Picked this up a while ago from a crawler friend for super cheap. Couldn't let him know how bad I wanted it until I gave him the cash. Anyways it may not be that cool but I really like it.

Nice. Is the chassis plate painted?

The bumper is attached to the wrong side of the chassis...

thats true, but I always liked them on that side as they protected the chassis a lot better.

Yeah I'm sure it is paint and not dye. Also the bumper is on how I bought it. I recently pulled out my tub that has all of my vintage cars. This was on top and I pretty much bought it, came home and stuck it in the tub right before I moved. The thought crossed my mind to strip all the paint off the chassis and clean up all the white parts but since its far from mint I think leaving it alone gives it more of a vintage racer look.

Cool score I have a chassis just like that in decent condition I'm not using - if you decide to restore the car and want it let me know.

Nice score. That's a great looking body. Also, are those rubber tires?

Those are early TRC radial capped tires, before they went to a wraparound style. Most of the time the wheels were black. I didn't know they made white in that style wheel. Their older mesh wheels were available in white.

Thanks for the offer and I'll keep it in mind but I have so many other projects in front of this it would be forever for me to get to it.

only seen the black one's also kent, got them on a lynx2 ss. nice 10l looks cool in the blue

i still have an old set of red compound trc caps from my couple races at megatrak in new jersey back in the day with my agitator. they're all dried out and cracked, though.

I have some NIP fronts and rears ( foams though ) in that rim-
