Here's a caption that seems to suit both the Brat dude expression and the movie:

"Damn...no matter what I do, I just can't shake this Charger!!"

I'm just not digging those grey wheels...the style is too high positive offset for my tastes, for a muscle car. I think HPI nailed it with their vintage VTA wheel series: https://www.hpiracing.com/en/part/3822 Kyosho's wheels are so-so, but could be made to look pretty close if you painted the wheel...

I think that plate turned out perfect for the shelf. I wouldn't change anything.

It's better to just post pictures, or else we're playing a guessing game. Someone could do a time-consuming write-up of all the distinguishing features of random Kyosho 4WD nitro cars, or you could post a few pics and questions will be quickly answered.

For instance, these HPI vintage 5-spokes look very old school! They have them in 26mm and 31mm widths and in matte (pictured) and black. HPI Vintage 5 spoke wheel.JPG And the tires for them look very scale as well. HPI Vintage tires.JPG A while back, someone posted this Penske Camaro on ebay. I thi...

That's like asking "Which of your children would you sacrifice?" The one I'd keep would be either CYANide or Barney, my first two custom-built Optimas...both took so much time to plan, re-engineer and build...probably I'd give the nod to Barney because you could drive that car anywhere. :m...

I'd like to own the CAT re-re, but my answer would still be the Javelin...regardless of criteria.

Nice Turbo Mid SE there, looks like a good basis for a thorough restoration. The SE has countersunk holes on the bottom of the chassis plate.

I'm pretty certain they're not the same person. Pargu is in S. Korea I believe. LOHAS is from Taiwan, and I don't think they're still making products. A bit of forum research turns up that member emerson_shih represents LOHAS. The website link on his profile page is no longer working.

AYK did make some pan cars, and they were fond of using those red ball-ends, but I can't help further with the I.D. Thanks Coelacanth, I thought those red ball ends looked like AYK. I have a Buffalo with them as well, but wasn't sure if another Japanese RC company may also have used them. Kyosho al...

Here's a link to my Marui Shogun resto, pretty much the same car. Maybe it might be useful. I know I had to deal with a cracked bumper mount on the rear gearbox too, fortunately mine wasn't broken right off...what a brainfart Marui engineers had when they figured it'd be a good idea to have hinky-di...

I would think WD-40 is quite unsuitable as a protectant, I've never used it as a protectant. It's an excellent degreaser and moisture and adhesive remover. As you said, it leaves a film residue behind which has an unpleasant smell and actually attracts dust. As such, WD-40 isn't recommended as a lub...

He makes several designs, I liked this variation on the classic 5-spoke design. https://www.rc10talk.com/download/file.php?id=74866&mode=view Those are some darn good looking wheels. They would look good on a ton of different cars...modern or vintage. What tires are those on the front? I wish P...

Good luck with the move, Jeff. I've been to the Oregon coast once for a family vacation when I was in my late teens, I've been through Washington state but I honestly didn't know Idaho shares a tiny piece of the border with Canada. Thanks to Google Maps for the enlightenment! You'll be pretty close ...

I do have the almost irresistible urge to get it running, just once. I cant seem to find any video of one of these things running, and am super curious as to how they drive... I get that same urge with every project I begin. It may take years for that urge to be fulfilled, but I just can't do a bui...
