Ohh that's awesome, i used to own a similar one when I was a kid. But what would be really cood, is turning this racing car into a remote controlled car.

That's actually what i've been working on! 24v, chain driven with 15x3" wheels on the back, 15x1.25" wheelchair wheels on the front. I put actual lamps in the lights on the roll bar that are bright enough to turn night into day. powering it is a 500w electric scooter motor, and one of the stock motors/transmissions are hooked up to steering. I put a key switch from an old lawnmower in the dash which turns the radio receiver on and off. It is controlled by a 2.4GHz 3 channel radio, which gives me throttle, steering, and the ability to remotely turn the headlights on and off.

If you really want to do a conversion, LMK and I'll help you out.

Very interesting what you've done there. Are you able to make a video available of that? And plus if I need help in the conversion process will let you know.

Thanks bro.
