having not gone to a oot fair for the last year up till last week, i have to say they're defo improving from what i saw.
i got a rotary phone for £8, a guitar body former for 50p, a stone roses cd for 20p, an egg chair style sphere calendar for £2, a nice jvc ghetto blaster for £1.50 and some dodgy looking 80's face for £1!
half has gone on ebay to be honest as I'm in the advance stages of unemployment otherwise it would all be kept!

blimey, they've improved since the last time I was at one then. It was all junk, I guess there was a while when people put all their "good junk" on eBay. Used deep fat fryers with the oil still in, manky chav clothes and the like. Not nice. Might have to start booting again if its picking up... Calverton can be good, i usually pick up books and the odd item of clothing, its right next to the workshop so handy for dropping stuff off, a quick pootle up to the limes for a decent fry up afterwards is a good sunday treat too. |

Prices are ok at Calverton but for absolute tat selling, Colwick is King! There are a lot of people who are not long in this country here that love to buy your tat! Rysz. |

What chassis is it? If you don't know, post a pic. I may have some spares.
If not, I'm sure it will be a cheap fix.
Ive some super cool wheels/body i could be persuaded to part with for a few beer tokens too.

this body/wheels. Its a little battered now but still ok really  lights don't work anymore. I imported the body/wheels from japan and painted them up, cost a bloody fortune but they don't fit my cars now. I may buy another chassis to put them on but could be tempted into not bothering  Should fit yours no problem. They have no tyres though. |

Ill get a couple of new pics up too.
Can yuo get a pic of your car up with no body, then i can tell you what it is and we'll know if the body will fit.
Get some pics of the damage up and ill see if i have any parts for it too.

You can't see the damage, it's steering failure. I think the hub on the servo will need replacing. The servo still operates, but there is no movement from the wheels. Chassis wise, it's one of these...  |

Its a TL-01 chassis. Sounds like you stripped the servo horn, cheap and easy fix then. Take the horn of the servo and see if the little gear on the servo is ok. If not, new servo. If it is, new servo horn. Get one for your make of servo as different makes use different splines.
I may well have one, if you could take a pic of the servo from the top so i can see what shape the horn is ill have a look and see if i have any suitable spares.
Body will fit fine. I fitted mine with velco so you'll have to make holes in it for the body posts. May need longer/shorter posts too.
As i say, ill dig it out, see what condition its in and post some pics.
Its not too bad but not perfect either.
Wheels are fine.
What do you want to do with it? Wheels have drift tyres on but i can take them off if you want to drive it properly.

Cool. ;D
Those tyres will be fine, I have others if I need them. I'm going to put the prop back in so it's 4x4 again too.

Ok. Drift tyres are hard plastic though, you cant drive normaly on them, its constant wheelspin. ;D
