RNO for some reason the pms I sent you seem to not have reached.Please send any additional scans and info on the Ryuz and other competition FF specials to [email protected](that also stands for anyone else who has info-I greatly appreciate it).Race coverage of races where FF buggies raced would be awesome too!

Not a ryuz, but I heard team b. p. mention it before: the rabbit
(funny how it shares its name with the french fwd gas-buggy of the eighties)

Team, did you see the link to the racers report in the maxxum thread?

I' saw a specific note about this in a yahoo auction "not the korean version"
Any idea why it is seen as less valuable than the mugen version? Are there differences in material or finnish perhaps?

Nice Mugen :lol:

It's interesting to get a good shot of the underside, those wishbones are well swept forwards and backwards which is almost pointless as the diffs are still hanging out past the wishbone mounts. I've not seen one in the flesh, they never made it over here, but those are the best pictures I've ever seen and it does look to have lots of interesting details on the chassis. Nice one Ed.

These cars were running at the 87 worlds at Romsey England. I used to race against one with my Optima and these cars didnt impress me at the time- :roll:

I don't think they impress anyone here even today, they're just curiosa.
interesting though to see how some good stuffs like the beltdrive could be mixed into such a toyish finish otherwise: I bet the design team had some internal conflicts :lol:

Hey,
here you go.
The first one (with KoPropo on wing) won the FF Class at the '92 Japanese nats.
You can see the 'Rabbit' posted by Ed in its original shape.
