I haven't seen one for years. I have to think they didn't sell too many. Looks like fun though. Not sure if it will be run or not.

Novel .061 same as the LMH helicopters used. Not a lot of HP but very interesting. Notice the exhaust throttle? Carb is just a venturi no rotary or slide valve.

Ah man, that's cool! Nice score! I've been looking for one of those for a while. Where did you score that one?

eBay

I think I am going to buy a current legend just for the freshening up parts and body. Hard to find anything on these showing how they shipped, ie which bodies were available

Really neat! The exhaust based throttle is cool! I love weird stuff like that

Stay tuned....I have another cox powered exhaust throttle car in the teardown stages now. And no, its not a Nissan or stocker circa 1988....

Nice find! My local hobby shop back in Minnesota had one of those on the shelf for ages. I picked up the box and put it back about a dozen times, was going to get it when they clearance-sale'd it, and someone else snagged it before I could. (Same thing happened at the same shop with an RC10DS Team kit...he who hesitates is lost. I did, however, score an Eliminator 12 kit for $49 from them once.)

If I remember, they just came with the same coupe and sedan bodies as the electric versions.

She looks a little better now with my eBay find body and tires. The lot was too good (cheap) to pass up, and the Body looks pretty decent (better than I would be able to do)
