Prompted by @Nikko85's suggestion, here's the build thread, if you want to call it that.

But let's start at the beginning, probably around 1990 or so. This was the 2nd "wireless" RC car that came into our household, and it was used and slightly abused, but still had some life left. Dad used popsicle sticks, duct tape, and rubber bands
