Some random shots of my first Madcap in action, about 22 years ago. We were both younger then...

awesome mate!! Great shots of it ripping up the dust! I like that even back then you went with the blue and yellow (neon?) colour scheme instead of box art😎

Are those yellow Astute CVA's on there? A rather large difference in handling back in the day?

Yep, great shots and great paint scheme. Nostalgia overload!

Yep, they're CVAs. I wouldn't say my Madcap handled terribly with the stock blue friction shocks but the CVA's were definitely an improvement. I really liked that car but its in the restoration/shelfer phase of its life now. I have another I've been slowly piecing together from parts, so that body may ride again.

I’m more and more leaning towards a Madcap being my next project. Feel like it would be fun with DT02/DF03 arms and hubs

i had the madcap as a kid. it was my very first rc that i built. i was probably 12 years old or so. i remember having to save up all my money to get it. i played with it constantly and the dogbones eventually wore out and would fall out. i had a very small yard, and by the end of the summer it was completely torn up. 

 

this site brings back so many memories.
