| Atomic Lake #83. This is a Lindsay FA I rehabbed 8 or 9 years ago. After fighting zincpest problems during the initial rebuild, the power truck casing eventually gave out and the engine has been dead for a couple years now. I swapped in a new power truck tonight and she runs happy now! For how long though....

                | Did you know that Hobbytown of Boston still makes the Lindsay FA bodies, along with a powered chassis to fit them?

                | I've heard that before about Hobbytown still making engines....I didn't realize the FA was still available though. The prices look quite good. It's a shame the original Lindsay drive isn't still available. |
