This is my vintage 1980s Yokomo Super Dog Fighter buggy unveiled in 2023. This build is 90% complete with period-correct batteries and electronics.

After finding out my good buddy Chris has a sweet old Dog Fighter I wanted to lend him a hand with getting it ready for the race track.
This car was in need of a little work but not past its prime. Chris also got a hold of one of Mr Lexan's 870c...
