Another great find.... this one I knew existed so set about trying to locate one. I haven't stripped it down yet to check the spec/wind, but it is based around a Yokomo modified, but basically has had a hole drilled into the endbell, through which a wick encased in plastic tube was inserted and filled with 'Mr.Cool' comm drops prior to the start of the race.
I had previously read a few early magazine articles on this set up from late '83, and eventually found a Nov/Dec '83 MG advert to match. After that an unopened bottle of 'Mr.Cool' appeared, and now the motor itself has come my way, albeit with a very faded MG label. Pretty cool (literally).

Kyosho's decision to re-release the 1/12 Fantom has really helped introduce to the world today an iconic model back then better known domestically.
Interestingly they picked the 1983 version and not the Fantom EXT. The 1983 Fantom had basically no...

I'm also extremely impressed by your photographic skills. I'm the world's worst photographer. I can't seem to take a decent photo to save my life! :(...
Yeah we are all individuals if we were all the same the world would be a dull place. I can see why for example some people will keep a Kit new un-built in it's box but i like to build them and display them on the shelf and i know by building them...
