The MRC Road Winner is one of my faves! Classic! Plus I could have guessed it right away...

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:)

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!

Nope..but on my list too:)

Last one before I stick a fork in this 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?

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

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!

I'm going to guess a Spica Road Runner.

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!

Honestly, I only got it because of this eBay listing, which arrived on eBay Aus this morning... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Vintage-Spica-Road-Runner-RC-Car-Not-Tamiya-Kyosho-/200787245151?pt=AU_Toys_Hobbies_Radio_Controlled_Vehicles&hash=item2ebfda385f#ht_500wt_1322

But hey.... I win!!!

Now to find something that I can add as an entry..... keep those eyes peeled!

Alex

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.
