My no 52 units rc car, is a secondhand units Smartech Winner 1 Touring Car year 2002. Rm100 from a guy in Bandar Baru Bangi Selangor on 29/3/2024. Nitro, single speed, no wheels, no body, no Remote control and missing few parts. Is been play and lost interest put one side unattended. Full of thick dust and oil. No assembly manual in pdf in Internet..
Most when buy this type of dirty RC car there is no upgrade parts on it, they just buy play then put a side or sale. Almost rc there no ballbearing, wheels hex, or upgrade parts. Even I buy use HSP all using copper bushing. Not a real RC fan.
Overall after total cleaning and repair this is a running RC. Few more parts to readjust. Happy got another Rc collection and working RC just for display.
