The top cars at the time were the rc10b4 and the losi xxx cr. The track was carpet and he made them look like they were going in reverse. What modifications do people suggest I do to mine to bring it up to date ?.

Wasn't Adey with that missile of his was it???.............................
BTW,here's my pet Cobra fitted with an Ansmann Madrat gearbox and quite a few Associated RC10 B2/3 parts
I could just do with some kind soul bunging me a few nice stickers for it(Proline,etc).
As for modifications,well,if you want to run brushless or a hot brushed, then you'll need to either go Adey's route and fit an RC10B series diff,go my route and fit a complete Madrat 'box or DerbyDan's route and fit a Losi XX 'box.
Most of us use different shocks,it just depends what surface you want to run on too.
Adey's is a rug racer(carpet),Blue's is an astro turf racer,mine is set up for clay/dirt.......
