Mike PullenI just got an original, very incomplete, basically chassis only one of these but still worth the £50 + £7 shipping i paid i reckon, delivered yesterday.
Came with original box and manual so i will upload the manual when i get time to set up my scanner after recent house move.
Chassis was built up, doesn't look like it was used as very clean, no marks of usage.
Front torsion bars are fitted but suspension doesn't work.
Rear torsion bars missing from chassis, parts of one were in box.
Wheels and tyres present though rears have flat spots, otherwise they all look like new.
Steering servo fitted (unsure of make yet), MacGregor Digimatic RX in a bag sealed off with rubber band and an MSC.
There is another black box in a clear bag sealed off with rubber band with wires coming out that i haven't looked at too closely to see what it is for.
Also had some incomplete parts from sprues A, B, C and complete parts from sprues F and Z which would suggest this was never completed and body parts that were completed lost in time.
This will be a long term resto/rebuild as i want to keep it to original as much as possible so sourcing parts will take a while.

BozzerIf I'm honest, it wasn't bad. It took a good beating from a teenager and nothing ever broke. Unlike the Monster Beetle I had, that was always breaking suspension parts. Maybe I just ran them too hard, but that's what kids do, right? Thinking about why they didn't continue the chassis of the buggy, I wonder if it was because they engineered it so well, they wasn't making any money from it? That would make sense to me. I ran them rear tyres bald, and it just kept on going.

Sander de VolderI would say it is a demand issue, as in not enough of it. More people chose the Grasshopper or Hornet over this one probably. Funny thing about Tamiyas is that they get more fragile the higher up in the range you go.
