Well here it is my Uncles Intruder, its been sitting in his model room for years, I think the last time it ran would be the first year of their production (if anyone can tell me when that was?) he got it as soon as they came out and didn't race it for long. It hasn't done many miles but its seen a few walls he wasn't a very good driver
I think there is probably a half decent car in there somewhere. I'm going to put it in the BST with a few more pictures.

Dang, I almost missed it; only the 43rd visitor to watch it
Looks like he got a creative drift or just broke many parts for which there were no replacements at hand. still kinda like it and am sure it could be turned into a great contender for vintage class.

He's a proper modeler and never bought a part he could make

Go for it Northy,
I like this thing pretty much, but with the shipping cost to Japan,
4 off-roaders almost done and no real regular place to drive them...
I'm gonna pass on this and regret it later
For rims and tires: I think they use gas car style mounts, so you can even put 1/8th 4WD fronts all around!
Huge Fan!!!

ebay Alert! - There is a brand spanking new one up on ebay, if anyone is interested that is about as good as it is going to get!
I raced against a fair number of these cars in Hong Kong and I have to say that they hold a special place in my heart, not the most durable (they got better as mod parts came out) but the people that raced them knew they were using the underdog and it was always nice to see one pull a win off every once in awhile! Must admit that I was quite surprised when I moved over here to see how few of them there were actually used.
Still looking for a cheap project version of one of these so if anyone see's one, by all means let me know!

I know there's been a couple of Tomy intruder Adonis's on ebay for quite a while, but those are a dumbed down version of the intruder (plastic dampers, alloy chassis, diffs) I've been looking for a mint intruder for a while.

If you search the Ebay stores there are a bunch of these that people keep listed.

yeah, but these are the "adonis" kit, quite a bit different from the standard intruder, but If I'm just not looking hard enough someone should post the link
