pinch the sides of the radio case and pull off / out - rear portion of metal case will slide off.

1/8 GP20 Esprit or early Landmax. The lot of parts contains some more bits for this car: top deck and possibly the engine. Maybe more

The third post is stuff to a Kyosho sandmaster ST, except the aluminum top deck, which may or may not fit the landmax car. The sandmaster suspension parts are the same as ultima, tracker, outrage, and some other kyosho cars. The trans is specific to the sandmaster and nitro tracker, but Ive been considering trying to adapt one to an ultima. Have to make a motor plate though. You hit pay dirt with that very clean very unused DS!

Nice find on the Ranger, I'd put a Buggy champ body on that and run it for fun.

Thx guys
I've never had had any of these cars
Does the sway bar have to be used on the 150
Looks like it locks the arms up
Also the motor is way to small
For the 1/8 scale
Maybe went to the bag of parts buggy
Ya the DS was well taken care of
And was able to get the radio back off and the
Batt holder is clean no corrosion
Now get some batts and flip the switch

as someone else mentioned in their reply. I don't believe that is a "sway bar" It looks to be a torsion bar/spring. The arms twist the spring which carries the weight, then the shocks are just dampening the bouncing aspect of the chassis. I've always liked the Dual Sports, have yet to find a good deal on one.
