Hello everybody,
a few days ago I found in an old photo album from my father these 2 pics :
Does anyone know this cox car? 2014-110

Does someone knows this car? Looks for me as there is a TeeDee installed. The photos are from the 1974th.
The car was not from my father so he doesn't know anything about it. Do you have any ideas?

It looks like a stripped down cox body on what appears to be a home made chassis with airplane wheels. I think its a one off creation someone dabbling with rc back in the 70s.looks like they did a decent job on it!yes I agree on the cox engine. What it drove like I:-)guess will never no! Babe Bee

In the early-mid seventies R/C cars saw a dramatic increase popularity and "DIY" cars were fairly common. Most were built with off the self parts, along with homemade components.

In Jr. High i bought a used 1/8 scale car with a (commonly used) plastic '65 Revell Corvette body, McCoy .19, fiberboard (mason board) chassis with aluminum cast Wheels from a company called RaCar. The radio was a Jarobee brick, used my little brother's bike to start it.

Its Absolutely amazing looking back in to the 1970's and that Era of R/c Cars. The photo of the Chassis looks like is was Homemade on a very skilled and professional Basis. The wheels and tires almost look like large model Airplane Wheels. Its just a matter of time and Design to build Your own Car. I have several Friends that have their own Machining Equipment on their properties and build and design Chassis' and other Car related items.
