This is a mega-thread for general discussion of all the Nikko products made.
I will start the discussion with a question. TamiyaDan referenced a Nikko car which competed in the 89 Worlds and placed 50th. I am sure we all have the same response...Nikko at the Worlds
TamiyaDan give us some more info on this mysterious Nikko car cause I am certain many of us would like to hear the story and see pics of this car.
Cool thread. For someone still learning other brands it tells them they had one, didn't know what it was and ebayed it. Yep, that's experience talkin. I had a version of the brat buggy. Might still have pix of it around in my 'sold' section of my photobucket. Likin the history.
Thanx

Peace and professionlism.....Kabunga signing off!!!
I had a vague recollection that Nikko produced a more 'hobby grade' series of buggies & it was only whilst chatting to a guy I was racing with on Saturday that he mentioned about a Nikko car that he raced - His one came RTR which would seem to run true for a Dandy or Sprint perhaps?
Nikko upworks compepetion car and parts hard to find now. I never ran the upworks motor, they looked good I think may be made by kyosho?they made the cars close to tamiya, packed、box art、design. in fact,I love nikko upworks series. upworks product kit 1 & 2 ever sold in hongkong, few years ago some stock cars appear on the market, luckly I found the nib brat kit to my collections
Yes I love kyosho motor more, I have a nikko upworks 240SWM cobra motor, somebody else may be eager to own specially Italian, but I feel the motor nother speical. anyone know the Japan another brand Air Supply?
I love nikko upworks tire just like the brat including, the tire look sharp,they are low profile and very good quality. I ever have a box of them, they are 2.2" so fit all moden wheels.
Hi
I search information on Nikko Brat in world championship in 1989.
I find pictures but I dont have the name of the pilot and confirmation of the colour of the Team.
Hello,
I have done some additionnal searches and found interesting materials.
In the issue from november 1989 from the magazine Super Machine, there is a color picture (number 15) of this Nikko Brat I think.
A thread for those that are actually racing with their cars. Lets discuss setups and hear about the tracks your racing them on. Car Photos, track photos, and race results encouraged.

Oh yes, that's true, somehow I was thinking of steering throw as a total package.
I remember in the past someone had problems to get enough steering - measured from the wheel :wink:
Decided to play around with a Nikko Dictator. To be fair, this is a radio shack version but mostly compatible. I have a proper Nikko coming for the final build. It cost me $35 shipped, so I can't complain! The car isn't too far from hobby grade...

I have sold a few sets but they were primarily just something I wanted. If interested you can send a message for details. We cut all of our parts to order so it’s a pretty quick turnaround
Whilst clearing the loft I found this Rhino F10 which was given to me back in 1987.
Unfortunately, one of the rear dampers got broken and it was put into storage. I'd love to get it going again, I will create another thread to seek spares or...
I recently rebuilt a triumph for some vintage racing here in Australia and it became apparent quite quickly that there really isn't much info about these cars on the net. So if there are any owners of these cool cars out there, we could keep...
i just scanned the board index here, (might have missed something), but didn't see any appropriate forums for discussing the rc8.2e. not sure if there is a place here.
otherwise, rc10talk has been HUGELY helpful to me in getting my old gold pan...
this is gonna come off more like a rant since i'm in a bad mood..........................
usually, when posts come up in threads about how someone doesn't know why someone else has all of these cars and doesn't use them, they just let them sit on a...
