My AYK Super Trail 566B

Post by fristajlo »

Hi!
Thought I should share this find with you guys. Bought it for about $60 just before christmas. It came 100% complete (radio box not in pics) along with unpainted original body. Quite a rare find! I´m far too unpatient to take pics during restoration so I only have pics of the finished car. Not completely sure if I chose a good colour for the body, but I think it will look nice when the decals come in place.
edit: Oh yes, I know I put one of the rear tires the wrong way :wink:

That looks fantastic. $60 is an incredible deal.
The body color is great... very period correct. :D I had several day-glo orange buggies bitd.
Please post more pics once the decals are on. 8)

Cool! I have a soft spot for these old rail buggies. Plus, it's the same color as my Buffalo! :)

Thank you guys! It really was a find. It was the condition of the car that made me happy. Would have paid double or triple (or even more) for a 566B in this state.
I´m really a box art kind of guy, but with this it wasnt easy to find box art :wink:

That body looks just like a SG Coyote body.

Nice find!

I never had a close look at one of those...very interesting front shock setup & motor/gearbox layout.

Nice car! I bought one of those at a yard sale for next to nothing back in the 80s, could never get the mechanical speed control set up right, pronounced it "junk," and traded it for a Kyosho Raider... had i known then what I know now...

Anyway, congrats on the find!
