OK so I rescued these two from ebay a while back I didn't do full build pic's for them but a few before and afters you might like I'll start with the GV-SC and let the pictures do the Talking












I pick up the Porsche body and the wheels cheap from Ebay plus I have some monster energy decals on the way to finish it off still need to rebuild the engine to complete

This 1 is the Duratrax ST, it had a bend in the chassis and not a lot else going for it. I think we have been able to save it though

Decals arrived today, so I finished up the Porsche shell on the GV

Ok then, since I have a few nice vintage Tamiya builds coming up I decided I need to get all my other projects completed before anything new is started Tonight it was the ST's turn for some attention The engine was our challenge and as you can see from the state of it, this would be an interesting evening I started off by stripping it down and soaking everything in degreaser, I also found a replacement exhaust which needed a clean too. While that was working I cleaned and prepped the screws for reuse, then after a gentled scrub all the main parts were ready to go. Once I had dried everything it was time to put it all back together that's when the spring in the pull start decided to jump out of it's housing needless to say 15min later I had it all back in ready to install After a little light polishing to some of the parts I've got her back together, now I just need to finish rebuilding the carb and she's ready to fit back into the truck

great job a old OS MAX

That's a nice cleanup. Porsche shell looks great with the Monster decals.

In my mind, this type of motor was blue or black anodized.
Your monsters are very pretty.
I like the 911

Hey you Unfortunately the Porsche shell was part of a bulk buy I did from a Joe public Ebayer and that is only one of the 5 which I'm unsure of It's not quite 1/8 , dimensions are 260mm wheelbase / 200mm widest point of f/r arches. The other's were 3 Tamiya and 1 hpi, I have 1 other generic shell which has the same wheelbase but is only 195mm widest point of f/r arches

Sooo I finished up the carb tonight, polished up the brass components then reinstall it onto the engine after that I was able to bolt the engine in I then set to cleaning and polishing all the linkages before setting them up with the servo horns, I made sure to trim the servo horns up nice so as not to offend anyone After I finished installing all of the links for the engine and steering I slipped on some fuel lines then cleaned and refitted the filter Now I just need to complete the radio gear ands she should be complete
