It was also imported to the US by Hobby Lobby as the Tornado (with body) and the hunter (with roll cage). The version I have was sold under the Great Vigor name. Mine is new....but no roll cage :(

Since you guys are wheel hub gurus...what was this hub off of? The digger 10 hubs I have seen were white and more typical looking. Never seen one this diameter

Happened to see an item on Stormer Hobbies and it got me thinking... could these be old magnetic body hole markers?
They could be mounts instead of body clips but that big black magnet on the outside of your lexan would look lousy.
They are still staring back at me from the bin on my desk! :roll:
Noticed these Du-Bro E/Z connectors in a hobby shop the other day and thought they looked very similar.

**looks** like a D3 can and endbell, that would put it at 96-97.

Which KO esc is hiding in that first pic?

Hi Charlie

It's actually an Mtronics speedo! 96-97? Far too modern for me, give me Le Mans and Technigolds any time!
