Popular Post igbandy Posted January 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) A few of my vintage buggies... And none of them are for sale. Schumacher CAT XLS, Owned since 1989, runs Model Motor Sport Rear diff and layshaft. Schumacher Pro Cat, Owned since 1990, runs mk1 slipper clutch, overdrive front diff, Kyosho option house gold shocks. Schumacher Cougar, owned since 1991 (I think) Runs mk1 slipper clutch, alloy housings on gearbox. A brilliant 2wd buggy, and one that I won a few trophies with. Schumacher Shotgun, owned since released but I cant remember the date. Not had alot of use this one, runs a Model Motor Sport layshaft. Yokomo Hot Dog, owned since 1996/7. Yokomo took their touring car chassis and stitched World`s 93 buggy suspension to it. Came with Team Associated shocks, fitted with a one way layshaft and is a fab buggy. It is twitchy due to its short wheel base. Team Losi JRX with weird 5 link suspension. I was given this buggy a few years ago along with a JRX Pro SE. Team Losi JRX Pro SE.

oodboo Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Here's my Tamiya Thunder Dragon. I had one when I was about 15 when they were new, got back into the hobby and had to get another. Still needs a few parts but mostly build with new re-re parts. Uses an old msc and standard silver can motor: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
