That Hornet got my vote , the affordable dream literally held together with hope and cable ties.

Love this thread, it reminds me of cars that are "run hard, put away broken"

Its all good Zed! I just like to see it as the cars in this thread live crazier lives than many of their nicer siblings. I definitely feel that RogueIV made a solid point also about tamiya vehicles, bitd they were treated more like traxxas and arrma cars are today.

It's okay, you can be both.

And just remember. Just because we're laughing with you, doesn't mean we aren't laughing at you.

I predict that I will have passed on, and about 15 Schumacher buggies will show up at the local Goodwill. One thing that might happen: some Power Wheels type ride ons for kids are RC now.

I initially misread the date as 2025 instead of 2035. Why is everyone planning on dying this year?!?!

Losi XX-T/XXX-T/XXX-NT dogbones.... with the yoke on the bone they should measure like 3.5in. pinhole to pin.
