One for the true RC collector. Original 1979 Team Associated RC300. This is the earlier model without the ball differential. I don't think I have ever seen one of these on here before so they are extremely rare and would look magnificent in any collection.

One really unique feature of this car is that the body is fibreglass. It may in fact pre-date the chassis as fibreglass bodies were more common in the early 70's. Of course, it is heavy but I guess that back in the 70's you didn't have a lot of options.

This is a restoration in progress as when I purchased the car it had been under a wet house for a very very long time and everything was rusted and seized. Nothing would turn or move so I had a major job freeing everything up again.

The motor does not turn over as I suspect that it to has rusted up over the years. You could soak it in diesel for a few weeks to free it up but as I only ever intended it for display I never bothered.

Parts for these are super expensive if you ever needed to build one from scratch with items like the McCoy barrel muffler selling on Ebay for $US400 for a used one to $US850 for a new one

There are still a few screws missing but if you are a collector half the fun is in finishing them the way you want.
