Kyosho Rowdy Baja
Another project which just needs a little work. Really love these proper old skool IC rear engined buggies. This one was in good shape and just needs repainting, decals and a little polishing! Someone has reversed the engine and mounted it round the other way to enable a hex start to be used. Interesting little mod, also fitted with a remote needle valve assembly which I haven't seen before. These things really are big - just about 60cm long!!

Very nice find, I love these old metal frame Kyosho cars, if the engine is the other way round how does the transmission hook up? The car seems to be well looked after and in good condition, good luck with the restoration.

Not quite sure yet Biscuit. Looks like they may have modified the crankcase cover to enable a drive to be taken off the rear, a little like the one way hex starter drives found on modern buggies.

Really nice classic! Looks in amazing condition, you just can't beat a real old time model! Nice one!!

BitD I remember racing (for fun) these rwd buggies on grass, hot summer evenings, power sliding under-steer, jumps etc ))
