Buffalo!
Buffalo!
Just had to share this. I am pretty excited by this car!!
I picked tis up from member 8rad via ebay, what a great guy to deal with, he packed this car with tlc! The body is a bit rough, 5 layers of paint were removed and there are some wear issues, minor cracks, etc. The rest of the car is not perfect but beautifully preserved with very light wear and next to no run time. The pictures can't do it justice but here's a shot at it. Next photo session will have a painted and repaired body, the correct repaired speed controller and better lighting!

Re: Buffalo!
Nice car RedScampi! Glad to see another happy AYK owner. How did yo get the paint off? I tried it once and the Bobcat shell shattered... The lexan is so thin ont these cars.
Re: Buffalo!
Thanks for the complimentS. I actually didn't remove the paint, it was done by 8rad. Maybe he'll chime in and let us know. I'd love to have a reproduction body, does anyone make one for this car?

Mr Lexannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!! please do this one... but the Bobcat is even betterRedScampi wrote:I'd love to have a reproduction body, does anyone make one for this car?
I know he's planning on reproing the Radiant and ProRadiant. But I'd love to get repros of the boxer/buffalo/bobcat family. I actually have the last two NIB but I will never paint or cut them. I whish I had the guts to make a mould but I'm kinda scared to destroy them... The Sidewinder Cowling body is also very cool. Looks like The Kyosho Tomahawk. I have the Piper version only.

Re: Buffalo!
This might be a stupid question, but is that car related to this? There are certain brands I just know nothing about, but when I saw this it immediately reminded me of some ebay images I had saved a long time ago(in fact I had to dig out my portable hard drive to get them)because I thought they were cool. That thing is cool as hell and and will be saved also. Nice score!

This is the Coyote 4wd which is made by SG an Italian company more famous for their nitro cars. There was also a 2wd version available. The Buffalo was made by AYK a Japanese manufacturer.

The body does have a certain resemblance, doesn't it?THEYTOOKMYTHUMB wrote:This might be a stupid question, but is that car related to this? [/img]

Re: Buffalo!
Well the body shown with the coyote car is actually AYK I think. It's the 566b super trail. Here's a picture taken from Inetrc. I don't know if the coyote used a different body or the one from AYK (although it would be weird).

Re: Buffalo!
Ok well looking back at it the Coyote has some kind of wing mounting wholes in the rear so it's an EXTREMELY similar body to the 566b. It's amazing!

Re: Buffalo!
LOL, thanks, I guess I should have given credit. I believe I found it at Tamiyaclub but I could be mistaken.murphy3428 wrote:Congrats on your find, welcome to AYK.
