Dang that is old school

[vwjuice]

Wow, I haven't seen one of those radios in 12 years. I used to have one with my old tamiya f-150. Good radio, just takes time to get used to. Do you know the slot car controller trick?

That is old school for sure. I would love to find one of those bodies without the hood scoop/engine.
The Digger name was recycled at least once, maybe twice on different generations of chassis.

hey, thanks for replyies, yep old, & dig that antique speed
control on chassis, ya know i thought i have a digger, but got
challenger decal on it... got digger tyres...... i got the manuel
from 81 showin a challenger chassis , & mine different, maybe the
digger chassis, challenger body....wish some-one could verify what
their thoughts are, i got decals not used, a warrenty card,
futaba manuel, owners manuel, even body painting instructions...!!

Neat.

Now THAT defines "OLD SCHOOL".

I remember seeing Bolinks on the LHS' shelves next to the Sand Scorcher that I couldn't afford back in the day.

I don't remember those!

That's a piece of lost R/C history.

yep, OLD SKOOL.....probaly not gonna make run, too much NEW
technology to have fun with....
