Vive le Herbie!!!

Really been enjoying tuning these little M chassis as they each have their own "personality" and challenges to get them to run and handle the way I like.

Choupette is really nice. I love it. 

Some antenna tubes in orange fluo, that makes a nice finishing details for vintage cars although it is totally useless with 2.4G radios...

 

These arrived yesterday, a set of Sand Rover / HB tyres and wheels NIP.
The most expensive set I’ve bought so far, I’m blaming the UK govt. and inflation.
Only half joking.
I’ve got a few sets now of new fronts and rears, so I’m looking forward to adding these as nice finishing touches on some builds.
 

I also bought this Blackfoot sprue, annoyingly I only need one piece to complete my Blackfoot, but this was cheaper than buying the one piece second hand on eBay.

 

 

This little gem turned up today. I bought it from Eddy through eBay, no one seemed interested so I thought I’m having that.

Cheers Eddy. I’m glad to own another part of your father’s amazing collection.

I've got the same from lars when I bought his 6 wheeler. It's a nice body.

Today I got the upper and lower racing a arms for my Pontiac LeMans GT. These are all powder coated with built-in sway bar links and ready to put on. These will replace the stamped GM 50-year-old pieces on there now. Can't wait to install them. This should really improve its handling!    

Wahoo pretty nices pieces. You'll have a efficient front train. 

 

A couple of deliveries.
1. An SRB speed controller, it needs the wiring tidied up and the circuit breaker added. But that’s a job I’m fine with.

2. 3 speed parts, I had a whole bunch of parts left over from my original Toyota HiLux and Blazing Blazer builds.
 I bought these in an attempt to make up a 4th chassis.

These are the parts I had left.
We’ve got a bank holiday weekend coming up in the UK, so I’ll see how far off a rolling chassis I can get.

I know I’m missing a couple of crucial parts.
I do have a NIP rear axle casing, I just need the axle.
 I’m going to be short on wheels, but I’ll worry about that stuff later.
My intention with this is to have a runner. So I’m not going to get too concerned about how lovely it looks, at this point.
Cheers guys.
