Great job Rich-Harry, you guys make a heck of a team. Thanks for the good read. I know your style Harry, and beleive me your going to really dig these babys,
after a milder motor is installed, and they are running along with the SCX classics.
and these are going to be a tough act to follow for car(s) of the year. Only downfall will be the availability. |

These are the most beautiful cars I've ever purchased RTR! However, someone in the UK really should be taken to the woodshed for these motors. I cannot
stand these things. Wicked fast, stuck down, and they'll keep up with a modern F1. Brilliant engineering.
So, for .70 cents, I'll simply re-motor. That all said, I love them....sitting still. Can't wait to re-do them. Did wonders for the Sharknose and Cooper! |

Wait a minute! These are collectible?
 
Whoops...I re-motored them, sanded the tires, and trimmed the bottoms of both Mr. Clark & Mr. Gurney. Sorry gents, not that you're portly or anything, but I needed to put a little lead in! 
Love these things! |

No...they are not collectible...but THIS IS!
This 14 year (give or take) old Open Wheeler from Scaley is what you want Dave...look at the detail!!! 
And that driver figure...unmatched scale detail...did I mention square tires that are harder than my ex-wife's meatloaf? Now...because it is you...I'll trade. This classic collectible...for the 2 junkers you have now. "They Didn't Say You Couldn't" - Smokey Yunick
