well i finally got around to getting some pics up of my prototype durango b4 chassis. i also took a couple side by side shots of the durango chassis next to a associated b4 chassis so that you can see the differences. i also show the damage to the front posts pf the durango chassis. i am currently working on having all the posts remade. after that gets finished i will be sending all of the parts off to be anodized before final assembly using a nib factory team b4. and as luck has it the ft b4 kit i picked up has the new style shocks so i wont have any problems with the seals. well enough rambling and on with the pics!

Well i have finally decided to put my vintage 1/8 scale team associated rc500 up for sale. i have attempted to take pics from every possible angle to show the car in detail. the pictures speak for themselves.

i am not a nitro guy so i do not know if the motor will run or not but the motor does have compression and feels smooth turning over.  so i do not see any reason it would not run.

the engine that is in this car is a HB  .21 Grand Prix. it was made in w-germany. from what i have found is that this engine reliably turned 26,000 rpm. sadly though parts are no longer available for this motor and the company that made it has since been bought out.

Ever since i saw the tiny pic of a durango b4 in the july 2005 issue of rcca (page 186) i have wanted one. yet over the years i have found very little about them while searching  the internet. here are all the pics that i have collected over the years. there is only 20 pics but as you can see this is a sweet buggy. i am working on gathering more info and will soon have a durango section in the downloads area. there won’t be a lot on this chassis itself but i will try to gather everything that i can.

i would like to tell everyone that i am sorry about the downloads section being down for so long. this happened because of an update error. the author of the updated code has been out of town and unreachable since i found out that the downloads section was not working. my limited knowledge of php and java coding caused this issue to drag on. but i am proud to say that i did in fact figure out the problem and was able to fix it rather quickly once i seen what was wrong.  so now that its back up you can download the files that you need.

the download section has just under 600 pdf files ready for download. i have personally went through and looked at every single one of them to make sure that they are named correctly and are in working order. i also have a lot more i will be working on checking this weekend as long as my jump drive arrives in the mail tomorrow.  i am hoping to be able to get a lot more files uploaded asap to the site for download. so if there is a manual that you are looking for and i do not currently have it keep checking back because it may just be here soon.

on top of all the files i have personally scanned or converted to pdf format myself i have had a lot of help from named carl. so carl if you read this i would like to thank you for helping me acquire all the new pdf files. this is something that would have taken me forever to do on dialup and that is if the files were still accessible once i got to them. i think that everyone in the r/c world that needs these files would like to thank you also. this means a lot to us all since some of these files would have been lost forever.

ok enough with the mushy stuff. i would like to also let everyone know that i am sorry that i haven’t been posting much since i started uploading the files for the download section. i operate 5 other sites also and have been needing to update them all. this has been very time consuming to say the least. some of them are taking a lot more of my time than i would like, but i will take every effort to try to keep up with the demands. i have a lot of updates i need to post so i do need to get on the ball.

sorry its been a while since i posted any updates. i have been busy with gettin the new downloads section filled up. (i still have a long way to go on that job)

anyway here are some updated pics of the s2. im glad that this project is just  about done. that way i can focus on finishing up some of the vintage rc10s and start racing again.
