Tamiya Mini 4WD's

Just dug this little guy out of a buried box. Forgot all about these little things. This is the one I used to take to an old hobbytown every Friday and beat everyone who raced. Don't know what happened to the motor or lexan body I had for it.
No one even stood a chance against this car on their track. And although I had a little secret I wasn't breaking any rules as there were no rules on what batteries to use. But now that its 15+ years later I guess I can let my secret go. Those special Rayovac rechargeable batteries I used and everyone bought thinking that was the ticket. Aren't really Rayovac batteries. They were Sanyos with the Rayovac shrink wrap on them hahaha. They must have held a higher charge or my charger over charged them cause my car was in a whole other league than everyone else's. it would sometimes jump track on the crossover and that was really the only time I lost after the battery secret.
This brings back many memories finding this. Anyone else have one back in the day
