Original eighties Beetle, compete strip down and clean and replacement of plain bearings with ball races. Frame rails are very straight compared to other models I've worked on. It has an open diff and standard 540 motor. Bought this without a shell about ten years ago but got hold of a second hand o...

Looking like a good survivor and an excellent base for restoration . One of my friends had a Brat back in the 80's and one thing it suffered from was the rear hex drive shafts (dog bones ) rounding off , no matter what he did or how well lubed and sealed they just wore out , the Re-Re has regular d...

The buggy came with this fully working but very dirty Tamiya transmitter. I can't find a lot about it online apart from it appears to have been supplied with the little Tamtech models in the eighties. I really like the look of this unit. Info very welcome, thanks. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535...

As I say, suggestions on affordable second hand receiver and ESC would be most welcome. I've been ahead and stripped the car right now so I can get to know the ORV design better. Yet to delve into the gearbox though. I'm thinking I'll run it with the 380 at first (never seen one in action) then swap...

Hey folks, Early Brat has been lurking in my attic for a couple of years and lockdown here in the UK has given me an excuse to drag it out. This is my first ORV having been a Kyosho Scorpion/Beetle kid. The car is very original and likely quite low miles. It has the 380 motor, setup to take a 6v bat...

Great model, great photo.

Many thanks for replying.

Hi all, is this a Kyosho model?

Much obliged all!

Dear folks, can anyone identify this 1/10 buggy on eBay UK?

Couldn't resist, £60 worth of Beetle sans shell but with original radio box cover, in much better nick than my own one saved from the 80's. http://jpegbay.com/gallery/004333066-2.html#2 Good rear tires and rims, proper diff instead of spur gear. All plain bearing, missing front wheels but I have a B...

Great video, really enjoyed it.

Sorry its kind of long and repetitive but I'd already cut half the clips and didn't want to cut...

Hi Lars, does anyone make side bars that might fit a Scorpion? For protecting the rear wheels and arms I mean.

thanks

Yeah the Assault chassis was a great buy what as it the gearbox also contains a silky diff not to mention pretty straight rails and the rear cross member.

Ingenious use of materials, wonderful engineering, great thread.
