Nice finds! Really digging the old linear servo. Don't make them anymore!

ya it hard for me to pass up yard sales
the gas car is a HEATHKIT it came with a gt-40 body when new
no body for me though but for the price i could not pass it up
it actually a 1/8th scale and f-en heavy
but i love the old krager style rims

you have to do more than yard sales, there are a lot of ways to get stuff! cheap just have to be real creative and leave no stone unturned! its out there just have to keep poking around
steering
nope just some hoopdy setup the pre owner had i just picked it up for parts and the cool rear shocks and cool shock collars!

Like Farmer said, you just have to dig deep to find the good stuff. Scour Craigslist every day, you NEVER know what you are going to find. When searching SPELL THINGS WRONG in the search! Sometimes people misspell things and searches won't find them. That's how I got the Kyosho Raider I just picked up, it was spelled 'Kcyosho'.
Also, I have an iPhone app that searches for garage sales in my area, and maps them out. We go every other week and try to hit every one on the map. Gotta get there early!

Are you sure you want to be sharing your secrets to the rest of the world? Next time around, you'll have that much more competition with the hard-to-find ads.
