Awesome!!!
The group photos kinda remind me of the old Tamiya video with a fleet of Toyota Hilux Pickup Trucks pulling a full-size (1:1) Toyota Hilux!

Do you run any of these? Just curious if they drive with the same ill-handling characteristics of the Grasshopper, Hornet.....um well pretty much any of the Tamiya cars.
That sure is a lot of Bigwigs.

Have you ever looked for the Firefox clone? One sold a couple months back on eBay, I still remember the rcca review of it. It was sold by Robbe back then. Here is the eBay number if you want to check out the pics

HI!... Seabass. I run the aluminum chassis one. The rest are shelf queens. I used to race at a local track back in the mid to late 80's with a modded Bigwig. I won a lot. It out handled most cars I was racing with at the time, but mine was modded.

Pretty cool! My first 4wd was a BigWig. Would love to refurb one some day.
