I went on a rescue mission today...

[CertifiedMike]

I found an ad in Craig'slist fir a free rc nitro car that ran 10 years ago when it was put away...

Throttle is stuck, it will need work, come get it.

Pic was dark and useless so I messaged to ask brand.
HPI.

So me and the Skipper went out on a 3 hour tour to scenic S Paris, Maine.
Theres Oxford Casino, Oxford Speedway
Oxford Dragway ( no you can't get a discount for dressing up )
An animal rescue and a few other things not far from where we stopped.
Could turn out to be a hoppin weekend some time.

Anyways...
2WD 1/10 HPI truck w/Nitro Star engine

Pay no attention to the awesomeness from wing, bumper, skid/metal death plate/front bumper/ankle chopper.

Custom!!!

The radio is an old Xtal, trigger style radio.
I can get pics of that too.

Any idea what I just picked up???
I just got home. I have some stuff to do so no research til later unless you can beat me to it.

Time to work on 1:1 stuff.

Nice score. Looks like an old firestorm.

Very cool! Do you have any info on the engine? Seized or not? Hopefully not too much needed to get it going again

From the picture it looks seized up. Best to send it to an hpi collector like myself.

In case that doesn't work out, I'll gladly wait next in line across the atlantic

Free is the best kind. A few years ago my sister did a eviction clean up and there was a Traxxas T-maxx in it that she gave to me.

It does seem to have compression quickly messing with it.
There is something wrong with the pull start by the look of it.
The carb doesn't move... I think someone was trying to adjust the idle with a hammer.

I'll look into Firestorms...see what I got.

Free def is a good place to start at... we'll see if it was worth the gas and time shortly.

Thanks everyone!!!
