Too funny, alot of my family has been into R\C for many years including myself. Uncle used to write scale articles for R\C Modeler Magazine back in the 70's, he was a big designer and builder of some very intricate and scale stuff, mostly war birds. I was flying non-scale stuff by the time I was in my early teens, good thing so many ranches in the family as we always flew off a dirt road on one of the ranches. Late teens I got heavily into indoor R\C racing with 1/12th scale and 1/10th scale sedan, that was fun stuff.
These days I have a ton of stuff, mostly airplanes and a couple helicopters, I just never have the time these days to keep the skill set up and get out and fly. I had to walk out to the hobby room and realized it has been a couple years since I spent any time out there and it is messy, dusty and mostly storage these days. Time to toss a ton of these four strokes on Ebay as most of the servos and radio equipment is too dated to make any money.
I still have a Associated TC-3 from the last time I raced indoor, that thing was sure one sweet riding car on carpet, these days it is all brushless motors and lipo's, ruins half the fun we had cutting our own brushes and working the motors over to get that little bit extra power and endurance. Too funny P.P., one of the last races I did indoors had a Savage .25 as top raffle and it was one of the few things I ever won in a raffle, still sitting there with like four hundred dollars of high powered servos and rebuilt diffs, all gears were replaced with Kyosho cast metal gears and a tuned pipe. That thing was crazy fast when it hit second gear, almost insane to control in the dirt. I doubt it has more than two hours total time on the motor..
