I guess this is one of those that you either love or hate. The bulldog was my second R/C car after the super champ so I have always liked it. I found this chassis on ebay awhile back and it turned out to be in really good shape. Then I ran across the body. Still trying to find some decals. This one, like most of my cars, is a work in progress. I will keep you all updated as I go along.

I dig it, nice car! I have a friend here who's got a new built one he intends to run

Anyone have two new tires? I just need two.

Anybody ever seen a bulldog (not bulldog II) ?

Yeah, built and repaired a few back then, even run one briefly. The mk1 is more common than the mk11 these days. The Mk1 was that good the Bulldog II never made it to the UK
never got bored of hearing the air shocks wheezing as you bounced the car up and down.

I am really digging that chassis. Cool find.

Cool car. Looks like a tank. All it needs is a gun barrel sticking out of that camel hump on top.

I went to my first hobby show here in Chicago back in 85. I picked up a bunch of catalogs and there was an ad for the bulldog. This was the first car I've ever wanted and i told myself that I'd get one some day.

About 15 years ago, I traded my kyosho slingshot for a bulldog. It was in really bad shape (dirty, muddy & rusted). I was pretty upset because I was told that it was in mint condition (this was before the digital thing was easily accessible). The car sat in the closet for about 2 years because I couln't stand to think about it. I finally decided to restore it...I polished all of the metal parts and this is how it looks today.

I still need to install the linkage, decals for the shocks and find a driver, but it's pretty close to being complete.

slow brain, I should have known before I asked: cause i saw the buldog at the last japanese vintage meeting
so what's the difference between them beside the body obviously?

Yeah, and I wanna know how the Air Shock works.

HR, that bulldog looks awesome... I already have like 4 more vehicles to track down and restore, I don't need to be looking for one of these too, dang it!

Well here's a link to a bulldog on auctions yahoo japan:

3 days left, it's a silly low price but it will sure go further up.

Thanks, but those are for the Marui CJ7 Jeep, not the Bulldog.
