Oscar Mayer said they were building a “wiener rover” do deliver tasty sausage treats to the people of America and would we want some hot dogs. We said yes.
What you have here is 43-inch version of the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile with a high-end R/C chassis with an electric motor running off a Lithium Polymer battery. The thing hauls ass, has three locking differentials, and opens up to reveal wieners.
Great for PR but I have to say I'm less than impressed...it has a space for putting stuff inside and a silding door. "Amazing" isn't the adjective I would've chosen...
Was shooting for the KC Daylighter look, but ended up with some Cibie Super Oscar looking off road lights. They are from RAM products. The light up nice, have actual reflectors and are made of polished metal vs plastic that many lights are made of....

Nice! I love the old RAM lights. I had a set on my original Blackfoot, mounted on the rollbar. They don't stay shiny for long perched up there, I can tell you.
Here is my vintage Simprop radio, made in Germany. Originally this was a 40mHz FM version, as per the box, but when I got it the HF module inside was missing. I've only been able to find a 35mHz unit so far. I think that's a frequency only to be...

Simprop radios always have had a very good reputation in R/C flight competition. But they were also some of the most expensive.
The Car Profi was the very first radio to use functions as dual rate and servo reverse in car control radios.
BTW this...
It looks like it *might* have been assembled and run *once*. Or maybe never. Darn near perfect except for the residue on the chassis bottom from where the battery covers were glued on. This...

Good afternoon everyone! I just acquired (will its still in transit anyway) 2 870c/YZ10 but am struggling to identify which year / years they are. I beleive they are 88/89 but cant tell forsure. Can someone here help me identify them? Many thanks

Yes 88-90 870c, as matches the box. I can't tell if that is one car or two, but the car I see has a full rpm conversion, bulkheads and arms. As well as a top brace installed. A lot of good parts for sure and worthy of running without fear of...
I hadn't planned on showing this until I had a complete roller....but since it's slow....
I decided to build this one as a what-if car. If they chose the stealth car platform and made it available, there would have likely been a champ and a team...
