I don't suppose you have the Track Test summary mentioned at the end of the article?
Unfortunately not here with me. I should have it somewhere, but most likely it's in my parents attic. One day i'll finally clear my crap from their house (I only moved out 17 years ago ) If i find the issue i'll add it to this thread

I have driven both my Mustang and Maxima plenty in recent times and they are both a nice drive even when raced in anger. I have limited my power plants to C027 stock motors but coupled with lipo cells and a descent esc these cars still get around very respectably.
Page 92 in particular. Just a scan would be fine. My dad claims he has it... he just can't put his finger on them right now.
There's a pic of me at 15. :D

The kids are getting their feet wet with some Tamiya builds for now. They've both flown the Blade mCX micro helicopter and I have the Parkzone micro Cub they will be trying soon.
All my flying stuff is still at my folk's house... and all the radio...
