Status: offline 		Hi guys , just thought i would share this with you.. I picked this up from a fellow pinstriper who had it hanging in his shop for the last 5 yrs. He thought it was built in the 80's or 90's . It's 7.5' long and has a stripped down chain saw for power.. unfortunately it won't see any racing... I had told a friend on mine about it and he wanted it for his car (full scale) collection and to hang in his 26,000 sq ft garage at his house (that's big!). Just going to clean it up and touch it up and resell it so I can buy more Helicopter parts from Amain LOL! .

Status: offline 		yes those are cart tires, as for the size of the motor I'm unsure, It now rests among a bunch of other full scale cars in a private collection...All I really know is this thing was way cool!

Status: offline 		It had fairly large servos for steering with a servo saver device, and same size for carb linkage.. ... I kinda regret not ever running it. But with my luck it would have run away ... and took off with my profit! Now it sits high on a shelf overlooking Ferraris, classic cars,Harleys, Cigarette boats & Vipers (like 40 total) . The way it should be, radio control hobby kicks butt!!!!
