Unfortunately all that I found were the cars. I had a few questions
First things first, what brand / model is this car? I would like to know more about these cars
Second, what batteries do I need to get this thing up and running again? They are probably 30/40 years old and need replacing.
Third, since there are 2 of theses without remotes, is it possible to get a "universal" controller so I can purchase one controller and test them both? If not how do I find a replacement? (does not have to be original)
Finally The tires are foam, but being so old, I may need some new tires, where can I get some replacements? Thanks (again, does not have to be original).
Thanks for your help!!
Sorry, no pics, they won't let me post them.
Okay, with very little to go on I'll just go on what you wrote.
First thing , 30 to 40 years ago, is pretty much prehistoric in R/C. They may have been running batt.s from a rechargeable drill, or 1.2 sub "c" ni cad.
As far as radio, you can use one transmitter with two matching receivers.
Now , for the bad news , if they are some kind of dept. store brand you well most likely not be able to find any parts for them but they might look really cool cleaned up and sitting on the shelf somewhere.
