Looks good that was my first real r/c. It looks complete. If you are missing a few chassis parts I could maybe help you out. I bought mine at a estate auction for $20. The buggy handles really good actually. The stuff is getting rare though. Most of the parts are interchangeable with the Kyosho outrage series trucks.
My uncle did the same to me, He came over one day with a big box. A complete RTR Tamiya bruiser for free gotta love that.

It looks like mine. I still have it. A 1987 Ultima. It was very fast and competative for its time. I raced mine for a bit, but lost interest. I was just a kid with one car, two batteries and a small toolbox, and smaller wallet. Competing with adults with much bigger pockets, turbo 400 equipment, multiple cars, motors etc. But I could place now and then, and it was fun.

Still got mine, with lots and lots of random parts. Wheels, tires, unopened packages of stuff and, of course, my big a** Futaba remote. Its the size of a microwave oven LOL! The remote in your picture should run with 8 AA batteries. The things on the side are charging jacks for rechargable Tx packs.

ya i figured i could put batteries in it but where??? if i find this out it seems liuke it should run fine!

[mikeh]

That is one old school Futaba remote! Mine is just like it, but with a big wheel in the center of it. To put batteries in mine I have to pull off the entire back of the remote. It should be just friction held on.

i did that then theres a black box that ima unscrw that looks like it would hold 8 aa cells but iono...

[mikeh]

Yes, thats it. Put 8 AA batteries in there and it will work.
