Plenty of pics of other Hirobo models here
One of the most collectable buggies is the Hirobo Jealousy - they only made 300 kits, 3/4s of them were sold in Japan.
I just finished mine of tonight.
it's a little different as all in Black, and no driver yet, and maybe never fluro....
I love it.
and I do have a few spare parts, all listed on the for sale page right now.
Great to see another Zerda up here Stu!
....as for my mate the 'fluro' driver...well lets just say that at the end of a late night and a couple of beers with the guys from our recent vintage meet I decided to paint up what was then my clear driver figure. After asking what colours to paint the guy Darryn (retro r/c) piped up and gave me the colour scheme that would then transform this little guy into a 'raving-gay homo'. Despite the guys appearance I am sure he isnt 'gay' or a 'rave nut',just someone who got his colours all mixed up-(ie: not sexual orrientation)
Nothing wrong with his "stylin colour scheme" - He's a "cage" dancer I tell you.

I have a couple of yellow roll cages, NIP, for the Zerda. I was told they are really rare (I wouldn't know for sure, I know nothing about Hirobo). I think I know exactly where the are..... in my Hirobo box in the front of my storage unit.
I am not here cause I am playing photographer and on my mountain bike. www.gojammedia.com

Here's some updated pics of my Zerda that I'll be running at Ryde this weekend.
I have just added a Schumacher slipper clutch made possible by adding a custom layshaft, made by Bugle.
This should allow for the extra power from the 13,5 Trinity brushless motor.

You can successfully dye nylon a darker color, but I'm not sure you can dye ABS plastic...I'm pretty sure the roll-cage isn't nylon. Here's the thing: nylon can actually be strengthened by the boiling water in the dyeing process. That's good. ABS...
Pretty much a new build.
I had a lot of parts gathered up over a few years.
missing the driver (although I 'think' I could use a Kyosho or indeed AE one) and missing 1 cross piece for the cage.
my story with this car was that I went to a...

With one of the test parts I did sanding with 500 grit sandpaper and then light brush with Acetone. Acetone will soften and bind the plastic layers together. It will also put a shine on the plastic. Don't use too much Acetone or it will soften the...
Now I continue with a ZERDA, who have received a small preparation to be a hard racer (modification from the age):
-The motor pass to the mid, with hand made alloy plate and alloy support gear (hm).
-A upper deck set (3), to upgrade stiffness...
It's definitely time to start a new thread today. Not that the Bearcat SS is finished (it will be soon), but because now I have started some work on the 44Bs and Zerda chassis. I'm very happy as I like to work on car with chassis variants...

Someone asked me if I can do a Vega Bumper model. He has one brand new in a box, and he has a Vega without Bumper. Challenge accepted... He gave me meausrements and I started to model it.
Then asked for a few additional measures, in particular to...

I remember the Hirobo Zerda from races in the mid 1980s. It was a very cool 4wd and whisper quiet with its belt drive. It will be a great vintage rebuild!
I have always liked the look of the pipe framed buggies and ZERDA has to one of my very favourites.
I bought this Zerda in very good condition from an old racer mate for a real bargain. It came with the box and a pile of new spares too.
Not happy...

Would you care to share how you managed to modify a hex hub to fit onto the Zerda's wheel axle? Thanks.
