There was a very popular 1/12 scale radio controlled car made in the late 1970's of this car. It had a hard shell body, molded in yellow. I used to race 1/12 scale R/C back then, back when just when a few companies first started making dedicated 1/12 electric cars. The hobby was really booming. Anyway, these hard shell Corvette Spyder cars were not allowed to race in any club events, they were not really designed for competition (they were like a Tamiya car), but the Corvette was by an off brand company. It was a ready-to-run model, and it was one of the first electric R/C cars with proportional steering and variable speed. I'd havce to dig through some very old R/C Modeler magazines to find an ad for one of these.

What's this R/c crap???? Do you guys not know this is a MOTION Performance built car???

I actually have a photo I took of of an original Motion spyder hood somewhere...it is gold in color. It actually has a spyder on it also. I wonder where the car is?? This was back in the late 80's I think, In the Baltimore area. If I can find it I will post it.

Hello everyone
First post and it's on an r/c...go figure.
I still have my Spyder r/c vette and was just thinking of reviving it and stumbled on this post. That thing made me a lot of $$ racing kids on our block. The charging pack melted in the early 80s and it has been sitting on a shelf since. My memory was that it was supposed to do 30mph. Is that correct?

[Plowman]

That was the early,near the beginning,they do 190mph now,the older you get the faster they go!
