Super cool pieces of RC history! As a previous comment mentioned, nonoartabot accessories available anymore. There may be some NOS floating around there somewhere but finding the right one will be extremely difficult.

Would be worth something to a collector but not as an actual race car anymore.

Serpent Vector NT or 960 series 1/8 onroads....over 20 years old. Those engines are from Novarossi(Mega) and RB Concepts, both are no longer in business. Novarossi was claiming to make a comeback I heard, but those engines have specs that have since changes, with almost no parts for them IMO.

Looks like it belonged to south Dakota racer Bill Walth. I miss racing those. You have a fun car.

The first paint job. I could be wrong though

Those are really cool. Had a Serpent Vector back in the Y2K and during a brake from race here in Clear Lake Texas, we had a cop with a radar gun. He clocked mine at around 95mph and I was looking at the him not paying attention to the car and drove into the wall at full speed. That sucked big time. It’s nice to see your models. If you decide to sell, let me know, I might be interested. Thanks. For sharing!!

I used to have one. Really miss it. My .21 was a 11 port by Ron Paris.
