I remember seeing that movie!
I allways thought the car was pulled or something

The movie came out just around the time I got my first RC: a boomerang and I just couldn't believe there was anything that fast around.

Who made the vette cover? Parma? Looked super in my memory.

there was a red Vette body not so long ago on the bay, it went for small cash IMO

This info is still on the Associated site:

They claim it's the original, but looking at the chassis I'd wouldnt be 100% sure

gotta love the dubbed in nitro sound! LOL.

The other cool and grossly overlooked r/c in movie scene was from the Manhattan Project where the kid uses the Tamiya Brat to steal the uranium.

Check out the preview for "girls will be boys". You know you watched this show.

I know it's not an RC10 but I think it's kinda historical.
