Also known as the Mini Craft Lazer which was sold by Tower Hobbies back in the late 80's . Pretty much a Grasshopper clone with some hop-ups. Cool car.

well i wouldnt mind either one but the thing is i dont want to get ripped off. Im not saying you will rip me off i just cant find anything about this car online. i know quite a bit about vintage rc cars and a vintage nib is worth a few bucks. what would you be willing to offer. trade wise or cash wise.

Technically I think it's the same car they sold as 'roadrunner' in the late nineties and onwards. This body does look way better to me though.

The body was actually made by Parma under the Sly One name for the Fox.

good idea
If you ever need spare parts or option parts you can most likely use whatever is available for the grasshopper and hornet
