Re: THE FANTASTIC FOIL CONTEST
I remember converting one over to a real radio back when I worked in the hobby shop. Fun car. See one on eBay every once in a while. Tempting:)

Re: THE FANTASTIC FOIL CONTEST
You mean the plastic 2 stick it came with wasn't a real radio?? The radio is as big as the car! I remember putting a Twisters 540 in mine. Only took about 12 hours to get to the motor to replace it!gomachv wrote:I remember converting one over to a real radio back when I worked in the hobby shop. Fun car.

Re: THE FANTASTIC FOIL CONTEST
i think the foil was a lil to loose gomachv
also i know i have laid back and i think jkracing has laid back to let some other people get in on it
it seemed like jk and i where just sending stuff back and forth
maybe we can spice up the contest and post a pic of the prize they could win
to get some more players
just a thought
what do you guys think?

Re: THE FANTASTIC FOIL CONTEST
be honest, I am stumped...the red narrows it (in my little mind) to a few companies, but the frp chassis throws me off.

Re: THE FANTASTIC FOIL CONTEST
I tried to wrap her tighter but the old body literally crumbles! This is one that in am sure a lot of us have never seen-but i kinda figured the Aussies would get it tho:-)
I agree farmer its too few players. If nobody gets it by tomorrow I may have to resign until I get more bodies for my cars!

Re: THE FANTASTIC FOIL CONTEST
You got it Alex! Did the body falling apart bit give it away LoL
The only good part about this car is that I only paid about $25 for it:) the radio, gearbox, mount, speed control, and body are all garbage. Doh!

Re: THE FANTASTIC FOIL CONTEST
Hey that's cheating;) I like the look of that one on eBay! I saw mine listed on the US eBay site as a tamiya and had never seen one before. Figured it was worth a bid. After a little research it seems they were popular in Australia crazy car.
