Flash back to 1990... I had a Tamiya Hornet. It had a Race-Prep 16T motor, a Novak esc, and an aluminum front shock tower. Next, in 1994 i had a Tamiya Blackfoot. I remember I stripped the tranny gears a lot so I replaced those with Thorpe Differentials. Then, I had an RC-10 buggy with the gold-tub chassis and gold shocks. I loved that thing!
