As some of you guys know, and might have seen in some of my pics I have a nice "Black" Bolink sport 91 car. Well the other day I got a nice touring car body (ute body) for it & have just fitted it to the car today...
Looks dam fine & will be better when I swap the rear axle(s) from the two Bolinks (need to swap them due to the off set - wheel sticks out too far) I also am looking & thinking of ordering a NEW axle/diff for the display car (the Bolink axle is needing replacing/worn the hubs out). It's only for show for now BUT it will be made up & ready to run in the long term.
The body has mounts comming out the front bumper (something different).

Got bored the other day, went surfing the net & found that Team Associated have now released a new 10L (mark 5) much like Corrally pro12 car design...
I see that SpeediModels have access to them they are $450 for the kitset. Need to add a motor & body to that...
I think that the PRO 10 class MIGHT be comming back in??? Has anyone seen or hearld that is the case??? I see the new pro10's run four cells, whats the motors & race times???
Thanks, can't wait for reply's comments.. Below is link to the new car...

If you have read most of my Blogs you will know I love my Bolink (pro 10's). The other day I found a shop in NZ that sells Bolink body shells, so I called them & they can also get Bolink spares & cars in too....
I have found a body that will fit my car & look really cool too at the same time... All I have to do is save & get it then get the flames & paint... We all know what it's like to get a new body shell & how much work goes into them....
One of my Bolinks has some diff parts missing & I need to get those to turn the car from shelf queen to runner (if I was wanting to run it).
Still trying to find the right parts to repair the old runner that I had the mis-hap with in my video. That looks to be off the runner list for ever as I have since found that it was a LIMITED edtion of Bolink cars... Oops didn't know that until after I had damaged it... Been using for many years...
Once I get a body & get it all painted I will post a few pics of it...
Catch ya all again soon. :)

I have house contents insureance. I went in and told them about my 3 main hobbys (pc repairs, tramping, Rc cars).
They told that the Rc cars is replacement value (old for new is what we have). What they said is they will need proof of what I have and full detail list... I told that have this pages & sounds like that us proof enough for them...
So the next thing I will be doing is uploading all new photos with much greater detail of all the parts I have at current time...
I think that we all should do this (where a each of us have home contents insureance) just to cover the in case anything happens...
I just wanted to make you all awear of this...
Comments/thoughts are welcome.
p.s. the other two hobbys of mine are market value only...

I now have TWO whole bolinks that are able to be used with only very slight mount of work. One needs the diff setting parts (still to find). Other needs a replacement part (but My temp fix MIGHT be okay for a short run IF needed!!!)...
Neither has radio gear fitted but, are full rolling chassis. I am planing to make a BIG change to one of the cars by how the rear end moves & put a 10L pivot point in where the old Bolink users a screw/tower slide bar setup.
So all up I have 3 cars that can run (in total) I will only keep it to just the green one for now as that is my runner & goes so well... Also it's too hard to get parts for the others... Too rare to find in NZ.
I also have loads of other parts that is starting to look like car number 4, but that is a great way to keep all the parts/screws together so that they don't get lost or chucked out (by the wife, lol)...
I will try & get some photo's sometime soon so that I can update my page(s).
Catch ya all soon. :)
