RC Cars: Vintage Monster Beetle with Blackfoot Body - First run in 20 years

I recently bought this vintage Tamiya Monster Beetle (with Blackfoot body) for £50. It hadn't been run for 20 years but it all looked complete so I put a battery in it and took it for its first spin in 20 years.

We had a Bigfoot body on a Monster Beetle, took a hell of a battering, it was great fun 👍

I've run it maybe 4 times now and every time I seem to damage the shell a little more, even though I'm being gentle. I've no idea how they coped with the rough and tumble back in the day! If you want to see how I'm getting on with the restoration it's over on my other channel here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3OYda2Il9yMiLs
