Bolink Invader MT - Stadium Truck

[RC10resto]

looks like it was never run. can't find much / any info about this model

I love it! Definitely not many around.

pretty sure the speed control is wrong- that era Bolink had an Associated style wiper with micro switch reverse with a modular plate that double side tapes to the servo.

I can't help busting out laughing! You need to WOIN that thing! lol Maybe have the plate pieces cloned so you don't scar up the original bits.

Thanks Speed
and yes, the MSC is being held by one loose screw

Cool old truck!

Really neat. Looks like one of Bob Stormer's gear reduction boxes between the motor and motor plate.

That's what I told him in a pm earlier guess we both remember those reductions

I vaguely remember these trucks and I always wondreed how they would work.

I agree you should do a oin with some new plates and take it to a track and see how it goes.

I could see it being decent on an oval track.

I can see it now... a nice carbon fiber weave plate set, some short big bore shocks, modern 2.2 truck rubber, lundsford turnbuckles, aluminum screws, brushless and lipo... Ultimate WOIN subbing weird for what

If it was used........maybe.
But my collector gene will not let me destroy something that has survived













even if it is a POS

[GoMachV]

It's not a POS...it was just misunderstood


Or rather, IT misunderstood what a monster truck was

It would have been a fast truck in dirt oval

No need to destroy it, there doesn't look to be much on that that couldn't be copied and made with a bit of simple hand tools! lol

I agree that you should leave it alone in that condition.

Looks like the original body was a Bolink S-10...and you can still get those new from RJ Speed. A Blazer would work too.

That's what I was thinking. pick up the rear axle/motor pod from a modern car and then make new plates to match those. I think it would be fun.

Invaders are cheap and easy to come by, it's the monster truck conversion wheels that would be tough.
