RPS Yokomo SE
I finally got one. Built and never run, even.
My wife doesn't know why I'm running around the house like a little kid on Christmas morning. She wouldn't understand anyway.
Oh my.
My Holy Grail of vintage R/C cars.
Needs a body an a wing, which should probably take the other half of my life to find. But who cares? I GOT ONE! wOOt!
I know Jay has at least one. Who else has them here?

I did something I don't normally do... I made an offer to someone on eBay to change an auction to a Buy It Now. My thought was, if I didn't do it, someone else will. All is fair in love and war. At the price I saw the last new/unused one sell for last winter, I needed to take a shot in the dark, and it worked.

The body, itself, is one of the rarest dirt oval bodies ever made. The fact that it was Andy's handiwork for a Team driver and has never been used is jaw dropping. This car was built for a big event at Radio Controlled Hobbies in Costa Mesa, CA, as a display car for Checkpoint and Andy's, and sat in a case until now. Twenty freakin' years with a body on it under glass display!
For the price, I'm shocked. I'm expecting some rust or even broken parts on a car this old, but it looks super clean in the photos. Now to get on my search for period correct electronics. I have some photos somewhere of the World Championship Gil Losi car somewhere—I need to find them. Might need to do a replica...
