If you did get your better half a truck i would look into getter her a a flatbed trailer then a forklift truck then she can drive the truck around and when she is finished driving or is parked up you could load the trailer for her

Yeah they work quite well but you have to glue them or the bead pops off now and then . I have to say for running in the street where I live this car is so much fun as I can't exactly run my nitros

Ok so just had to register to throw out a massive thanks to everyone here!! My bymco has been sitting in the shed for 7 years with a stripped diff. Thanks to this thread (that took most of the day to read) im heading home to dust and clean the beast and lock the diff.. providing i can find the charger im hoping to have it running by the end of the week.
Its a bit of a mish mash and the shell has been misplaced but im hoping to canabalise another cheap unit for some form of cover
Thanks heaps as if it was not for this post it would still be hiding in a cupboard

Its alive!
Couldnt find the charger and i think the battery is kaput but i managed to grab a new nimh batt and a charger today.. was doing some seriously random things when i hooked it up... whent haywire as soon as i connected the battery.... thats when i remembered installing the on off faceplate backwards all those years ago hahaha had it roaring on the workbench and everything seems to be functioning a1!! Will be hitting the station carpark early tommorrow morning on the way to work
Still minus one body and struggling to justify spending $80 AUD on a new one... have started modifying a body pulled of a 1/10 porsche factory built toy just need to extend or replace the body posts
Will post some pics when i have it done

Photos so far, missing the Foam bumper and the whole thing is getting stripped down and cleaned on Sunday arvo, the body is an old school Porsche Carerra that i pilfered from a 'Toy' factory sealed RC. doing the last of the mod work for it to fit tonight
Had it out for a run this morning which went well until i found out that i had forgotten to tighten the pinion gear LOL almost lost it completely

Not actual lights just fake ones. I have finished a strip and respray of the shell just gotta reassmble it. Also seems as though the grub screw on the pinion is threaded (stripped) as it just spins and wont tighten. Any chance a non bycmo replacement would work? Shipping plus the excgange rate makes ordering from australia quit expensive...
Below is the respreyed body.

i had a brain wave this morning on the train similar theory but instead of worrying about packing out the tiny thread im contemplating using a coating of clear nail polish on the motor shaft, that way it should ever so slightly increase the diameter and lock tight, then if i need to change it i can just dab on a little acetone.
will give it a crack after christmas
