Panda

[BillL]

Recently I was given a rolling chassis. It looks similar to any of the off road chassis that the current buggies/trucks are using.(aluminum) it was nitro powered using a Magnum 10. It originally had a Farrari body and on road tires. was told it was a Panda. I have converted it to electric with a P2K Pro motor. Using the original gearing, this thing screams. I'm using a Pro Line stadium truck body. Has anyone heard of this brand?
And where can I get spare suspension parts?
Or can another brand be adapted?

Thanks, Bill

Panda is an old r/c car company. I don't think they exist anymore. I'm thinking late 80s, early 90s. They mostly made beginner cars for the budget racer. Parts are probably going to be real hard to find.

My first car was a Hornet! Bought it back in 1986 and I used to race it in a roller rink on a single dogleg course. That thing screamed in a straight line but turning wasn't an option LOL http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

I finally aquired a Big Wig (Tamyia's top of the line back then) and had a lot more fun racing that,.... oops sorry this isn't relavent (sp?) - I'm just getting nostalgic http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
