Hi All, I'm new here, names Tan. So I was clearing out my parents attic and found my old Scooby (46301) Evo (46306) and RS (46312) so decided to relive my childhood/ early adulthood by charging them up and having a rip in my spare time (which I think we all have a bit of during this pandemic) Anyway long story short, the Evo wont turn left and responds to the transmitter sporadically- which makes it seem like its nuts! - a quick visual check shows no signs of damage to the steering mech but i have yet to open it up and take a closer look. The Scooby wont turn on, no matter how many different battery packs i have tried (all known to work by the way) and its transmitter wont turn on either. Same quick visual shows no damage but i havent opened it up yet- plan on tackling the Evo first as at least it runs. I have tried to look through old posts and came across the one (By CoolHands, January 18, 2003 in Vintage Tamiya Discussion) called "Where can I find out about QuickDrives?" which miramar helpfully posted a link to an older post (http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1738) but this link is dead. Can anyone help me/ point me to where i should be looking for more info on how to repair them? any helpful keywords, or phrases? Or anyone who owns these cars too and has been able to restore them and could share how they did it? Many thanks to all and happy RCing! Photos (1).zip

Hello I just purchased my first RC car which is the Quick Drive 2001 Subaru 1:10 scale . I was wondering if I could chasis swap it to a better performing chassi with minimal hassle. I want to use this car on the dirt in more rally conditions with jumps. Anything helps thanks in advance
