How did these things go back in the day? I would have thought FWD would be an advantage on the loose tracks we had back then. They probably suffered a little on acceleration, but we didn't have crazy jumps to get over. I remember seeing the FF in RCCA :shock: and thinking Kyosho was onto something. ...

Let freedom ring!

Big place though. Nearly 50 000 students. None of my business, of course, but IUS in New Albany is much smaller and more affordable. The degree still says "Indiana University". We sent 2 there vs the big campus in Bloomington. At the time, we lived 10 minutes from IUS (in Georgetown), so ...

That is a great body, and well done! I think Kyosho in general had some of the better looking bodies. They often had a "fastback" design instead of just chopping the body off at the back like so many others did. It probably cost them a billionth of a second per lap, though, having more wei...

That's dedication for you..... or insanity..... not sure which.

It can be 2 things.

I am anxiously awaiting the part of the thread where Dinglem reveals that he has acquired the actual car and 3more like it

You probably already saw the threads titled "Speed Built by OK Models Lancia Stratos" and "OK Models Speed Built Lamborghini Countach". Your appears to be the electric version of those kits. RC10Talk member has 2 posted here: http://www.retromodelisme.com/voitures/u278-114/tomolu...

"How much more black could it be? The answer is none. None more black." -Nigel Tufnel Awesome truck either way, but I like the military green look better. The black shocks seem to disappear amid a sea of black whereas the green remain visible but in a very stealthy way. Since I have the ar...

This is a screen grab, not my photo or my meme.

Of course you haven't heard of it, it is "covert". Says so right in the pic.
