Although the truck seen in this image was not exactly mine, this was the truck that really started it for me many years ago. I was a teen when i jumped on the city transit, and went to the local hobby downtown at the time, to get my 1st real hobbygrade RC. Then go back home and try to figure out how to put it together as my so-called father would have nothing to do with this thing. Saved money from any source i could just to get this primitive beast!! lol
Basically sits on a tub-style chassis made of ABS plastic (brittle as pretzels), friction type shocks (basically a plastic rod on a spring that went up and into the chassis),plastic unpainted hardbody, etc... But it was the crappy electronics that made it move! hehe!
manual speed controller, Mabuchi540 motor.... wow...this brings back memories for sure! _________________ Terms & conditions ~ Please read
