Still got the Ralt, though it's now sporting a March 782 bodyshell and the front bumper is missing - I do recall the front end of the car used to take quite a beating  |
Yep,that's how I remember it as well. Me and my older brother ran off road and my dad ran f1. I think it was the guy who owned the factory was into rc cars and was his land he built the tracks on. My holiday buggy front end was held together with a metal plate and araldite. Wish I still had it to be honest
