Snappy1 966 Posted July 10, 2017 That is mostly a Tamiya Astute, although the front arms and uprights look like they are off a Thundershot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a couple of cracks and breaks in some plastic parts corrosion and rust on screws and metal parts That's why I'm unsure on price I see they sell for quite high prices might as well clean it up try bring some life back to it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snappy1 966 Posted July 11, 2017 The weak link in an Astute will always be the ball diff , then the fragile front end Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peter_B 997 Posted July 19, 2017 From first glance the one on the left said Schumacher to me. The chassis pan looks familiar and those wing mounts definitely look Schumacher-y. Probably a Cougar I reckon. No idea on the other one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnipJF 9192 Posted July 19, 2017 I am sure I remember seeing something like the one on the right in a vintage RC magazine once. That gearbox is quite distinctive. I vaguely recall it being of German origin - Robbe or Graupner perhaps? I will do some Googling and get back to you if I find out anything conclusive.

richytanimal 3 Posted July 19, 2017 The one on the right is a Kyosho / Robbe Sand Skipper / VW Baja Bug / Toyota Hilux chassis from about 1982 😎 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnipJF 9192 Posted July 19, 2017 Yep, the one on the right is a Robbe/Kyosho Toyota Hilux. This is what it looks like with its gubbins onboard: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
