Default Losi Rally Weapon

Anyone here still run the Losi Rally Weapon? One Losi kit that I have wanted to own for all these years.

I actually got one from my dad nearly NIB a few months back. He bought the car and put it together when I first starting getting into RC, but never ran it. Ever. I was thinking of running it in USVTA just for the cool factor, but never got around to it.

It looks like a pretty neat with an Impreza on it and not that cheesy ford body

The following link is to a thread on rc10talk. In which, Rich Trujillo, part of Team Losi , shares some of the history behind how the Rally Weapon came to be. I thought it was interesting and hopefully Rich won't mind me sharing his story.

Same thing is up on vintagelosi.com including the proto pics.
Vintage Losi - Rally Weapon

Notes:
This model shares all most all parts with the Street Weapon.
It has a lower rear hub for driveshaft clearance, longer shocks, rally spring set, dual purpose rally tires, and Ford Focus body made by Parma.
