Thank guy's for sharing the stories and information! When I was a kid RCCA and the occasional copy of Competition Plus were the only magazines I had access to. Novak, Trinity, Reedy, and to a lesser extent Tekin and Twister were common place in the ESC/Motor market and dominated most of the press. 1...

I just read through this whole thread. It's almost impossible to believe that you started and ended with the same car! The results you got are nothing short of amazing. I don't know if I'm more impressed with your ability to get rid of all of the super glue or your ability to machine a piece of carb...

GeneralZod one of the be best in the business!

Beautiful body and nice job on the fixes. I would've used Shoe Goo instead of CA glue on the Lexan though, because it will flex whereas CA glue dries perfectly hard and may be brittle. Shoe Goo is what racers use to strengthen the insides of their bodies by gluing on patches of drywall tape in the c...

That Vette body is going to look great on this car.
Great choice for colors, by the way. Can't wait to see it finished.

Mark Thanks for posting the link to the very early Demon 2 ESC. This is my museum. Glad you like it. I just got notice of Nick´s passing today, when I received a message from his daughter.

Just acquired this . its from all the way back in the 80s, me and my brother raced against it often at our local track so we were stoked to score it. He ran it mostly in oval modified with a vette body so we are gonna to a full Kyosho Salute tribute/resto here. Probably use no rere parts. Gonna get ...

I just want to say that this post has amazing tech tips on bringing this type of chassis material back to life. I love restoring as opposed to buying brand new every time. I will probably messaging you in future for you process when it comes time. Gorgeous rig too!!!

How's your progress so far? I would like to someday add one of them to my collection, but they are getting harder to find for a reasonable price. :? Its built but no body yet, I forgot to upload finished pics. I wish I knew you were looking. I just seen a kit on eBay for 160 missing rear wheels. La...

Any Manowar fans?

Sinclair petroleum? With the dinosaur. Or maybe Heineken?
