Does that have variable speed in forward?
I miss brushed motors in that hazy, everything seemed better when I was a kid, kind of way.

Normal and turbo with headlights, 2 speed gearbox on the axle, probably for normal batteries, it came with the optional nicd and charger luckily. Soft rubber tyres, would be good as proportional, they even went 27mhz with stock crystals, one in handset one under roof spoiler, it has a horn button, and does a fair air brake noise when stopping, I liked the colours of my other black one better, no sound unit on that though.

That is pretty cool, but seems a little large for 1/24th scale? It would be cool to set up a road block with some plastic models built up and crash through them with that.... :mrgreen:

I thought that looked familiar.... this is the centre-spread poster from the December 1991 / January 1992 issue of Australian Rc magazine Dirt & Track (issue number 22).....
Thunder Road.JPG
Unfortunately, no article that I can find as yet....

Getting a semi from (a) Nikko does seem a little far-fetched.... :lol:

1/25 is about right, you can take the trailer box off on a clip, leaves a treaded car transporter, fits xmods a treat about 3 at a time
