setting up the linkages etc. tonight but had to go out to clean the club floor as we got a loan of an industrial sweeping machine.

vectra

Took it out today and put a tank through it.
Had three tanks on it before I got it ( the engine ) so now we have 4.

Getting there.

Anyhow
Was very impressed with it so far. Will have to wait till it is run in and tuned a bit to take it to the hills and judge it for real :rolleyes:

Few more pics later :cool:


**EDIT **
Here are those pice




LSP keeping it company



Anfd again


One or two of the LSP fitted with the Force.32 engine.:eek:

Plug

Jesus vectra I must say you do have a very good taste in models.
Are they bigger than monster trucks or the same size?

BTW are ye the people who won the 16 million?:D

vectra

These are 1/8 scale.
I think the revo was 1/10 but to be honest,There would not be much between them.

Unfortunately not, I did not win it.. Had big plans if I did win it though.
I was gonna buy about 15 acres of land and build the biggest and baddest rc palladium in europe..
Indoor everything
Outdoor everything.
onroad..Offroad..
Overnight camping facilities etc.
This was gonna be world class.
Well. If I ever do win that is the plan. :cool:

Plug

I'd just have an indoor off road track and ten car garage including a bugatti, but Im only dreaming like most of the country, good to dream though.

Forget about the Bugatti
Get yourself a good old Lotus Carlton.
LOOK HERE AT TIFF NEDELL DRIVING ONE..!!

Then as my everyday car I would have a 70's Opel Manta A
THIS ONE WITH A TURBOCHARGED VOLVO ENGINE..!! :eek:

I always say.. You can beat a good old classic for looks and performance..
