Kyosho Chadori. Not actually made by Kyosho, but by a company called "Hype". Or so the GoogleMobile tells me.Richieflax wrote:I just picked this up at a car boot sale but have no idea what it is
It says chadori model motors on the shell if that means anything!

From memory, the buggy is called a Chadori A07. At least, they were sold under that name here in Oz. Very cheap.... but that's about it. Also sold as a stadium truck version (A07T). They used to run a one-make / beginners championship for them here, but they didn't handle the punishment very well.
I had a truck chassis a while back, couldn't give it away......

Thanks for the info, thought it was worth a punt for £3 at least for the tyres!

One man's junk is another man's treasure. Some ebayers would promote it as if it were made of pure gold.jjarment wrote:in this shape? looks like junk!
I wouldn't mind getting this: I custom build my cars and don't need any other parts than what's on this

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Anyone know what this is? It's on eBay right now. I'm not too big into pan cars, but the guy had "¿kyosho ayk tamiya?" as the title, so the Kyosho part caught my eye. Even though I know there's only a 0.01% chance it's actually a Kyosho.
Should I post the link here for any one interested, or is that more of an 'ebay talk' kind of thing?- Coelacanth

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
If that's the seller I'm thinking of, he does blatant keyword-spamming in ALL of his RC auctions. EVERY auction item has "kyosho ayk tamiya rc10 losi" in it. I've reported his auctions a few times to teach him a lesson, but now I've seen him put stuff like "kyosho NOT rc10 losi ayk" in his titles...tsan wrote:Anyone know what this is?

That's what I figured. It's a guy named boxesrc1. From Spain.
Still sort of curious as to what it is, though.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
I'm pretty sure it's a Robbe/Graupner pan car

The piece on the left is for the JRxPro, LXT and several others. The two pieces on the right are front link mounts - for JRx2, and some of the JRxPros (first batch) and Junior 2 along with Junior T (with chassis indentation and pre-drilled holes) - also RPM obviously...
