Moon Patrol
Nikko Dictator from the mid to late 80s Bought at car boot for £10 when I saw the 7,2 nicad then slowly realized I bought what looked like a kids toy and was embarrassed to be seen with it.
I cut the horrible oversized spoiler of cut the unnecessary big bumper with a wood saw got rid of the cheesy cheap stickers and re-sprayed it and painted and detailed the wheels and tire's that where originally chrome. The car runs well and is 4 wheel drive.
Same car found on the web how mine use to look.

Dude, that looks like a cool moonbuggy. I wouldn't be too embarrassed to have something like this.

Thanks mate did you see the before pics underneath Im not really sure about the spoiler or the stickers I appreciate Nikko have made some great looking buggies but I think this particular one was aimed at small children like me, even though it performs more than half as good as a proper midrange Tamiya buggy.

These cars are great with twin motor but slow at the origin but they are easy to modify with RC electronics. Mines are all modified with Tamiya twin motor ESC and you really have more torque and top speed. servomotor is easy to replace by standard RC servomotor and add a receiver

Thanks for the tip I really look forward to running this eventually!

They have landed! Very different and you'll probably see something like this at the 1:1 meets/bashes one day. Cool.
