Swap meet finds

Post by aeiou »

Well, Shodog's recent flea market luck must have rubbed off, because I picked up a pretty good deal today at the local HobbyTown's swap meet. One of the folks there had a few vintage pieces that I spotted right away. He turned out to be a guy I raced with back in the day at the Sugar Bowl and Silver Wings tracks. We had a great time talking about the good old days, and $80 later, I left with this lot.

I picked up the little bench vice from another guy for $1.

You made out like a bandit on that one. :mrgreen: I love the wing mounts and buttons on that graphite. Is the crossbar on that battery cup on the graphite car CF? Looks great. :D

Sweet deal there! I am sure you have nothing planned for that DD Composite Craft chassis so go ahead and package it up and send it to me :mrgreen:

Congrats on the find, you definately got an awesome deal.

Time to start looking at the flea markets and swap meets......

I pretty much gave him what he was asking. He'd already been there a while and was very glad to get the cash. Based on the crowd, that stuff would've probably ended up back in his garage. Most were focused on the RTRs and helis.

It is. It looks to be a piece of CC material.
