Old Nitro car

I recently acquired an old collection of nitro cars; my two uncles did some serious things with them between 2000 and 2010. Now I have them, but my question is...

I can't find spare parts online for the body, or rather, I have no idea what this "form factor" is called; there are no brand names, only the engine is a Force .18, a Conrad 15SZ and 17SZ and a VX .18, which is what I've found out.

All the engines still work, etc., I'm really happy about that. I would appreciate more professional help, although I did own a Nitro once, but that was 6 years ago, so I don't really know much about them.

Dual CPU retro PC?

Here I want to show one of my favorite PCs.

At the beginning of the year (2026) I bought the following hardware for an unbelievable €40:

Mainboard: Tyan s7010 Dual LGA1366

Ram: 12x Corsair XMS3 2GB DDR3 1333MHz

CPU: 2x Intel Xeon W5590 3.33GHz

​

In addition, I use two cheap Amazon CPU coolers (15€ each from a no-name brand), an MSI MAG A650GL 80+ gold PSU, My old Radeon RX 5700 GPU (I had it in stock) and a nice old matching 250GB HDD, I had to modify the case so that the motherboard would fit in with the screws; it's an old NZXT glass case.

​

Since the GPU was only recently installed and previously an ATI Radeon HD 5770 was installed, I don't have any more recent photos, The image shows a Radeon HD 2400 Pro (I have a lot of GPUs...)

​

When I bought the item, I told the person what they were selling, they said they just wanted to get rid of it, I think it was a bargain!
