First car was a Tamiya Super Sabre.
Raced it at the local club "Canterbury Burners". Remember I had the spectacular option parts of Tamiya Pin Spike Tyres and a Parma Cyclone Stock motor in it.
Also remember going through several million plastic steering uprights and replacing them with some alloy ones. When I lost a steering arm I replaced it with some chicken wire I found in the field.
Don't think I was especially fast but loved racing from day one!
But what I am still unable to work is is how come I left the car in the garage fully assembled and when I went to find it 15 years later almost nothing was left apart from the rear gearbox? Are there alien mice that eat RC parts if they are left unsupervised?
