As teenagers do, racing and the car was put to one side and forgotten. I kept my car and in 2007 I brushed the dust off it and took it racing again. The weather was poor that season, but we had fun. My car had been painted a metallic purple at this point. However by now the car was long obsolete and spare parts where no longer sold in my local hobby shop.
At this point a new car was required. I chose to get a Team Associated RC10B4 and it was a huge improvement over the Cobra. However now if you crashed too fast it broke (the Cobra is rather robust). This time I was able to get the right paint for my favourite paint.
This car has a brushless motor and is very fast... close to uncontrollable. Even with the bad weather I still raced most of the season.
Anyway enough history, this is the car I am going to make autonomous.
