Been out of the RC Scene for a while, but have been keeping an eye for 996 body. If I find one, I would do 1 more build.
Back in the day 1977-1981 there wasn't much concern for noise pollution. While we did transition into tuned pipe mufflers they were not quiet. Not near as quiet as they are today. In fact, after a two day weekend of practice, qualifying and racing my ears would ring for a few days. Can you say hearing damage...of course you can. However, the engine sounds made the future hearing lose worthwhile! Of course RC racing followed by five years of dirt oval kart racing followed by three years of sprint car racing didn't help either!
