A good friend of mine has decided to get out of the hobby and has GIVEN me all his 1/5th scale stuff! It's a Lauterbacher car converted to run a Laser 50cc twin cylinder 4 stroke! I got tons of stuff with it. The radio is a Futaba 3pk with HRS reciever. I got an extra 26cc tuned engine with Trevor Simpson heads. LyPo batters and chargers. Scales. Tires. Bodies. The works. I can't believe how lucky I am. Thank you Dean!

Cool! I have no idea what half of that stuff on the car is though! lol. You'd think with that big of a chassis you'd have extra space, but I guess not. :p

I'm not sure what I'm doing with it yet. My first priority is to get my EVO back together with some custom parts I'm making for it. Next, I'll completely disassemble the lauterbacher and clean it up and evaluate the way it's put together. I have to decide on whether or not to keep the 4 stroke setup and if so, I might want to come up with sexier looking motor mounts, headers, exhaust, and cooling. I'm sure I'll get it down to Timezone eventually but my main race car will be the EVO.
