New to the forums and the hobby.
Wanted to post some pics of the car I picked up off Craigslist last night.
Most likely not the best one for a first timer, but once I saw this car I knew I had to have it. I LOVE the look of this thing.
Best I can tell (from the box!) is that this is some sort of Associated Racing RC200 or something around that time frame. Late 70's, early 80's.
It also came with a footlocker full of extra parts so I think I should have most everything to get it running. I know that I will need to buy a battery pack, as the seller took it off once this thing was in the box for a couple years and didn't want it to explode. That's my first real question. What would the best way to figure out what type of battery pack this thing needs?
I've sent off an e-mail to a local RC Tuner to get a quote from him to see what it would take for him to get it running. I would love to learn it myself as well, but also kind of just want to run this thing.
Thoughts? Tips?
