Feature Interview

This weeks interview is with mechanic, future engineer, and General Lee geek Rob Linton. Rob grew up around cars and of course watched the Dukes of Hazzard with dreams of jumping the General Lee. One day he was at Wal Mart and saw an RC car with an accurate General body, but the rest of the car left something to be desired. The rest, as they say, is history.

Like most Pro-Touring fanatics, Rob took the Malibu International RC car apart and proceeded to make bumper to bumper handing and power upgrades to it. He started by building a drive train to match the body of the car by modifying the length of a Duratrax Vendetta buggy chassis and then mounting the hard body to it. He had to go with the smaller 1/18 scale and then lengthen it just to get the proportions correct.
