That's cool Scorp!
Great detailing.
Hey Andrew, when are you going to run your FAV mate?
Get it finished and run it at the Vintage meet at St.Ives on 10-11th December! Rubes is even making an effort to turn up, will be good to see you there! Bring your Stadium Blitzer as well.

Love the detail Scorp! Can't wait to see more pics.
Shocks! - I see Tamiya has bought out a FAV Oil Shock kit: http://www.rcmart.com/rc-others-tami...r-p-34591.html
By the look of the front shock mounts, it looks like they are more Wild One design. Wonder if they're worth buying and I wonder whether they could be mounted vertically. 2 mins later looking at oher pics - no, because the shocks are regular side mount, not top mount like the friction shocks on the FAV.

Are they allowed as a hop up in the Vintage racing class?

I reckon all the accessories will soon overtake the cost of the FAV
Not sure what I'm into most - RC, or scale, or both? Pulled the Jack and the Fire Extinuisher off the Scale Crawler, which I've built a trailer for my Rally car which will probably never get used
. Oh well, there our toys that we have fun with.

Postage was a bit pricey but Japan to Aust in 3 days! When I bought mine, no one seemed to have any in stock, so my choice was limited.
