R-Liner 4 Posted June 19, 2021 Today I was at a far neighbour and in his collection I found that. He cannot remember where he got it from. Only knew that it was years ago ;-) Could not find any information. Does anybody know that model? Based on the Chassis design I would assume it is from the 80ies.

Blissard 359 Posted June 19, 2021 It's a Chevrolet 4x4 pickup, electric version. Very cool model, I had one few years ago. https://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=69975&id=15621 (not mine) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had one back in the eighties,, and both the gearbox and the radio container were different... This is not a Chevrolet 4x4 pickup but something close...

silvertriple 3474 Posted June 20, 2021 Actually, it looks like it is a Kyosho Ford Ranger 4x4, and it was likely originally nitro powered...

I'm sure the electric motor was original, I had the same model that came with electric motor and 2 speed automatic transmission. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R-Liner 4 Posted June 20, 2021 That is great guys. That link contains many pictures so I can check if the other parts including the nitro motor are somewhere in the boxes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The front lights are round on the Chevy and square on the Ford one. But it maybe plastic parts, actually... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think that the gas motor is included, gas and electric versions were sold as separate models. Perhaps you will be able to find original, smaller wheels and tires.
