We pulled out our Vanquishes, these are still a blast to run.

I kept a few Vanquish cars when I sold most of my 1/32 stuff. I really like them, maybe it is the bigger size.
Any pix of the above track online? It looks pretty nice.

Very cool. Have missed out on a few EBay auctions featuring Vanquish cars. How well do they handle?
I race 1/32 with a couple of guys in Lombard at our home tracks. We should get together some time. 8-)

Those are a blast on your track Tom. We'll have to do it again.

Yep. That track design is Vanquish heaven with that active differential.
I always wonder if the guys who swapped out the differential for a standard crown gear kept the differential to put back in. When the word got out that packing the rear end with R/C car grease made those differentials amazingly effective I imagine people popped them right back in. I bought my two late, so I heard about the fix before I ever touched the rear end.

Yep, two steps. Pack with grease and glue the diff. Done.

As Norb said they are a blast to run. We re-motored them way back when with NC5's and they make for some good head to head racing.
