Ukcanuck Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 (edited) Hi folks... Thanks for having me and I hope you’ll be able to tolerate some dumb questions from a serious novice in the near future... 🙄 Over lockdown we started some major house renovations and moved some stuff that hasn’t moved in a long time. In doing so, I rediscovered the only real R/C car I ever owned; this Tyco Lamborghini. I’ve had it from new (late 1980’s) and brought it over from Canada with me in the 90’s, but it hasn’t run since well before that. So, I’m hoping to see if there’s any life left under all that dust as I’d love to see it run again. I’m confident there will be questions...probably dumb ones....so thanks in advance. 🙂 Edited May 8, 2021 by Ukcanuck 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant.p Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Welcome to the forum. Bet the mrs is well chuffed that you’re focusing on important things like rc cars rather than the house renovation. Good luck getting it going! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between lockdown and having the entirety of what was our loft now in our living room, both of us are in need of things that take our minds elsewhere. 🤪 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
