My 2nd RC was bought in parts directly from the Heanor Road factory in the 80’s. Every week I’d be there at the door with my Saturday job money to buy the next part.

I had one about 1987 just about unbeatable in club racing ie low cost . Converted mine to active rear suspension! The rear shocks were mounted on a t shaped cross beam actuated by the stearing servo . So when you gave say left lock the cross beam passed the right hand shocker down ,thus increasing the grip ! The biggest advantage was if you got stuck on a track mark you could wiggle the stearing and rock the car off the obstacle 😂

As much as I do love the Cobra, and raced one back in 1993 and just purchased one second hand for nostalgia reasons. They were always a budget car, leagues behind other manufacturers then and now. However the simplicity, price and the fun that is available will always be brilliant.

Brilliant trip down memory lane, not driven a RC car since probably very late 80s but I did have the Mardave Meteor you have witch I modified to the specks in that exact magazine. Remember having my friend make the rear shock mount for me in his metal work class at school. Fantastic car witch should still be in my parents loft somewhere, I should really dig it out and maybe get it going again. Cheers for the vid bought back some great memories when RC cars where a real passion of mine 👍
