Pacesetter Funny Car Resto
Pacesetter Funny Car Resto
Stock Pacesetter FC -- early, chain drive. Powder coated frame in perfect condition, BRP tires, Quarter Mortar (TM) Rear Wheels, Bob S. Front Wheels. Polished Aluminum parts. It has an unmolested Corvette body that I will eventually paint in a retro scheme. Lots of other projects going on right now.

Re: Pacesetter Funny Car Resto
looks great so far. Would like to see the body. There were two different corvettes. Basically the same, but just different molds. The older ones had a lip in the wheelwell. That would indicate an original Jeff Schmidt body before he left.

Wow that is a nice chassis, good pick in the wheels. I would like to see the body also.

Re: Pacesetter Funny Car Resto
Is that a home made/modified clutch bell setup?
Also what size chain/sprocket is that?
#25 or bigger?

Body Pics. I will eventually soda blast and fill all holes/cracks, then paint with DuPont automotive primer, basecoats and clear. I have all the equipment and skill, but no time. I have a full scale project is keeping me busy. I purchased a Quarter Mortar (TM) parachute, and I'll fashion a rear wing from aluminum when the time comes.

Re: Pacesetter Funny Car Resto
Yep, thats the good one. Looks to be in nice shape too! Cool car!! I have one probably built at the exact same time, but with the silver dollar rear in it. The chassis is a chain drive chassis though. I think its one of the first cars that recieved the rear end?

Re: Pacesetter Funny Car Resto
The first time I saw a 1/4 scale Pacesetter Funny Car was at an automotive swap meet at Stafford Springs Motor Speedway, CT. I was around 17-18 years old at the time and was purchasing parts for my first V8 Vega, but simply couldn't afford the R/C funny car. I think they were asking around $700-$800 bucks. I kept coming back and drooling -- hoping I could barter the seller down. The vision of that car with the body up and the tubular, zoomy exhaust was etched into my memory. That was many years ago.
Re: Pacesetter Funny Car Resto
That was my first Q-Scale car, too... a (ab)used Pacesetter Vette...
Mine was yellow, Silver dollar rear end. Later, I painted it black with flames. Frame was a bit "tweaked", never ran exactly straight, LOL!!!
Got radio interference at Colton, CA... Hit a laid-down telephone pole... didn't have it long enough to have any real pics of it . It was in RC Model cars in a group photo, but that was near 18 years ago.

Re: Pacesetter Funny Car Resto
T-Maxx #9000. If you search eBay in RC for aluminum fuel tank a bunch will pop up. I'll take a photo of the car with the body on when the rain finally stops (they're predicting Sunday).
Re: Pacesetter Funny Car Resto
Pictures with body on. Still working other projects at this time.
