Does anyone have a Latrax in their collection?

I want to know if they have every played with a Latrax R/C car back in the early 1980's. In addition, does anyone remember the different models that they produced? The Latrax brand doesn't seem to have a history, except that it was founded by Jim Jenkins who sold the company in 1980 after 2 years in being in business. I must admit that they are strange cars. Does anyone have them in their collection? They are not easy to find on ebay. When they do appear, I always miss them.

You mean something like this?

Yes. Although I was never a fan of the Latrax Alpha. I loved the Mustang Cobra and the Corvette.

The Camaro is a very tough car to find NIB. Latrax are quite rare these days and they pre-date Traxxas. The same guy who founded Traxxas also establish Latrax in 1977 and sold the company in 1980.
