..well it only took a year but i found a pair of shock towers thanks to a generous soul on here. I'm going to do a template on CAD based on the aluminium ones so that Fibrelyte or similar will have a template if anyone wants to buy some carbon fibre repros.
I Could just do with a new shell and wing now and she's almost ready to run, just need to find some vintage meets. Not sure if my Fabbiix batteries will still cut the mustard, or even charge for that matter but I'm going to try and do it properly old skool and not put lipos in, that'd way too easy!! If anyone out there knows where I could get a shell please let me know. http://cid-539883b88e21d688.skydrive...B88E21D688!145 Cheers Chris

Wasn't there a fully tricked up version of the intruder by Classic models? I always wanted one of those, but made do with my Lazer ZX in the end.

I got out of the sport in about '91 or '92 so not entirely sure but I believe mine is the original Intruder, and that there was a budget model called 'Adonis' and a hopped up model called the Intruder EX... I think. Mine had FRP shock towers originally but I snapped them.

Think Tomy developed the car then sold it on...
I tried to restore one a few months back, but had a nightmare trying to source bits and gave up. (bought an old Cat XLS instead ) There has been a few through ebay recently, paid £42 for a complete RTR car, but finding a good shell was a nighmare! |

And here we are! Anyway, Classic Models sure did do a super tricked out version of the Intruder. I raced one of the first ones in the country throughout a full Scottish Championship season. I can't remember which year it was, but I do remember getting the micky taken by my fellow racers at the time. 'What in the world is that?' 'It's a Tomy Intruder.' 'A TOMY!!??' 'Yup.' 'But they make toys...'etc etc. They ribbed me for about as long as it took me to pop it on the track and do a few laps.... Different story then.... The Tomy was a fabulous looking car, fast, stable and pretty reliable. Geoff, at Classic, then got his hands on all these amazing anodised alloy hop up parts from Taiwan (I think). I didn't use all the parts available, but, as you can see from the photos, I used a few. Fantastic car. Fond memories. Jimmy |
