Decided to try and clean it up a bit myself... A few pictures. In the end I'm not sure if it could be fixed up! Pretty rough condition.

But the memories of the jumps... You know, two feet of air when you're 10 is pretty fun!

It actually survived an 8 foot vertical jump onto concrete from a maintenance stand years ago....

But back to the fixing up, I think I will leave this as is. A trophy for the shop shelf!
but I am interested in buying another one, but in good shape, still in box if possible. If anyone, has any leads where to get one, let me know.

And yes, I understand that it is probably not the most sought after RC buggy in the world, and to be honest the more I think about it, it was pretty useless off a hard surface. Even then if I remember correctly, I had to use rubber bands on the drive wheel for traction. But it's like your first love, you'll never forget it.

Anyway thought I would post a few pictures of it somewhat cleaned up, for all those that remember the late 70's and early 80's rc cars when they were a kid standing behind the car giving it a kick now and then to get it up a slippery hill.....

feel free to eave your comments, suggestions, or own memories of your first rc machine..
