Ron Paris Associated RC500 4wd

Well, I realised that I had recently posted on my RC500 2wd acquisition but had not yet posted on the other RC500s that I already had in my collection. The RC500 was essentially the pinnacle of 1/8 development at the Associated factory, with the 4wd version being this first of the new wave of 1/8 GP cars. At the time Ron Paris was not already considers somewhat of a legend in engine tuning, but also took it upon himself to re-engineer chassis that he would distribute. The particular example here is one of these vehicles, and is fully optioned with chassis components as well as a Paris tuned engine and pipe.
