I was cleaning out my files of softball line up cards, old slot business files and art work from when my son was in kindergarten, he is now 35, and I came across these emails with the below pictures.

 

The email was from 2013 from Paulo Vogel. A seven-band external resistor with a funky handle and a trigger with a huge curved hook on it. Then a couple other electronic models. Just thought it would be interesting to post.

You would never fall off of that trigger, and you could use it to fish in the off season!

I know that brand very well. Early '90s it was still illegal to import many things. We got creative. The chassis in the picture, was a class using brass manufactured chassis (this one was called Ht26) and Parma 16D motors. My father kinda invented that class using VW 1/24 Beetle bodies.
