Re: Traxxas Sprint Car
Nobody has yet mentioned how weird those look without a driver doll. Of all the car models that would seem to require one...it's THIS.
I'm not sure what looks dumber actually driving around...a modern cab-forward body that looks nothing like a real car, or an open cockpit vintage car model sans driver.

Of course you're right on that but I'll go one step further.Coelacanth wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2024 5:38 pm Nobody has yet mentioned how weird those look without a driver doll. Of all the car models that would seem to require one...it's THIS.

Can you imagine driving the Losi Promoto without a rider figure?

they both look dumb, but cab-forward is the undisputed heavyweight world champion of looking dumb.Coelacanth wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2024 5:38 pm I'm not sure what looks dumber actually driving around...a modern cab-forward body that looks nothing like a real car, or an open cockpit vintage car model sans driver.
WW1 fighter pilot figures are readily available to serve as driver of the 20s sprint car. Nothing fixes cab-forward.

Re: Traxxas Sprint Car
Without a driver, maybe it would be an even earlier version of K.I.T.T. than K.A.R.R., with this being the Knight Industries One Thousand: K.I.O.T.

Re: Traxxas Sprint Car
I found one locally for $600. Almost want to get it and see if I fall in love with it, or just flip it if I don't.
I build RCs like people would have done back in the '90s ..................................... if they had 3D printers.
