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.

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