Here's a look at my new BRM I just finished.

Of course Parma motor and gears, repop rims, Parma rubber. And a body by my favorite maker, John Dilworth.

Enjoy the photos.

Sharp-looking GP car, Paul! 

 

Suggestion for a next build: construct a brass rod sports car with Deathstar horsepower. Use one of the Parma vintage bodies.

Runs great on my track smooth but I need to adjust gear little chatter.....
What dose parma have that's vintage? Please by all means give example.
I would like to try a hard body build but I need some photo motivation maybe some video to get into it......
Parma Paul
I really would like to earn my one posts spot like Pablo and Jairus have on the form. Love building and taking any suggestions for build and making them.

Here's the link to Parma's retro bodies: http://parmapse.shpt...es_retro-bodies  Here, you'll find a stockcar, 2 formula ones, & 10 sportscar bodies they sell. Take your pick. :)  I raced hard body hot rods last night at the local home/club track. Hard body cars can be a lot of fun but a hard body (model kit or resin) is about 2-2 1/2 times what a lexan body costs. For some hard body chassis ideas, look at Keith Tanaka's build articles posted on here. If you wish, use the appropriate motor bracket & power them with a 16D rather than the FKs Keith uses. PM's forged bracket might be a good choice, because it fits both style motors & you've already used them.
