This car hold loads of memories for me! I started racing properly with one of these in a village hall about 18 years ago. The crappy resistor on a lead charger, the single sheet of glass fibre for the chassis, the solid rear axle with no diff, the complete lack of suspension, gears moulded on to the rear wheels, the pain-in-the-ass mardave mechanical speed controller that soon got dumped for a Tamiya version, the half decent shell that looked surprisingly good with the fake netting in the windows, and best of all the price! £38 for kit, including motor, battery & charger, all you needed was radio gear. Spares - 40p for a bumper! £4 for a shell! I miss this class.. .loads of memories! Going to make this up & then write a fuller description later..

Love it !
I still have the lap record at my old club of 72 laps in 5 minutes with one of these !
Mine takes pride of place in the glass cabinet, above all my Tamiya cars, that
