Thunder Tiger Challenger 1/8th scale nitro buggy 1980's
Got this one cheap on ebay in a very sorry state. I've stripped and rebuilt it and am now on the hunt for bits. It is missing the rear part of the cage, the side parts where the engine should mount are missing as is the radio box. This thing is quite big and heavy and made mainly from metal. Looks great next to my Ishimasa Rat buggy.

And again
It's a bit bigger than my Grasshopper 2

the rears arms are very interesting, in my opinion are similar at the yokomo 834b DOGFIGHTER , I guess 1/8 scale.

The radio box is a perfect candidate for 3D printing if you can get one to copy

Great find...looks like a Thunder Tiger Challenger 83. Its a really cool car and has that Mad Max look/feel.

The Ishimasa Rat is pretty much my alltime favourite
This goes really well with it too.

Why they cut rear section?? (section used to locate the engine) Now how can you arrange that?

No idea why they cut the back, I might make up some new side pieces and engine mounts.
