Monster Beetle Original 1986?

I know it has a msc but this doesn't necessarily mean its from 1986, are there any other indications?  Cheers.

Hex drive shafts,

Black end bell 540?

It's an original. The re-re doesn't even have the mounting plate for the MSC, just a tube brace to bridge the gap. Nor does it include that guard over the servo saver, I don't think.

Thanks, haven't checked the drive shafts yet and if you mean the end of the motor where the motor wires are soldered on, its silver.

Thanks, I couldn't see the servo guard in the re-re manual but hadn't picked up on the msc mounting plate.

Also I wondered about the 3 spikes on each branch of the tyre treads as had seen mb's with either smooth treads or two spikes.

The tyres are not original for a MB. Also it is missing the black cover to protect the servo. It looks vintage though.

These dampers appear to be original, too.
