Kyosho Cactus

[59burst]

scored this one yesterday. very clean for it's age to me.
the first thing I did was replacing the tires. and I like the way it looks with old proline tires

the original tires are sealed like a inner tube for 1:1 cars. very interesting

Wow, that thing is neat! I thought I knew of just about every vintage buggy out there until I saw this.

my LHS (Mr. ED visited the shop years ago) had this one displayed from 80's to early 2000's. it took alomost 10 years to see this again. I didn't pay any attention on this buggy when it was sitting on their display rack. but it looked very attractive when it was listed on my forum a few days ago. I couldn't help myself. so I posted "I'll take it" then my wife sent a bank wire to the seller. it took only a few seconds

I'm not sure on it's age. but this web site is saying it was 79 or 80.
