This was the ad:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
RC Car $1.

I have an old school Rc Car with remote and tackle box woth parts, oil, and some tools. It needs a spped control use to have a Novake before it went bad, was a quick car when it was running. Make me an offer I'll seel it or trade it. You can call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I called..didnt ask for more pictures or details, made an offer..and drove about 25 miles and exchanged cash for goods. The black chassis with short arms and the black transmission caught my eye..the twister motor was interesting...as much as the plastic packages that looked like wheels and tires in the tackle box...

Not glued, but Mounted on 2.0 TQ wheels are another set of the Yokomo TR31 Hot Laps tires.

The standing idea is that auto racing was invented the moment they finished the 2nd car.
