Eleck Peanuts Kyosho Dune Buggy 1978 !
Just built this new in box Peanuts. One of Kyosho's first RC cars from 1978. Couldn't resist adding wing mirrors and a wiper. It has front and rear suspension, torsion bars and three gears, plus a variable speed forward and back MSC. And yes, pneumatic rubber tyres, despite the fact they look plastic in the pictures. It has a removal battery tray, so you can slot in a standard 7.2v Nicad stick pack. And there is room for RX batteries, as this pre-dates BEC. Bought off ebay last week for £120.

Very cool, love that MSC. And the simple vintage layout

I had one for a while! So vintage and pretty cool!
For the money you paid l would call that a bargain considering it's from 1978! I put the Sand Rover dude in mine just to add a bit more relisim!

Does the Sand Rover Dude fit Ok ? I agree, that sounds like a great idea, thanks.

Yeah he does but he is a little off scale but not a bad fit!

Cool, yours looked in even better condition than mine. I'll buy a Sabd River dude and see how I can cut it down a smidge to improve the scale look. Thanks again.
