Picked up another RC500

[scootmike]

Hi All

Picked up another RC500, this one was a racer back in the day.
Looks like it is pretty well loaded up with options, been trying to find info on them, not a lot out there.
The guy I bought it from said his Dad was the builder and he had a guy race for him, said he corresponded with Ron Paris and Steve O'Ddonell quite a bit, he is trying to find all the paperwork-letters his Dad had. The engine was sold years ago, ad it was supposed to be a screamer!

I hope to find a period correct engine for it, any suggestion on model and where to find one?
When I have a chance I will take pics of the extra parts that came with it for ID purpose's some were take offs, others are ???
Enjoy the sellers pics and if you have any info on the option parts please let me know.

Thanks
Mike

AWD is that a 2 speed trans. Still think the super tyger .21 is a good pic. H a veco .19 on mine it's fast but that would fly.

do you have restored this car ?

it's really interresting , i noted O'donnel spécial parts (blue anodized ) a 3 brake rotor kit ( titanium)

think that a REX 21 tuned by Ron Paris would be perfect on this car .

Thanks for help identifying the hop ups, not restored yet, did pick up a os 21 for it.
Car was raced in the 80's
Will not require to much to restore.

An option not necessarily a hop-up is the Mini-mag wheels with GP tires. Nice!
