Just look at that large spur/ pinon drive train for max torque. They don't make'm like that anymore.
Just gotta love that tuned exhaust muffler; and an old Associated Car. This is what I raced back in the early 80's.

I've always wondered if the rubber raft was also R/C powered.
No, the raft wasn't R/C, and the Land Rover really sucked. I had a ton of those old Radio Shack, KMart, early toy grade vehicles. The only vehicles i still have from those days though are a couple of my Tamiya's, a Kyosho scorpion, and an early Associated RC10, that are all in pieces in boxes. All my toy grade stuff got tossed a long time ago. You guys are making me feel old though, posting Tamiya cars that came out in my early/late teens lol. The pics are all of Radio Shack/Tandy cars i owned. They are the Radio Shack/Tandy 4X4 truck (the actual name), the Radio Shack Golden Arrow, the Radio Shack Street Fighter 2 (the blue and white one), the Radio Shack Street Fighter, and the Radio Shack Turbo Thruster.

No, it's not remote controlled but it is cool looking.

Throwing in this pic just for fun . . . this is my wife Victoria, she's pretending to fix my R/C, but has no clue what that hand held grippy thingy is. (That's what she calls it)
