Its alive!
Couldnt find the charger and i think the battery is kaput but i managed to grab a new nimh batt and a charger today.. was doing some seriously random things when i hooked it up... whent haywire as soon as i connected the battery.... thats when i remembered installing the on off faceplate backwards all those years ago hahaha had it roaring on the workbench and everything seems to be functioning a1!! Will be hitting the station carpark early tommorrow morning on the way to work
Still minus one body and struggling to justify spending $80 AUD on a new one... have started modifying a body pulled of a 1/10 porsche factory built toy just need to extend or replace the body posts
Will post some pics when i have it done
