So I won this on eBay, and was wondering to keep it in the box, or to assemble it. What would you guys do?

I would assemble it and paint the air box blue.

 

That is cool. I'd assemble it and watch the light show in the dark after a smoke...

 

Yea, the spark plugs are very cool. They're red and they light up. It's actually timed with the 2 distributors.

 

I have a motorhead cousin who had one of these as a kid. He told me he worked on it for hours sanding all the parts so it would actually work. He said he still has it too. Ive been looking for a FB model but havent seen one yet. I guess I like wasting money...

 

Man that is sweet im Jealous!!

 

i wouldnt mind a fb model to model after my FB for car shows... That would be cool.

 

Wow man, what year is that from? Might be worthwhile to find out how many are left before you open that box....

 

"That is cool. I'd assemble it and watch the light show in the dark after a smoke..."

ha my thoughts exactly!

 

I would love to have one of them!

 

Id build it.
Since the guy let it go for so cheap,it cant be worth much,.......or hes just stupid!

 

Build it. They are still made, although that mfg's kit isint. Dont expect it to work though. Mine never has. The plastic gear on the eletric motor just slips, too much friction. Looks cool though.

 

my brother has that exact same thing...his is in the box...but im not sure if thats cuz he doesnt wanna assemble it...or hes just lazy...im gonna go with lazy...

Yea, I have one I bought on ebay for $12. I am going to put it together.

 

I started putting it together. It seems that the reduction drive from the electric motor to the drive shaft has quite a bit of friction Carl, I can't spin it by hand. The box was already opened, so I said the hell with it. Besides, some of the parts were broken off the tree, although the bags were still sealed. It's still cool to have chillin in the room.

Who makes the kits nowadays? I'd like to buy one that actually works.

 

Im think I am going to buy this one. It looks like its newer, and in better shape. I think it will be sweet in my dorm room. Man I really hope my room mate is cool.

ATF it!

LOL Jon, the gear that drives it slips on the shaft. It need to be better secured. I bought mine from Edmund Scientific on the net.

 

Let's mod it!!!!

 

Fill the side ports with notch the housings and bridge port it lol.

 

Before you guys order one, the quality of the kit is really crappy. Just so you guys know.... If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't have ordered one and save myself $20.

Also, you can find SA22C kits from Tamiya every now and then, although rare. Tamiya usually has excellent quality.
