Hi Cryo-tek
I'm not sure if what I'm going to do with this car, at least untill I can find out the history on it. But I will definitely keep your offer in mind, if it comes down to a handheld type transmitter. What type & how old is the boat that it's in now?Thanks, Steve

Hi, Cryo-tek
I look forward to the pics. I haven't tried the steering, as I have not tried to "juice" the radio. As I pointed out before, I don't have a transmitter. By the way......the radio is on 72mhz........72.960....banned since 1987. Looks like I won't be racing anytime soon!

Any car that was built this heavy duty....45lbs, 12v gel cell to run the servos, a fair sized gas tank, and a very thick (8lbs worth) fiberglass body.....it's the only scenario that I can come up with at this time (untill this mystery is solved).

Thanks for all the tips guy. I have spent quite awhile online, Googling Ohlsson & Rice, and a lot of other things, but so far have come up short on anything like this. One of my goals is to find some contact info for Gus Ohlsson, the son of Irwin Ohlsson, who made the engines originally. I seen ...

I'm looking for some information & history on my vintage, 1/4 scale CanAm style, RC car that I aquired awhile back. I have to believe that this car was a production run made unit, for some type of demonstration use, or for an amusement park attraction. The reason I have come to this conclusion i...
