This was my first 1/8 on-road car that I bought out of the Recycler back in 1983-84 for about $50. It was old back then and I did not respect it, used it as a street basher and apparently did not believe in cleaning it
Pulled it out of it's trunk today, what a mess - I should be shot (but at least I kept it).
Always assumed it was an Associated RC100......now I think not. So tell me what it is

The only thing associated is the separate rear pod,it's a modified rc300 pod. The car looks like a homemade deal nothing looks to familiar?

Brian, I've looked at the old books I have and can't find anything like it. The radio tray looks like the one that Reign79 is reproducing but can't place these particular parts anywhere else. I still can't believe this was salted away just sitting there all these years, cool car.

Man that's cool! Scary how fast 26 years ago was

The front suspension is a Thorp.....

Hey Lou, welcome to the board your 1/8 on-road knowledge can only help. Going to show some of your beauties I hope?
Al

ok, good to know - so what is the rest of the car?

and welcome aboard Lou

Don't know anything about it, but it's cool that you kept it. I'd love to see it get cleaned up. You're a stronger man than me keeping it locked away all these years. Make a nice shelf piece.

I know someone who could restore it

The box it's kept in looks like something a serial killer would keep his rusty saw blades in.

I was thinking how awesome that looked too, but was too lazy to type that much on my ipod laying in bed last night...

spoke to a mate in japan, he said the car is a homemade

thanks for the info Gary

and more trunk

I know someone who could restore it

But he would do such an incredible job he probably wouldn't send it back
