damn thats very nice :)
i saw some new vanning parts on ebay today from a german seller while i was trying to find out some info on mine.

yeah my engines way over the back wheels..should make it a wheelie machine if i ever get it going.

Ill goto my moms and take pics of it. It has a full roll cage, a .21 with a full metal tranny case and the tranny has a heat sink. Also it has NO brakes.

[dave g]

hehe bet thats a handful..

i made a webpage with pics of the buggy as i unwrapped it this morning,the shocks are threaded adjusters,tyres says hirobo on,gearbox looks like its never ran..infact the car looks like its never ran its just very dirty and rust on springs
