Grandstand MK1 Golf GTI
won this on ebay for £5! came with the box, and is in full working condition! box has grandstand all over it, but its made by Nikko. strange this is that it will not steer unless the vehicle is moving, and its really loud! car is in really good condition, with only very minor scrapes on it. was contemplating converting it to run a tamtech cpu and motor, but will probably leave it alone!
comments welcome!

I love the MKI Rabbits! Nice find!

Nice find. It's common for the magnetic steering to only power while the drive motor is being powered. They are a lot of fun when you update the electrics and motor and modify the steering to take a servo, but this is such a nice example, I would leave it stock as it works perfect.

Looks very cool! What a win! Does it work as it should though? If so I'd leave it. Otherwise TamTech would be very interesting!

That's great! It was quite common for earlier Nikkos not to steer unless the motor power was on. I assume it is non-proportional steering operated by a magnetic solenoid rather than a servo?

RallyBaz - didn't know there was anything on at the Pod! Probably won't be going though sadly, not made many VW shows at all this year.....
as for the car, it works perfectly, so will probably just leave it alone as it is.
thanks for the comments guys!
