Missed out today on....

An original bush devil, complete less body shell but box, manual and radio all included. Listed on ebay for £80 BIN but by the time I'd read through the advert and looked at the pictures, just like that it was gone

Anyone on here the lucky buyer??

Funny enough I saw it and thought - Nah!

Brittle plastics and too many missing parts. 
 

So it wasn’t me 😂

Enh, I miss out on **** all the time. Probably a good thing as it's money I shouldn't be spending and storage is a real challenge atm.

Also one other thing to remember, there will always be another, unless it's something exceedingly rare, time is your friend.

Well I've now managed to get myself the various components to build up a bush devil, I'll report back as and when I make some progress!

I think you dodged a bullet tbh @Sillyoldfox, as @Grumpy pants says the old plastic parts tend to be so brittle. You'd probably end up replacing much of it if you ran it and the design is rarer than say the Monster Beetle for example, so parts are harder to come by and there's been no rere as of yet. In my experience the only really durable part of the old, original ORVs is the chassis. That's not to say the old ORVs are not worth buying and fiddling about with, and the Bushy D does have a more robust design than the MB/FB, just that a lot of caution should be used when running the the older Tamiyas imo.

Bushy D?
