Don't get me wrong here, I can totally understand how someone's pride and joy should be preserved and I'm in no way condemning that. I would just like to know other peoples views on whether an RC is built to be driven or looked at.
I realise as cars get older and become vintage parts are scarce and therefore the risk of running becomes too high, I have no idea if value becomes an issue, but the example here has caused a lot of interest, I for one think it would be nice to see it and its like on the track.
My first evening of racing I saw Oscar driving an early 80's railed car, 4wd, chain drive, in fact it's pictured on this site, and I know for a fact that the car caused as much if not more interest than all the top line racing cars that were there.
Over to you.

I fully understand your point philly and you are quite correct these are RC cars not static kits, they are designed to run, no argument from me. I stopped racing in 2000 and have no interest in starting again does that mean I should be excluded from owning such cars
I don't believe anyone thinks that way. The fact is my interest is now collecting and I think that's OK to, I have a small collection of twenty or so cars only one of which is a runner all the others are destine for or are already on my shelf, each to their own I suppose. I have no issue with someone with a car of this type or even better running and racing it if that is their wish, I think this hobby in all it's forms is great and far reaching and I'm sure there is a place for all.
