An 8 page review of the car and interview with Joel in the latest issue 20 of Velocity RC online magazine.

They put 1989 by mistake in the contents and on the article title page...oops

Maybe the coolest pic here ever. Jacket still looks new. I wish my hair was still magic enough to switch the part. Oh wait, I wish I still had my hair.

Believe so, think I've seen him on the podium at some Nitro on road races on RedRC. 1/8 maybe???
Think he is also President of Kyosho America.

Edit: Did a quick search, I guess winning a ROAR title a couple of years ago counts as a podium. :wink:...

hello Erik,

The only picture I have is the one that's from the website (rear of the car). That's the car he used in the 89 off road nationals. The picture was published in the December 89 issue of RCCA.

I've found plenty on his 1987 World's car but can't find anything on the car here he used in 1989. Is there a thread or info?

I clearly see Losi wheels, custom shock towers, looks like custom A-arms, not sure if those are Triumph or Pro XL etc..?...
