Back to movies

Got one of my 959s running for the first time(the non-shelf queen) and took it for a spin in my driveway. What a great-handling car! Amazing for a 20yr old RC vehicle. Its completely original right down to the mechanical speed controller, technigold motor and rally tires. In a couple of weeks I'll take it to a local off-road track for some real rally action. Also ran my Mountaineer and vintage 280zx RM2 today as well, also all original, including the vintage hump-pack battery. I'll post videos soon. Love this vintage stuff.

Sorry, this is a Flash movie. - You don't have flash installed.

It is such a great handling car, even by today's standards. Very predictable. I was totally impressed driving it.

I just love that lush suspension and handling! any faster turning and you'd be on three wheels!
Why didn't you put down the obsticles like your Datsun 280ZX RM2 vid? thats what I would like to see

If you want obtacles for the 959, take a look at my more recent video of the 959 on a dirt track. Can't ask for more obstacles than that!!!
