If I knew you were selling it and had the money at the time I would have bought it. I have a thing for oddball R/C's. I have two Kangaroos I'm making one good one out of and a new never run Dolphin. All I need is a Wildebeest and a Koala and I'll have all the models Aristo-Craft made.

I was waiting for you to put it up there, to slow! Bloody thorn in my paw that truck

I had one of these trucks and the box and even the manual. Thought I'd never get one when I was searching for it. Actualy had a hard time believing it even once existed. It was just that hard to find.
I was told it was a good performer but the gearing was an issue from what the schuey guys on this end of the pond were saying.

COX (rebadged Kyosho) - SIDEWINDER. Surely has to be on the rare list as well. Based of the Scorpion and Beetle - and done for the US market. Great looking truck.

Another would be the truck based on the AYK Super Trail chassis........rare car in NIB or new built form.

Cheers

Seeing as they are so common, i'll give you a fiver for it

It is bizzare though that you rarely see them on ebay, and very few parts for them

Bormac is right, they are rare, the Storm 2000 was only made for about a year. There aren't that many parts that are unique, most of the suspension and transmission comes from the Cougar 2000. This is probably why you don't see many spares for them.

I'm going with the Super trail too. I just finished rebuilding mine and holy cow, parts are not easy to find.

Cool, i've got one that is falling to bits, didn't know some of the parts were interchangeable with c2000. Will have to start hunting
