The Trooper Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Hi guys, it's been a while. My farrier has given me this buggy, it's old, he reckons around 15 years. Any idea what it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fnknan Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Looks like an inferno mp5/mp6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inferno-Chris Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) thats an MP7.5, with the GX21 engine ... ive got one myself. yours looks like an early ' sports ' model, with the white body the only difference, i can notice, from mine, is it has the elbow neck exhaust manifold, and canister type air filter. edit : i just noticed its missing the front chassis brace bar. i believe thats normal, for the early models tho. they were only fitted with a rear bar, like yours.

Awesome thanks for the ID, is it worth fixing up? I've been out for a few years having done a full circle involving nitro, 5th scale and brush less.
