PH001 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Came across this cutie clearing out the back of my garage which I had completely forgotten about! It's got Flying Point Torsen FPS written on the front and the engine has 3.5 stamped on it. I'm guessing this was some Taiwanese company back in the day. It was actually given to me by the founder of Mtroniks who I'm still good pals with. I remember unpacking it about 25 yrs ago, painting the body shell, running a couple of tank fulls on it on a bench then putting some after run oil in it and that's it! Maybe I got a girlfriend the next day or something and it was all forgotten ? It is fully complete with radio gear, engine turns over smoothly and not a scratch on it! I'm not interested in nitro anymore as have a HPI truggy flux. So, guess I'm looking to move it on - any idea what sort of price I should be asking?

tamiyafanboy Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 That's cool, wish I had a Jaguar E type stashed away in my garage that I had forgotten about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
53HRA Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I sold one like this but it was half complete. Fetched about 25 I think, so this should be worth at least double Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly In My Soup Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I'll buy that if you're selling. My lad wants an 8th scale buggy like his mums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PH001 Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Just trying to get some idea of value at present. Will clean it up and include photos of all extras, inc bodyshell etc and list in the for sale section in a few days.

capri-boy Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Probably not a great deal, unless there's someone out there that had one as a youngster and wants to relieve their youth, or is already doing that and needs spares for one they have. Memory tells me these we're flogged under various names - and a quick google throws up avioracing, and the spattering of references seem to be looking for spares. Interestingly it reminds me of early Hong Nor - who we're well known for flogging there wares to all and sundry to rebrand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
