Vintage racing has been making a huge comeback recently....vintage electronics with magic crystals not so much....doesn't mean I have any intention of making this modern, or brushless or even adding oil filled shocks. This one is gonna continue to remain basically stock and bring me hours of fun on the backyard oval.

You need to add a wooden clothes pin to your antenna, don't forget to write your frequency on it. Good times

Remember those "suicide charger cords"? Two alligator clips on one end and a Tamiya plug on the other end. Don't take your eyes off of that.
