Oh the temptation to tease a little more

can't be resisted

Is that better?

Just needs me to sort out wheel nuts and make my mind up.

And part with lots of cash

 

[Phil]

They are about £300 each plus vat.

 

[colin-mck]

Haha! Good one. Both cars will look awesome with their respective OZs. The wheels will be a pain in the ass to clean though! Used to be into RC car racing myself. Funnily enough it all stopped when it started fiddling with real cars. Great hobby though and taught me a lot.

The little cossie's always had the wrong wheels on it as they were missing out of the kit and they didn't have more so it got some Civic 5-spokes.

I was actually looking on ebay for real Focus RS wheels when I found the baby Oz's, they looked identical to what was needed but were tons cheaper than the proper Escort ones I'd seen at £20 just for 2

Not used it proper for years but the Cossie's just had some of the transmission casings replaced which had cracks in them and new motor & elec speed controller - it's got proper diffs and multi link wishbone suspension so is great for seeing how stuff actually works. Even tho it's an early TA01 model there are still places doing repalcement sets of parts.

I noticed how much fun it is cleaning the Oz wheel last night

Gave one a try on the ST today, only loose fitted but enough to let me drop the car off the jack and see how it looked

 

[Phil]

They look great Troy!!

Thumbs up from me.
