Regarding the front shock mount being close to the Scorpion one - Yes, but no cigar.
The Monster might take the prize for the buggy with the longest rear wheel shafts :-)

I noticed that inside the rear wheels there was a long alloy sleeve over the axle.
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.

Fronts and rears both were. I took them off for now but yeah- if it was preassembled they did it wrong :lol:

This is the kind of cars my local hobby shop in the sticks would always carry, the Monster, the SG coyote, the Aristocraft collection(Kangaroo/Dolphin/Wildebeast) and the Traxxas The Cat. Never a competition buggy no RC 10 no Kyosho or Tamiya products. When the Traxxas Bullet came out it was the only almost competition buggy they carried. Hence I lived out of a Tower Hobbies Catalog all my youth.

I just came across this AYK Buffalo and thought holy crap, that looks like the back of a Monster!

I think the sequence of events ran like this , first came the Kyosho Scorpion , this had it's rear end "heavily inspire " the rear of the AYK Sidewinder and then the Buffalo , some time after that Ishipla copied the Buffalo rear but ran out of money so grafted it to a Grasshopper front end .
