Name that buggy!

[vintagercweb]

Here is a link to a buggy that I can't identify. I was hoping one of my club mates might know what it is.

Thanks for the help in advance!

No wonder, it's virtually invisible...

[vintagercweb]

Why do you say that Grunt?

[Gruntfuggly]

Where's the link? []

I'm still new on this board, I hope this is right.

Have another go! I've got a horrible feeling that when I tried to insert a link once I had to convert the uppercase characters in the tags to lowercase... or maybe that was another board...?

If it doesn't work next time, just put it in the text...

Thought for a second I was just a dolt.[8)]

Its a PB Mini Mustang from 1987! also later known as Mini Mustang Eco and Maxima.

Do a search, there's a few past threads on PB's 1st 1/10th electric.

Your example has wrong (too short) springs on the rear shocks (original shockers), front shocks are non-orig. The red wheels are orig PB (same as Hotshot fitment), not sure about tyres if they're orig or replacements.

Looks like a plain layshaft 1spd spurgear; there's also a 2spd version of the Mini Mustang. They came as 2WD & 4WD kits as well... is yours 2WD only?

Thanks Willy, this is an auction pic, I wanted to know what it was before I bid on it. It looks like it will go for about $30.00 USD. I'm not too familiar with the PB kits. There aren't too many of these here in the states. I may just have to pick this one up. I'll have to look into parts though. Are these common in the UK?

Hey vintagercweb.... that's a nice Mini Mustang there.... looks to be in good condition, and for US$30, it's certainly a bargain.... I know I'd buy it...

If you do get it and need parts, or decide you want to sell it on, contact me, I have a bunch of parts for these, as well as a couple of chassis in restoration.

vintagercweb,

Did you manage to win the auction? Email me if you need parts. I don't have the body or chassis, but do have just about everything down to the last screw. I'm located in Hawaii. What State are you in?

Awesome find bro!

Later,
