Re: Your forever car...
Can I have two...? I can have two, right...?
I have a Lazer ZX/ZX-R/ZX-RR that I've assembled from digging through dozens of random and open bag parts bins at an LHS that used to get the scratch and dent pallets from Tower Hobbies ages ago. That's getting a resto-mod treatment with some current parts to make it more durable and easier to replace the consumable parts. Then I have an Ultima Pro XL that I bought from a local fast guy in the early 90's. It had A&L shock towers and carbon fiber battery strap, the long arms front and rear, gold shocks, 48 pitch internal and external gears and 2.2" Triumph wheels. Oh yeah, and the solid plate with molded in front kick-up carbon fiber chassis. That shall never be relinquished from my possession. I'm in the process of getting it up and running again, but with a Lethal Weapon II and a few other mods.

Re: Your forever car...
Great thread, I've added a number of vintage 80's runners over the years but there's no letting my original PB Mini Mustang behind..

Hot Trick Frog isn't it ?
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

Re: Your forever car...
I might as well add my choice to the list. This is now the car I’ve owned the longest and probably the most time invested in any single car. Not my first RC but was easily the one I wanted the most when I was a kid.

Re: Your forever car...
One of my 10T's is all white, with black arms. Another is all black, with white arms.
I need to do some parts swapping.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

Ever notice the Frog face of the Red Prince chassis? It doesn’t require much Jazz lettuce to see it..ha!
