My TWISTER attraction as well as Saiko attraction
See, it all started back in the day, about 1989 I think. I had a little spending money and I still had my first HotShot and there was an indoor dirt track not entirely too far from me to drive to and enjoy a Saturday night at the races. Well, I was racing in stock class and Twister had a motor for that, 4WD stock, funny thing was, they made me pull the prop shaft out to run the car 2WD only as there were not enough 4WD amateur racers, and there was noooo way I was going to keep up with the mod racers, so I obliged and they let me keep the motor installed. I did like the simple look of the Twister can and the price wasn't all that bad either. I later fell in love with the Pocket Rocket, something about a bright pink can with some just as neon yellow graphics that scream late 80's/early 90's.
Fast forward to nowadays and the invention of the internet thanks to Al Gore and here we are buying all the things we couldn't afford then for pennies on the dollar depending what it was you were after and who it was that was throwing it out there. I think I have all the Twisters, but the funny thing is, they only really changed their label color and the writing on the label colors, the endbells were not really stamped what they were, so I just bought what I found and put them in these cool cases also sold BITD by SAIKO. Every now and again they come up on eBay, but I think I have one of each of the type they sold.
My goal one day is to fill up all the crystal cases and have a full set of 75Mhz and 27 Mhz crystals inside these 4 boxes. I counted it out, they will fill up completely when I get all the 'legal' channels.
