Someone told me MRP had a 1/12 scale offroad car and he still have a kit somewhere, he just have to find this again.
I know MRP had 1/10 scale offroad cars but never heard of a 1/12 scale before, someknown knows what car this could be?

Pictures of the MRP 1/12 offroad car I mentioned before, the Datsun Baja ATV. The first picture was found at an old cataloge. The kit is still sealed so I won´t open it, at least for the moment. There is a spare body for this car what says 1978 at the rear. Tires are grooved foam tires.

Here's another promo car to sit next to my Indy car, it's a 1/8 scale like the F1 and well underpowered. I have the correct motor on the way, someone stuffed a mega motor in it lol

That driver looks like he couldn't pay Jabba back for some lost cargo.

I just got a Thunder Tiger Brushless motor named Ripper from Tower Hobbies. It's a 4900 KV 2 pole and it keeps ripping my freshly rebuilt RC-10, 6 gear trans. to shredds. It has been exploding my bearings on the Idler gears, melting the Spur Diff gear (I now have 1 diff gear that has a diff ring melted into the side of it). 2s LiPo 7.4 volts times 4900 equals 36,260 Rpm, which is far less than the 8 and 10 turn brushed motors that I was running before. Anyway, if that MRP Ripper will have that motor, it aught to be quite fast,

Cheers, Bruce

Only the name and the logo are the same, no real relation to the MRP we all knew and loved
