Another Random Nitro...

Recommended Posts

I bought this a long time ago with a view to converting it to electric but never got around to it so sold it on. Think it was stamped 'Testors' and was made in the 1970s but that is as much as I know. Thinking back to it, I'm not 100% sure it even had steering? It was quite large though. Any ideas?

Ha that’s exactly why I bought it. Always seemed a lot of soft plastic to have nitro in it though

Its a Cox/Testors model. Should have a 0.49 Cox glow engine fitted in the back.

Very early days of nitro and most of these were direct from the tether car ranges. They soon realised the plastic wasn't good enough for bashing away from a string. Would be a sin to change it from nitro in my view.

Its long gone now - forgot who I traded it to. I only rediscovered it because I got a reminder I originally posted it to my showroom about 15 years ago!
