That is how the nitro cars started - as pan cars.

That question made me smile... :) 8th Gas started in about 1971/2. Check it out here with PB's brochure from 1979.

By 1981, it was all independent suspension, and an era was closed. Enjoy!

yes, did a nitro conversion to a pb sizzler pro 10. simply made a new rear pod modified to carry an OS CZZ .12 with an rc10gt clutch on it. cant remember what the spur was from, exhaust was a stinger meant for the GT also. it was quick in a strait line but otherwise didnt work very well. throttle was via a bike brake cable from servo on chassis
