I think TRX1 or Nitro Hawk?

Definitely Eagle: http://www.traxxas.com/sites/default/files/legacy_partslist_eagle.pdf
May fit other models as well.

Thanks guys!

After looking at a few Traxxas pics, it looks like they are used for the Bullet, Blue Eagle, Nitro Hawk and TRX-1.

My brother had a 12th scale pan car back in 1980. Only info he remembers is it came with a BMW body. I do remember it having a sweeper mechanical speed control right in front of motor pod. Im trying to surprise him and get him one! Any help I.D with this mistery car would be a great help!

This maybe?

Close, I remember the speed control looked like a rc10 model. But he says it wasnt AE model. Ill show him the pictures.... Thank you.

Ok got another what is it. I think its cool. Looks like it has the same tires that came on my tamiya super champ. When I bought it used.

Tamiya Holiday Buggy without it's original wheels & tires?

Any idea what this is? My guess some old Kyosho? I just happen to run across this on craigslist..

Looks like a Kyosho Progress; 4WDS, from 1983:

That was quick, Thanks! I think I'll pick this up I talked the seller down to a pretty decent price. After working on my Royal Ripper for a while, I would love to have another 4wd/s buggy.

Thanks for the reply I tried finding it on the web first but came up with nothing
Yeah a seller hear had it up saying its a vintage one for $100.00 but I don't think this ones for me after looking it up and seeing one they did a re-re from what I can tell and build these kinda cheap with no dampners and an open gearbox.
Unless I am missing something about these and am mistaken yet again.

Wow I use to know some stuff back in the day about rc's take one sabatical for a few years and its almost like I am starting new.

Go for it, the Progress was a good-quality buggy. Far better than the Royal Rip-off (of the Hotshot)!

Other choice might be Kyosho Gallop. Progress and Gallop seemed to be really similar cars, biggest difference seems to be the body and front diff only in Gallop. Progress has a lexan buggy body and Gallop has a Javelin like cage. Darryn has a pic and a little text on his site about these cars: http://www.darrynsretrorc.rtox.com/kyoshomainpage.htm

progress, gallop, hurricane...
