I've tried all the links in this thread...the issues on internet archive I have on PDF, I have a lot of paper issues, but I'm missing from 1989 to 1994.
Has anyone got a working pdf link for these issues?
Thanks!

Cool. I've never seen that paint scheme on a Buffalo before. The box art scheme was a lot less interesting. :P
AYK promoting their new for the year Radiant 4wd buggy and Trinity Dirt Shootout win in 1987. The Radiant was built upon a pair of vertical anodized aluminum side plates sandwiched between upper and lower fiberglass decks. Suspension was handled by...
AYK advertising both the 4x4 Viper and Boxer in 1986:

That's a pretty cool buggy! Very interesting....
It's almost like I've seen the rear suspension... somewhere.... :wink: :mrgreen:
Very cool! And they assemble the tires for you! :lol:
You know it's ready to run when the tires come mounted...

Funny what you do and don't remember sometimes. MRC was really big on taking the back cover for their ads. Not the latest racing tech of the day but like you said, they looked cool.
This MRC ad from 1999 shows a pair of new vehicles introduced that year...

Short answer:
1/8th scale
Long answer:
The Nitro Thunder King was advertised as 1/8th scale and shared the same 14 inch wheelbase as the electric Thunder King and Baja King World Scale trucks... which, like 1911Colt mentioned, never had a...
In 1993 Model Rectifier Corporation brought their World Scale to market with the MRC Thunder King. Offered as a larger option to 1/10 scale trucks the kit featured a pressed aluminum chassis, fiberglass shock towers, aluminum oil filled shocks and...
Never one to leave well enough alone, Duratrax found a way to fuel the desires of early 90's gas truck racers.

Funny what some people remember that others don't, isn't it? A lot of aftermarket conversion parts were kinda crude back in the day compared to now. I've got some Duratrax chassis' that look like they were cut with a hand saw so, a janky chain drive...
1999 saw lots of new in Schumacher's lineup ads. The Fireblade Evo, SST Axis Pro, and Nitro 21 XT were all updated from their previous iterations for the '99 model year.
The SST 2000, receiving yearly upgrades to improve handling and performance would receive a new moniker in 1999, aptly labeled the SST '99 Pro. Upgrades to the chassis, suspension and driveline over the previous year SST '98 were detailed by...
Released in 1992 the Club 10 was marketed as an entry level kit capable of being easily switched between truck and buggy forms utilizing Schumacher provided parts. The kit was based on the Courgar 2 chassis and included a motor and mechanical speed...

The original Club 10, (the Mk1, if you will) was pretty much a re-released original Cougar in many areas, but with some updates for later tech (hubs, towers, shocks, diffs, etc.). Things really changed up when the Mk2 came along - plastic-bodied...
Schumacher brought the Nitro 21 XT to market in 1999, two years after releasing the original Nitro 21 XS. The XT's more powerful engine sat atop a bright yellow powder coated Cougar style aluminum chassis with revised shock towers and chrome turbo...
Closely resembling Schumacher's 1997 Cat 2000/Fireblade 2000 full page ad this '98 version included space for the SST 2000 while pitching the availability of factory direct purchasing:

In keeping with Schumacher's history of continual evolution 1998 saw the release of the Fireblade 2000 USA. Changes over the original Fireblade included a relocated transmission for lower polar rotation, bulkhead refinements, and a return to...

Schumacher must have changed ad agencies between the Fireblade and the Fireblade USA :lol:
Schumacher introduced an all new 2wd buggy in 1997, the Fireblade 2000. An exercise in radically lower center of gravity, everything on the Fireblade was about getting vehicle weight as close to the ground as possible. The redesigned slipperless...
A nitro version of Schumacher's SST 2000 electric 4wd touring car hit the market in 1998, dubbed the Nitro SST it retained the same Cat 2000 4wd buggy sourced drivetrain as the electric SST but on a nitro specific twin deck carbon fiber chassis:...

I bought a 95 Team car version of the Cougar 2000. By this time though, my 1:1 drag race Pinto was ready to run, so the Cougar didn't see much action.
1996 brought to market the Schumacher Scale Tourer... SST 2000. Utilizing the Cat 2000 drivetrain in a 4wd 1/10 double deck touring car chassis the SST 2000 would see yearly updates to improve handling. First in 1997 with the SST 2000 SP which...

Yeah nah, that's not correct. Mk1 was Irvine S15R at .15 / 2.5cc. Mk2 Irvine S15R2, still at .15 / 2.5cc - just a few slight improvements (block, carb, etc.). Mk3 came with the option of a .12 engine (a Leo, from memory), or no engine at all, and...
1992 brought the debut of Schumacher's new Bosscat. The gradual evolution of the CAT to the Pro Cat SE gave way to a completely new 4WD buggy. Carbon fiber replaced fiberglass in the new chassis and shock towers, the suspension was redesigned for...

To me this represents the ultimate expression of the original series. Although it doesn't share a lot of parts with the CAT, XLS, or Pro CAT, the overall design philosophy was the same. Last of the pillow ball CATs. :D
Brought to market in 1990 and based on the Cougar aluminum chassis the Shotgun with its high riding body was Schumacher's introduction to the monster truck racing scene.

Schumacher was a rare animal in my neck of the woods, special order stuff. Comically, I don't even remember any of the local hobby shops carrying Traxxas cars or parts back in the day... JMHNBSA2 :wink: :D
Released by Schumacher in 1991 the Nitro 10 shared the same chassis as its electric counterparts and could be had in a variety of configurations from stadium trucks and buggies to on-road touring cars, in both two and four wheel drive. Featured here...

Would like to get a clear picture of the #4 car in that ad... it looks like it's got lightning bolts... I like lightning bolts. :mrgreen:
Introduced by Schumacher in 1991 the Cougar 2 could be had in three models, Sport, Team, and Racing, all underpinned by a formed aluminum chassis and ball differential equipped transmission.

This is one of the most under-rated cars of all time. I switched from a Top Cat to a Losi XX at the time, so I never had a Cougar bitd. Decades later, I picked up a Cougar 2 Team and was blown away by how good it was. :D
Brought out by Schumacher in 1989 the ProCAT retained the Crashback front suspension of the original CAT lineup but on a wider fiberglass chassis that allowed for saddle pack battery mounting. The front and rear diffs were also upgraded, and on the...
The CAT XLS was an upgraded version of the Cat XL, which itself was a long wheelbase version of the original CAT (Competition All Terrain) buggy. Distribution in America was initially handled by Trinity as can be seen in this ad from 1988:
The Kong, released in 1986, was MRP's foray into 1/10th scale monster trucks. Built in conjunction with Hirobo the Kong sported huge off-road wheels and tires and a high mounted Ford F-150 truck body on top of a Hirobo 44B belt driven four-wheel...
Yeah, I had some of those and the programs they used to hand out as well. I may very well still have some of those items but haven't come across any of it in at least a decade by this point. Although, I do have a USHRA hat in my closet that I don't...
