Ray,

I too have one of these.... still in my pit box, and still functional... such a great unit, just because you could build it yourself. Not sure anyone ever built one for 540 though..... straight to the hi-spec version! I really need to make use of it somewhere..... onroad, though, I think

Oh, and my first car was a Porsche 959, second hand, from ABC Hobbies when they had a branch in Boronia.... buggers sold it to me with no prop shaft, and when I went back to say so, they gave me one from (I think) a Hotshot..... as a noob, no idea.

First new car (built from a kit) was a little after that, a Tamiya VW Golf Racing Master... ran like a cut cat with the Technigold from the 959 in it!!!
