Well, our own Gene "Eldon Shinoda" was there back then (there is a pic of his car and a reference to it being the record breaker at Pontiac Model Raceway's track) and here I would like to show you a couple of cars he made for the Kingee.

Anyway here's the Arrow Dart painted by Gene in the style of back then:
Please note how the body is attached:
Motor is a Dyna-Rewind 16D I found on eBay. It's been tuned up with the usual Certus parts. Wheels are Kai's Buz-Co replicas. Cox guide with SuperSoft moustaches.

This chassis also works by a torsional system:
Motor is another Dyna-Rewind found on the Bay again. Wheels are Kai's replica Champions.
And here a few shots on the track:

How do they run? Ask my D3 car!
