Thanks, I guess its the silver fox..

the seller says its a bit rugged, what would it be worth ?

He made it start yesterday, and drove it for some minutes before it ran out of gas.

Anyone know how much I would offer him for it..

I would say 150.00 max. I have been looking for a Landjump forever, within my price range, and while I have been unsuccessful in that respect, a close relative of the Landjump, which is the Grandaddy of the Kyosho 1/8 full cage gas cars, would be the Vanning. I believe the Vanning is quite similar to the Silver Fox, as there is alot of plastic or nylon parts in both of those, although the suspension is considerably different. I have personally bid on some of the Vannings recently on ebay, and there have been alot of nice speciments going for 200.00 or just short of that. In reality, I am not completely certain of the quality of the Silver Fox, but hey, if you like it, that is all that really matters. I did email one of the nice fellas from Landjump.net or com, and their opinion was that the Silver Fox was a knock off of the Landjump/Vanning, and not as good. So, for whatever that is worth.

TO me, landjump is the best metal roll cage buggy..moreover the parts are easily available too at ebay as compared to silver fox..

that is what i think..

I looked at the car yesterday, it wasnt the Silver Fox it was a 2WD car I dont even know what ist called, it looked a bit like the Kyosho Rowdy Baya, anyone know what car that could be..

The Thunder Tiger version was called the Silver Fox. (At least it was here !!). If my memory is working(lapsing of late)[] - they only did the 4wd version.

When I bought mine, it was advertised as a Varicom Silver Fox, dunno how accurate the advert was though
