Hi Guys, I'm making a vintage bus bit for my father in law. I've used the back end from an NKOK Chrysler Crossfire (you know the dual celled diecast body things) and the front end is a cyclona bit clone. Having a problem knowing where to attatch the white steering wires to. The non painted wires obviously attatch to the "L" & "R" blobs of solder on the PCB. The other blob of solder with the plastic blob on is where the ariel attatches to. In my rush to dissasemble the NKOK I forgot to see where the other steering wires go to. Has anybody got any idea's or has got an NKOK that they can send me a piccie of so I can work out where the white wires go. Cheers in advance.

From a UK company
www.little-bus.com
They make resin 1:64 vintage bus kits (all UK models) so if you fancy a red london double decker bit that's the place to go

Dude, great looking bus, finish that sucker up and make sure you enter it into our truck contest. Oh and I know jack about stearing wires, but if Hugh and Cdub say yes, then I would take that as word.

Hey CaboWabo are the pimps down with vintage modding?? Should I lower it & put on some german alloy's and some flames?? (I don't think my 70yr old father in law would be into that). I'll post piccies of the finished article but I'm not holding my breath on it becoming ride of the month!!

Oh God Yak.... please. We here are all about one thing, and one thing only, 1:64 rc cars above all else. I doesn't matter if it's a pimp that made a 1:64 1989 Toyota Carolla or a flamed out beast lowrider w/ naked chicks in it, we love it all. I mean check out this weeks Ride of the Week.
Do this bus up like your father would like it and trust me, it will be well recieved. Again, I am looking forward to seeing what happens here. GL man.

Dude, fuck yeah... not speaking for Cabo, but I can tell you that I can't be the only one who's looking forward to this thing finished in all its vintage/authentic glory. Keep on truckin', yo... this project is cool as hell.

Ditto to all that.
Vintage is cool - not everything should be bling bling.
I think overall, we like originality and good jobs - don't matter if it's a My Little Pony theme (well maybe) or a HotRod them or a Turd theme.
I'm totally interested in seeing this baby finished up all vintage.
