We didn't have a lot of disposable income growing up in the 70's and I didn't see Dad much for a while, 3rd shift paid a bit more, but we always managed to have a new Cox .049 toy appear: dragster, trike, P40, Ryan....never got the Stuka, and the dune buggy. Great memories, even if the event ended with bits of plastic amid tangled flying lines! Well I found part, or should I say parts, of my dune buggy while helping Mom clean and I went on a mission, I had to find an almost complete one on eBay to restore it with.
Did lots of cleaning, spun the engine and hearing the pop I could almost smell the exhaust and fuel. Now to finish the 'resto' (parts swap), get fuel, batteries...maybe even convert to R/C steering.
