I don’t know what I was thinking when I laid down a bid on this Buffalo if I didn’t have enough project as it is.

I don’t know much about AYK except that the Buffalo was realest in -85.

Just think of it as 'a-little-different scorpion' and you'll be fine

In 1985 the Buffalo became the third buggy to be released by AYK. Evolving from the Sidewinder (itself an evolution of the Super Trail) the Buffalo continued AYK's mission to create a lightweight racing buggy. Still built on a square tube aluminum...

That's a pretty cool buggy! Very interesting....

It's almost like I've seen the rear suspension... somewhere.... :wink: :mrgreen:

Very cool! And they assemble the tires for you! :lol:

You know it's ready to run when the tires come mounted...

I finished repairing and improving my buddy's Buffalo last night. I know it kind of looks a bit cobbled-together, but keep in mind it's for a runner/basher and he's not concerned about looks--just improved performance. I'll call it FrankenBuff ....

Necro post , looks nice , by had to have a peek when you said you'd done one .

Found this on yahoo auctions a while ago but forgot to post it.
Engines are not my thing, but I don't think anybody posted an ayk with engine in the forum before, so here it is:

That would make a sweet scale sand rail...

The motor is where it should be...just add a stinger exhaust!

Hello everyones,

On Decembre 2015, i bought this chassis with a lot of dust as a barn find ;)

Since those days, i try to make it as an exceptional piece of art from AYK.

I will post photos of this build started since February 2016 on next days....

Last post

Spectacular attention to detail!

Thank you,

More special parts from MANOBET will come to upgrade this tiny chassis ;)

Still way too much for the budget for this car, unfortunately. I'm not putting $50 axles in this thing. :)

First post

This is for my AYK buffalo project. I've tried some tamiya TL01 buggy front wheels and tires on the car and it looks nice.

I know Yokomo had these 2.2 wheels with square adapters that let you mount wide front tires on the RC10 but is it the only...

Exactly what I need Thanks!
