HIROBO Alien Mid4 'TURBO' ? Really?

Post by Bormac »

I remember seeing this add years and years ago in RCCA. It left me thinking there might have been a 'TURBO' version of the AlienMid4.
Any theories on this one guys?

Turbo with Rock'n City wheels and Zerda bumper :lol:

As far as I recall, never seen this one in Europe... It looks like an "importer special" kinda version.

Awesome scan though Jason!

Yeah - an importer "special".....getting rid of 44b wheels and bumpers ....pretty smart!! LOLOL It even says in the add that it is "Dr J's" tricked out version of the car.

:lol: :lol: "Änti plow" front bumper that looks like a snow shovel!! :lol: :lol: Gotta love the 80's!!

There was no "Turbo" invader from Hirobo. Although - its a pretty cool looking buggy side on!

10 points to "Dr J" for trying to get them out the door!

Cheers

I love my Hilux's - my second favourite of the 44b's. The wheels look freaking cool!!

I have 3 NIB Hilux's- one kit without a body - if anyone has a good Hilux body or a new one - I am sure I can make it worth your while to part with it - I want to build an run a hilux again!

Cheers

Exactly why I sold mine... was making me sick not finding a body, so off to ebay it went, where it sold for a miserable $100 something... :lol:

Oh well.

Maybe you could look at having one of your nib kit bodies repro'd?
