Great looking car, stupid question here I always wondered what are they like to drive, they seem strong like a brick do they drive smoothly?

I've driven one for awhile back in the day, they tend to have a lot of body roll do to the single front shock and they bottom out with authority However, still a joy to drive and pull hard out of the corners like any other 4-wheeler

Beautiful car. One day, I'll pick one up.

If you have access to a scanner, a scan of them would be great.

Yeah, I think so too but my scanner is out of order now.. (I will never buy hp product)
Sorry.

Just repair when it would be broken.
But needs parts stock.

I guess that is stock Yokomo. The modified Yokomo like Wonder Dog Fighter is much better than stock.

LOL wasn't there a version called the Hotdog or something too! Gotta love those Engrish names.

yes there was.. it was the entry/budget level buggy -- fibreglass chassis stick config and with bronze bushings-- oh yeah also plastic bulkheads instead of magnesium

I had one, gone now (can't believe I did not keep the wheels)

finally finished the wonder, today a brand new novak 2s to go with the novak 1 turned up in the mail ,,have to be my favorite buggy.. think ill add a novak servo when i come accross the right example...she is soooo spunky.
