It tis a glorious garage find. I got this vintage RC300 for 0$. Of course, it was a mess when I got it since it had been boxed for the last ten years.
At least I have a pretty box to look at. No manual for it, but I found one online. I don't know if newer pan car wheels will fit it. I certainly hope so, because once it's running I'm going to use it as it was intended to be...ALOT.
Crusty engine, yes? The prior owner claimed it was a .21, but I think its a 3.5 cc.
K&B engine with a McCoy slide carb. These 2 pics were taken after cleaning the engine, inside and out.
I plan on finding new radio gear and servos for it, as well as a new exhaust for the engine. If the engine doesn't work, I'll probably pop a new one in. This thing is way too cool to let it rot away. As for body, I'd like a HPI super body so it looks kind of scale, but if not I'll slap on a new pan car body.
