pb racing

coops · #1 15-03-2008

has anyone got any pics of a Pb ace, I use to have one when i was a kid but never got it going well due to funds, bad building and lack of driving ability, I cant find any info online about this car at all, Not even on google!!!

I saw one on ebay once - many years ago. They can't have made many as I've never seen anything about them since.. I think you'll probably find a few photos on tamiyaclub.com though.

very very very very rare !

Didn't that have a 2 speed gearbox and wasn't schumacher involved in the early day's.

GRIFF55 · #5 15-03-2008

yeh, 2speed, but you could get that for mini mustang and maxima

coops · #6 15-03-2008

I'm pretty sure the 2 speed was an option as i dont remember one on mine, but that was 19 years ago, sold everything i owned to buy it, then couldnt get a lift to the club anymore, i cant even remember what happened to it in the end. I remember it had the motor at the back, 3 belts and alloy housings. I always wanted a maxima, "life was so much simpler at 15"

. If I remeber right back in those days the mustang was so week we used to make a new front bumper for it useing full sized car bumper material .......once we had nicked the VW badge of the car first.....hmmmm them were the days. I had one of the first cats to the short one. Hell of a car for it's time!

My very good friend has a pb maxima hanging in his garage , he has never used it .
The only thing i dont think it has a body shell and its running white hotshot wheels.

ralls racing was my dads shop back in the mid 80's to early 90's, he made a few upgrades for the mustang and maxima to help strenthen and improve them they were oneway drvishafts and alloy front hubs, i have some driveshafts so will post a pic of them but dont have the hubs as havent found any yet, once the car is complete i will turn up at a york vintage race with it and be brave lol. if i can find any old pics of brens or mine i will post them for u as well
