Got a nice vintage radio and high performance motors.

Thanks Todd! Going with an old school red paint job and decals.

BTW, I could say the same about your collection! LOL.

Thanks Flo!

Clearly made for MRC by Futaba. Sometimes I cannot believe what people will "Throw into" an deal when you buy an attic lot of RC stuff. This one was a surprise when I made such a purchase a while back... 

I will use a stronger, newer steering servo. 😉

Perfect idea to keep the red original version of the clod. I restored mine some years ago and put it the original version. But last year I broke the front bumper.
It still has its original servo who work well and they are basic graupner 505. They are still working same after abuses of a 8or 9 years old guy who tried wheelings jumps and water runs. 😁😁😁. My dad made a 3 aqs 1300mah adaptator with 2 magnum motors. I remember some nice wheelings. I grown with lunch, clod and avante when I was quite. I still remember the first run with the lunch when the body wasn't paint. The first wheeling on the parking was magic

Built a Lego Speed Champions Ferrari 512M today...




Building expeience was much better than the Countach. On the 512 the parts is holding fine together, not can be said for the Countach.
Even worse is the two pack of AMG. I helped a mate build the G-wagon the parts was not connecting well at all. Every time you picked it up, something fell off!

The 512 is very fun to build. My wife offered it to me some monthes ago. The countach is not good? I wanted it... Try to find the westfalia T1 it's awesome.

Built the Lego Speed Champions Ferrari F40 today..



And installed lights with fraction of the cost of those lights on the market.
I used 4x 0402 smd leds, CR2032 battery holder and a pair of 3x2 magnets.




To turn the lights off, I just remove this half round brick..

The NSU body has been sitting in storage for probably 2yr now. So decided it was time to paint. This the biggest body shell I've painted. And i don't enjoy putting on window masking..... But got it done. 

Still need to do silver for the trim strip. And then some tidy up, thankfully not too much seepage or over-spray.
