After that, I had one of the original PK/Corally stick pack cars that I bought second hand because it was far too expensive to buy brand new! Here's a pic of the same car:

Since then, I have tried a couple of other brands, but after 25 years since having that original Corally car, I still like the brand and recently made a LiPo car for myself that is based on parts supplied by Corally! Here's a pic:

I have quite a few of the older Corally cars including the SP12, 12G, 12GII, 12V, 12X and a couple of the Pro10 cars also.

Keep this thread going guys!!
The stick pack Corally car is very interesting,Also the chassis you made is very nice.I was hopeing that Corally made a chassis just like the one you made as I really like the Corally front end,but they are using the Assoi front end on the LiPo kits now.



This is my Plazma,it has alot of hand made parts,but the spirit is still there.
