Hirobo Tomcat

Post by Momo5 »

I picked this up locally because it sat on craigslist for a couple of weeks. I just thought it was kind of an oddball car. What can you guys tell me about it?

The Tomcat was an entry-level hobby-grade car, it came already assembled and RTR, and had some decent features for an entry-level car like oil-filled shocks, the suspension was at least better than it's competitors at that level, the Grasshopper & Hornet...which were similar in price, if not more expensive. It had a belt drive inside the gearbox, if I'm not mistaken. It was a nice-looking car, with quality similar to the Marui Galaxy & Hunter. As it was RTR and competitively priced, I remember selling lots of them at the hobby store where I worked at the time.
