Yes, I have a couple of them. It's the Pro-110. I don't have any history, but what do you need to know.

I have never seen it before. Only wandering about them, there is one in what looks mint condition at a local shop. It sitting in a box and I see it all the time, they want $100 but I bet I can get it for less but not sure if it is worth getting it.

For $100, I'd get it. They're very rare.

I heard this car was not competitive in it's days... and fragile too.

part finish and manufacturing tolerance looked bad to me. I didn't keep mine

Non competitve, yes....... fragile, yes...... part finish bad, yes......, tolerances horrid, yes........ I still like them, but I typically like obscure stuff. It's what it is worth to you.

Thanks for the comments.
It dues not look very competitive but it is an interesting car. I actually like it.
What I was interested in learning is how it drove and if it was actually use on racing back in the day.
I will try to get it next time I go.

If you get it I'd be interested in seeing closeups of areas like the rear diff mounting, front suspension, etc.
I have one new in the box that is missing the manual, so I've only got it partially assembled.

You just described all of MRP.

But they have their own niche in the history of the hobby like everything else.

those gears look to have a smaller pitch than the gears on the 110 I had
