Re: The Age before AndyMark

Going far enough back, before the days of IFI and AndyMark you were required to buy everything from the Small Parts catalog or use what was in the kit. If you wanted to build a special gear box you had to make it from parts that were in the catalog. At the end of the year you had to return your controls, after a while you could buy them for a cost.

The batteries used to be two drill batteries and you also got the two drills. Several teams would use the drill transmissions for their driveline.

Things have come a long way since then.
