I ran quite a few iterations of Houge trailing arm cars back in the late '80s / early '90s and they were and are by far my favorite. In my opinion, nothing looks cooler than these type of cars.
After returning back to the hobby recently, I have since regretted getting rid of all my RC stuff from when I was younger, especially my original Houge car with the highly sought-after aluminum version arms.

I have even had the honor of exchanging emails with Mike Houge who is now busy in full scale racing with his son Lucas. We chatted about the original designs and he offered help with the project best he could, as he is very busy.
Some of you may or may not know this but I also came to find out Mike did all the design and mold work for Andy's RC as well. Pretty cool...
Without further delay, here is the culmination of a bunch of hours of design and manufacturing work:
