originally he had a super rare vintage brushless associated stock motor installed, but that proved to be too hot to handle.

I want it bad

someone else will be hounded into running it. . .

hmm..................... i wonder who that could be.

I'm not playing in the sand box.

kinda reminds me when i got my first rc10- it was my fathers when he was a teenager. WHen i got it, i had no idea you could buy most parts off of ebay & tower hobbies, so i had to use tie raps/ duct tape/ super glue/ electrical tape. Whatever i had as a kid to keep it going. I even remember breaking the front right bell crank and re making it with a dremel tool and the back of an old plastic camera.

I do like Canada Dry, but my brother is the pilot in the family, both small scale and 1:1.

my dumb self never realized that this was the car under the 2liter bottle body...

This model (minus the coke-bottle body) sits on my shelf most of the time - just as an oddity / vintage survivor.

I dusted it off recently to scavenge a part - this thing still runs great!
I imagine the ball-cups would not last through a race, but I ran it around the house and it is a perfectly capable runner!
- One issue is that I don't have many batteries that fit this older/smaller bulkhead opening:
