RCL International Incident
This is a fairly new acquaintance for me. But once I first saw one I just had to try and get one for my collection. They seem to be very race. As many of you know I'm a big F1 fan - and this is the most F1 inspired 1:10 OR car I have ever seen!
The car is complete. I even got the box. Some parts are broken, but it should be possible to fix up good for a life on the shelf.
It does not seem to have been used much. My guess is a short 'street life' that ended in a curbstone. Body need to be stripped and re-painted, but it looks to be in quite good conditon.
Thanks for looking and comments are always welcome! :-)

Looks like a nice little lockdown project... loving the price list, in Yen obviously

I have never seen one before! Great that you have so much info on it! Like you say its actually in very good condition! What's the condition of the tyres like mate? They seem to have pleaty of meat on the bone but hard, cracked or flat spot could spoil the party! Looks a fairly easy fun project any chance of more pics of the car?

Really cool buggy, quite a forward thinking chassis layout, similar to the current (ish) Durango Dex410.
If you are interested in F1 inspired buggies the car to look at is the 90's Tenth Technology Predator, its designer Richard Weatherly was an ex Lotus F1 employee on the technical side, or at least that's what I heard, the car featured many F1 derived features and concepts.

Thx guys!
I'll see if I can take some more pics. This is a future resto project, spending most time on 3D helis these days. Plus some GT Sport online racing with PlaySeat and wheel/pedals Oh and I'm 'home teacher' for my 3 kids.
Agree on the Pred, and I have one! Check it out in my showroom!
Yeah sure I could do a 3D print, but I think I'll glue + maybe a couple of pins inside should fix the front hinge ping holder (part of the gearbox). That's the only broken part. And TBH I don't think 3D printed parts look all that great.
Tires are in great condition + almost no wear. Which reinforces my theory of very little use but hard abuse

Really interesting ! looks like a model from Nichimo

Great, rare find! Believe or not, I remember these quite well from BITD. They remind me of my Royal Ripper and Nichimo Exceed.

Well well well - against my own recommendations I did get a 3D printed gearbox for it
