Hi folks,
I've come accross a NIB 1/10 Sanwa model today.
It's a kind of 1/10 pan car with alu chassis and a 380 moter and gear diff on the rear axle. It must be pretty old: it has a battery box for single cells, like the earliest Tamiyas.
The pictures on the box say it came with a proportional radio and shows separate servo's and a proper receiver, so definitely no toy.
A quick look in the box learned me it comes pre-assembled, with a white ABS Porsche body and a large decal sheet, but the electronics must have come in a separate box: no sign of them nor space to hold them either.
Inside the box is an isomo box which closes like a food container. when the shop assitant opened it for me I could smell the rubber of the foam tires, amazing condition after so many years.
I believe the type of body is what you call GT these days, I know it as F2. It's got an open single seat cockpit with rollbar but unlike F1, the wheels are fully covered.
I left it in the shop as I don't want it myself and the thigs that didn't maek it out of japan don't sell well.
But if anyone's interested I don't mind returning there.
Or if you can tell me if there's any demand for this on e-bay?
