Been enjoying the forums , Long story short I had a couple year love affair with RC cars in the late 90's ( I think )
Had visions of racing ( never happened ).
Since most of my posts will involve " what is it ?", " where do I ?" , " what fits ?" I thought I would share the one car I actually know something about, I bought it and built it . I had great fun beating the wee out of it ( my dog LOVED to chase it ) , even got to run it on a couple tracks , but never got to race it ( and probably would have got firmly trounced if I had ).
After a couple of years , winter set in , I stole the speed control and stock motor out of it , tucked it in its storage drawer and didn't even think about it anymore . Life happened and until this year I just didn't have the time to do much of anything except work . Now of course I am starting to enjoy RC again , got a new dog that LOVES to chase my Duratrax EXT2 . He needs a challenge.
Sorry about the ramble , here are some pics , first time this thing saw daylight in about 12 or 13 years . My photo skills are about zilch , and I did not so much as wipe a rag on it.

That purple dye job on the nylon seemed like a good idea at the time

The reddish blob in the battery compartment is the receiver , which I cleverly put in a balloon to waterproof it,
which has now petrified on there . and I do mean petrified .
The plan is to have it back together and running for the spring
