DWA

Post by staavos »

I have a couple of DWA 1/4 scale cars, but no manuals or anything. So if anyone has these or any info please let me know. Anything you know about these cars will make me happy.

I just saw a DWA 1/4 scale motorcycle on ebay USA. It looks sweet. Not sure though if you are into the bikes. I prefer the cars! 8)

That is something to try out, i have seen manuals on ebay so they are around. Last week i guy here in the netherlands told me he has some engine parts and two chasis from DWA, one new and one was raced for one season. I am going to check them out soon. But he doesn't have manuals either.

I will keep you informed about what i find. The stuff i am going to look at includes 2 chasis, the guy called them AM01. To me they look like the chasis that was on ebay last and that was from a BLU2. So much to find out about these cars still.

I finally went and saw the DWA stuff from this guy here in the netherlands, turned out he has a modelcar store and didn't want to sell all his stuff at all. I did get some information, he told me lauterbacher upgraded the DWA chasis and what we call the BLU 2 he named it AM01. I am still trying to get copies from the manual he has, but no luck yet.

Hello All,
I am also the happy owner of a DWA 1/4 car.
I am not sure about the model. It can be transformed from a Peugeot205 (offroad version) into a Formula (onroad version) car. Looks like they call it 'RAM'
I have only a little book, which explains some models at that time. (car/motorcycle). No scheme's or buidling instructions unfortunately.
Last week i bought a new remote control, and started driving the model again.
I am now only searching for tires since the current foam tires will definitely not last forever :-)
Best regards,
Ron

Hi all,
Please find some photo's of my 'project' on my website.
I will post as much as possible here.
I do not have a cover, but i hope to make a Porsche cover to make it a complete car in the near future.

I do not have a scanner, but will try do scan it and put it online.
It is nothing special, only the advertisement from 1988.
It is the car without body, and a description of the options.
Also thanks for the RACO hint !
Best regards,
ron
