OK....first post for me here...

This build starts here, with a box from Tower Hobbies...from 1988.
Hmmmm, what could be in here?

There's the kit, the controller, a charger, two new NiCd batteries, two blister packs of Energizers, the cool Kyosho Carrying bag, even the Pactra paint :D ...

This must have cost a pretty penny even back in '88

The car has the gearbox assembled and attached to the lower chassis and that is about it. Everything except the manual is here.
