What did it sell for? Sure its just a clone of the Kyosho Circuit 20 series but in that condition it should fetch some good money.

It made $75 or so personal colection only, and I live not too far, but someone was more desparate than me, I reckon he had a long haul to collect it.

Just got these in a loose batch. I think they are Ofna Hyper 8 universals as they look very similar to the Tower listing, but they don't exactly match up with the pics on Ofna's site. Can anyone confirm or disprove? Thanks.

the wheels are likely advance engineering mini-mags. I think they were out of production long before the 3-bolt 1/12 stuff was released.
Here is a thread with a pic of their own specific hubs:

Thanks! That makes much more sense. I don't have the hubs but can machine a set for one of my projects. I thought maybe they were for an RC10 sprint car conversion or something. Fronts are smooth and rears are grooved for a bead. Thought that was odd...

Has anyone idea what these shocks are from? Medium buggy length and all alloy/aluminium. Also have bleed grub screws in the caps.

Thanks
