It has been a while since i have seen a gas on road thread.

I picked this up last week after passing it up a bunch of times. Thought you might like to see it.

What we did to our cars back then to make them cool. LOL

I spotted that the chassis has been lengthened , but that will be easy to put back to stock.















The past owner ran it once or twice a year . Anybody have a PDF manual for this car by chance?

A little off topic, but this is the last time I ran gas. Thats my first RC car , a Kyosho Vanning with a picco 21. I think this was 87 or 88 . My buddy ran a Landjump .

.....good GOD....get that Parma body off there and can it .........that is Team Associated blasphemy............cool find........was it on crack Bay??.i'm usually good at sniffing out the old Associated stuff..........Matt

Tore the car down and gave it a good clean. Big thanks to Al for the PDF files on the car. I thought more pieces would have been hacked to make that old body fit , but it went back together well.
Certainly nice to see that radioboard sitting up top all nice and white. I will be looking for a few items to finish it off. I have a lead on the original body for this car , i have to go out and track it down at a hobby store. More pics to follow.

Cool, looking more like a proper RC250. That was a good find you did yourself proud.

what material did you use for the radio board replacment? i have a rc500 that is similar to your car, and i think ill need to replace it's radio board too

nice car, and great restoration!
The rear body mounts look a little bent, but it might jsut be the angle of the pic. I found that 3/16" steel brake lines from the auto parts store appears to be the same material as the stock mounts. only a few bucks for enough material to cut a couple sets, and easy to cut to length with a tubing cutter or dremel.
