He was after a front shock tower.

Varicom was the manufacturer of Panda products?

Yes, that is true. I have the box for my Panda and in one spot it refers to this car as a "Pandamonium".

I vaguely remember a very weird movie by that name. I think I loved it as a kid. I posted this before a search though. Off I go... :mrgreen:

I can't access youtube from my work computer(establishment! :evil: ), but here's what I was referring too.

No idea on the xmtr, but the pics are cool! 8) The plastic seems to have yellowed quite a bit. I wonder if it would respond to the peroxide treatment? Other than that the car looks to be in very nice condition. Has it been run?

Tyres are perfect 2 scratches on front bumper, as new otherwise chassis, plastic has yellowed, has a Thunder Tiger decal on the wing, the TX is double weird, 4ch no trims and 3 program buttons, 27.145mhz, but 3 way band switch a b c
most odd, buggy has acoms servos and rx and a 27.145 crystal, so he may have run it with panda.
Any light on tx would be appreciated led power and 8AAs
:D

I am guessing I have a spare Tank handset from a Heng Long Tiger

This was my first rc car. I mugged that car and never broke a single part. I literally drove the rear tires off of it. Been searching for one for a little over a year now and finally found one today that is in very good condition. Had the original box too. I knew it as a Pandamonium. Panda also made a Cyclone that was pretty much a Grasshopper clone.

How crazy, found one and made the purchase today. Cost me a whole $30 shipped :) Never thought I'd find one of these.

I think thats about what I gave for mine RTR a few months back. I just bought the Panda Stocker for 16 bucks RTR a few days ago. Fun little cars!
Those are my toys and no I will not share!
