Has anyone ever seen one of these.



I got it from a friend many years ago. I was hoping to rebuild it since you don't see many 4wd sand rails running around. If anyone has any information as to the make and model (or anything else for that matter) it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Camron

I think its an old kyosho buggy, but I could well be wrong. It'd be cool to play with thought!

Yes thats an old Kyosho Vanning or Land Jump.

If thats yours, you can get a pretty penny for those landjumps! I would keep it and restore it.

wow...is that chain driven?[X(]

bigbadbowtie

It is. Here is a picture from landjump.com of the driveline. Very cool RC.

Yeah, its chain driven, like I said, worth a pretty penny.

Hi Everybody,

Thanks for the info about the origins of my car. I hope to begin the restoration as soon as I can get some more money together, and find an engine that will work. BTW, while looking at pictures of the Kyosho Vannings and Landjumps something just didn't seem exactly right. It was then that I saw this picture of a Silver Fox Gold Edition manufactured by Thunder Tiger (or maybe Varicom). I now believe this to be the actual model that I have. Once again a BIG THANKS to bigbadbowtie for pointing me in the right direction. Below is a picture of what I hope my silver fox to look like one day.

Thanks

I also included a picture of the Landjump. The difference in the shock mounts is what initially made me think it was not a Landjump. Tell me what you think.

bigbadbowtie

I think your are correct. Sorry for the bad info but they do Look alot alike.

That does seem to be a Thunder Tiger Silver Fox. The shocks are different! Thats an excellent find in my opinion and will make a GREAT project RC!!
