richmann 89 batmobile rc custom

[@dispassionateobserver]

Awesome! Thanks for posting this. I acquired one of these recently and I had the motor and all that stuff switched out so it runs. I got an aftermarket light kit but I haven't put it in yet. The sad thing about these is that the foam tires that came with them are breaking down from age and I don't think that there are any easy replacements available. It's very cool to see what you have done with yours. Yours has the interior and everything. I wish I had your talent.

Fantastic work, as always! What LED lights did you use? Where did you put the switch to turn the lights on?

Wow!!! I've always wanted one of these, I saw it when I was on holiday in Glasgow around 1990-91, it was priced at my entire budget for the holiday, I didn't have a credit card at the time😂 I always had it in my head it was a Cox RC product. Is yours 3 feet long?
