Back in the mid 80's, for a birthday, my father bought a Rock Buster from our local hobby shop. I remember him assembling it on my grandmothers kitchen table. Had a ton of fun with it as a kid until a neighbor brought home an RC10, lol.
Well i am putting this in the 'Other Makes' category as it could actually fit into several sections.... mainly RC10, but also has some Traxxas and Losi parts! I have seen reference to a few of these on RC10talk before, but never thought i would ever...
Hi everyone - i also have a royal ripper that I used to enjoy, the 4 wheel drive and steering is cool. I have been thinking about selling this car also and putting the funds into acquiring something new. Is there a market for this car?
Thanks

IMO they defintely copied the hotshot as much as possible. I do dig them, that back shock in the cab is quite a site. Lol
This is the build thread for my Kangaroo. I first learned of this model a few months ago. Seeing as how I'm mainly into vintage R/C's that are rare, uncommon, unpopular, obscure, etc... I instantly fell in love with it. I ended up buying one a...

Hey lowgear did I send you a bunch of kangaroo stuff back then? I probably did,. Not sure anyone else would have been chasing parts for this one. Crazy it's been that long
Wow, once you mentioned it, it caused me to remember that you did! :shock:...
Picked up this Tenth Tech Predator. It was listed as a DTM. How would I/could anyone identify the model? I know there were a few different on road models. Also, would anyone happen to have a manual electronically? Thanks.

Still 5 hours if your willing to take out a second mortgage. Very cool but I’m surprised at the current bid.
Acquired this would like some more info or paperwork thanks guys.
I would also like to find a body for this, the hack job from previous owner is :cry: luckily the rear wheels/tires are still available from TM RACING 1/12 scale 1.5”x2.75”
As some of you might have already noticed, I am a bit of a fan of a small British manufacturer by the name of Brimod - their premises being located about a 15minute drive from where i grew up.
In the late 1980's Brimod shocks were known as the best...

Back around the mid 90s I had a Kyosho Rowdy Baja. It was the 'Extra' version which means it had dual rear shocks and an adjustable ball diff! Unfortunately it had a quick life in my hands and I never ended up driving it. I wanted to get it running...

Hi, does anyone know if a Thunder Tiger Pro 12 engine will be a direct drop-in replacement for an O.S. cz-2 (or similar .12) in a Kyosho Rampage GP10 or Stinger MKII?
Thanks.
Last post
Thanks guys. Hadn’t thought about the pull start on the stinger. I recon the problem would be the bulk of the handle itself, ‘cause my cz-2 has a cone starter which takes up much of the same space.

Congrats on the truck Dave. It looks great. I like the paint. Very period on a sweet body. I can't decide officially but I'm leaning towards the white rims.
I saw it from across the shop. When I saw its cantilever suspension and shiny blue parts, I nearly passed out. I'm in love, yes I'm a believer!
