Hello all,
Today I got a firsthand look at how much the alloy chassis of the Victa range has fallen over the years.
At the salvage yard there were various chassis in fairly wrecked and cracked disrepair (though I managed to get a decent early/mid 90s mustang chassis with good wheels, stuffed bushes though and rusty handles. Just need a PT engine that will fit and a blade carrier).
They ranged from the late 70s/early 80s (think the FC Corvette/Original PT Mustang here), late 80s, early/mid 90s and a writeoff late 2000s chassis. The quality dip was so noticeable even among wrecks. The early decks were so much more sturdier, thicker and well built, and everything progressively got thinner, with more plastic everywhere you looked. Even what was left of the axles were thicker on the old decks.
It was a real eye opener how much cheaper everything got as time went on.
