This is the Buggy before i started .

Its pretty clean and has little sign of use.


The chassis is unmarked apart from slight wear to the slot where the flywheel is evident.


I have allready cleaned up a couple of wheels and tyres , no marks/scuffs and the tyres are as new.


And so to the disassembly of the radio gear .


Ahh good ole 27mhz Futaba rx, the servos are 148 types all in excellent order.


I removed the rx pack , it brought back memorys as i havent seen Sanyo nicads for years !

So there you go at the moment , i have rubbed down the alloy radio plate as some of the paint has been removed , im going to repaint it gloss black.

Or i may go the carbon fibre route as it would look rather nice , but i dont want to detract from the age of the model.

I was trying to find some information on the car but its not thrown up much although i do believe its a 1990 model.

It predates the modified version which i believe has the blue cap shocks and a milled for lightness chassis.

The chassis on mine is just a stamped alloy piece.
