Yeah that is the last and one of the best cars tyco ever made. The taiyo version is junk, only downside this version had was that they had clutches in the hubs that like to weaken over time and eventually just go out. If you can press the housing off and glue them they will be invincible. My original mutator from 96 did it and another one I bought for a driver did it so i got a 3rd one and it doesnt click unless im really pushing it. I think even my nib mutator clicked once.

Ahh the memories of blasting through deep water and mud, they have the best ground clearance for sand and mud runs.

That van looks really cool!

I've been thinking about getting Vanessa's Lunchbox, or a some other kit, that I could build up with my son. My wife is encouraging me to get back into R/C cars anyway since it's something I can do with the kids more.
