That's cool Scorp!
Great detailing.
Hey Andrew, when are you going to run your FAV mate?![sneaky](https://www.rctech.net/forum/classic_images/smilies/sneaky.gif)
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.![sneaky](https://www.rctech.net/forum/classic_images/smilies/sneaky.gif)

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

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.
