That and as I was going through the RCCAs of the time, I never saw Viper listed in the race results. :D

That is a car not seen often. Very pricey back then. I don't recall seeing any magazine reviews of it either. I like the quick change aspect of it. Very neat!

Got three Megatech Junior transmitters and two Kyosho chargers. All three transmitters have good antennas, battery holders, and battery covers.

Those in particular?

27mhz Futaba?

Or just 27mhz transmitters?


I have several nice 27mhz AM Airtronics and JR transmitters. The nice thing is that nearly all hobby grade 27mhz is compatible across brands. Just avoid Xmods transmitters, but the crystals still work.
