hey Finchy
You've let the cat out of the bag (Jesse?).
Those little OS motors were great...they used to go hard...with a bit of a fiddle.
Those HPI tyres cost a fortune: over $100 per set
We used to race 1/10 off-road on a track we made outside where Bunnings is at Lawnton. Then we set up a track in the Lawnton Showgrounds. We held an Australian titles there...about 1980 I think. Keith Berry was always a contender.
We were racing Frogs, Hotshots, Mugen Bulldogs, Kyosho Dogfighters and RC10s.
Just a bit of history.
