Re: Hirobo ZERDA
Plenty of pics of other Hirobo models here
One of the most collectable buggies is the Hirobo Jealousy - they only made 300 kits, 3/4s of them were sold in Japan.
[img=http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=14980&id=5]Here's Darryns one[/img]
And some detail drivetrain photos
A mid motor conversion was a popular modification, over here they were converting the original B44s to mid motor.

Re: Hirobo ZERDA
I just finished mine of tonight.
it's a little different as all in Black, and no driver yet, and maybe never fluro....
I love it.
and I do have a few spare parts, all listed on the for sale page right now.

Re: Hirobo ZERDA
Great to see another Zerda up here Stu!
....as for my mate the 'fluro' driver...well lets just say that at the end of a late night and a couple of beers with the guys from our recent vintage meet I decided to paint up what was then my clear driver figure. After asking what colours to paint the guy Darryn (retro r/c) piped up and gave me the colour scheme that would then transform this little guy into a 'raving-gay homo'. Despite the guys appearance I am sure he isnt 'gay' or a 'rave nut',just someone who got his colours all mixed up-(ie: not sexual orrientation)

Nothing wrong with his "stylin colour scheme" - He's a "cage" dancer I tell you.

Reminiscent of the United Colors of Benetton I believe.

Re: Hirobo ZERDA
I have a couple of yellow roll cages, NIP, for the Zerda. I was told they are really rare (I wouldn't know for sure, I know nothing about Hirobo). I think I know exactly where the are..... in my Hirobo box in the front of my storage unit.
I am not here cause I am playing photographer and on my mountain bike.

Re: Hirobo ZERDA
Hey guys,
Here's some updated pics of my Zerda that I'll be running at Ryde this weekend.
I have just added a Schumacher slipper clutch made possible by adding a custom layshaft, made by Bugle.
This should allow for the extra power from the 13,5 Trinity brushless motor.

Re: Hirobo ZERDA
That's looking good!
Now, make sure you paint the driver well in time: you don't want to have it rivaling the last-minute paintjob Jason did on his
