That probably did weeken the chassis some. I saw one on ebay today, the guy wanted $325.00 for a used one.

I have a bunch more pictures of cars but that was waaaaaay before digital. Had a Kyosho Big Brute, Hornet, Yokomo Dogfighter, Tamiya F-1, RC10L.Ever hear of the Spirit FF? It was front wheel drive and total crap as far as strength goes, but my favorite was a Tamiya 1/12th Toyota Celica rally car. That thing was so fun to drive.

I've heard of all of them except the last one.

I have a Tamyia Hornet, it was my first RC, I got it for my 7th birthday I think back in 1985, it's not quite in original mint condition now though, I carried out some minor modifications to it back in 1992

I just ordered about a $100.00 worth of parts from a ebay uk.com store. So i can restore my tamiya falcon.
