Popular Post Buggy Malone Posted December 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2021 Hi Guys, I bought a new Kyosho RC Ferrari F40 about 30-years ago and I've kept it in a box ever since - it was ran three times. I was hoping that some wise RC'er could tell me more about it please; i.e. was it a good car and what chassis etc? Pics below for reference. Thanks in advance, Andrew P.S. 30-years is a long time to remember techy stuff 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just read the link and it appears that I must have bought it in 1989-1990 which fits with what I was doing at the time......so even older than I first thought. You've been a big help, Andrew Edited December 4, 2021 by Buggy Malone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Might be wrong but the chassis looks same as the Ford RS500 cosworth i had, these things are fetching a fair coin these days 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think about selling a kidney to pay for this new RC habit of mine but selling the Kyosho F40 might be easier 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some say it was 4wd but i have not seen a box that shows it Edited December 4, 2021 by turok007 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
