Yes it was a stick nothing else was available, I mean the wheel radio was not out back then and yes it was olive green with a silver handle bar on top .... man you had the same radio ... dude don't tell that you were born in 73 ... hehehe

The worst thing about that car was the resistor, you remember the white stone like block with a sliver heat sink that did not even touch the resistor .. hehehe .. and the gears used to break like every day and it was a pain in the behind to fix .. hehehe … but still I had so much fun with that R/C …. Ohh a friend of mine still has his grasshopper from back then.
