It was the entire car and absolutely everything worked from the tiny flat 12,the little gated gearchange and even the rev counter. He'd probably think 1/4 scale was a bit too easy.

On a more down to earth basis here's a link to Glen English's site. Glen's a cool guy who is not only a very talented motorcycle racer, he also makes very fine models of cars and bikes
