I just recently bought a bigf lot of nitro buggies. The thing is, the owner doesn't know what brand they are( not being into rc cars). Does anyone know what kind of buggy they are? To me they all look to be 4wd, I was thinking maybe associated or something. I don't know what scale they are either. Any help will be appreciated. I don't have the buggies yet, so I can only look at the pics.

Might be some modded RS4 MT's....I dunno.

wow...just out of curiosity...how much did they cost?

I paid $100 for the whole lot, plus about 20 nitro engines.

Looks like a car!!!!.......yupp it's a car!... other then that looks like a buggy with tc wheels on it

I was thinking the same thing. At first I though it was a NTC3. But they run the spur gear back further. Now that I look at the pic more I believe them to be only two drive.

20 NITRO ENGINES!!!!.....thats nuts r any of em' any good!!!?.... like do they work?

I was told that most of them do work. I will check everyone of them when I get the lot.

100 bucks!!! thats awesome. will u give me one?

what did you search to find that all it is a great buy just for the parts

holy smokes batman what a deal. who would be dumb enough to sell all that for 100$

Well, if it's a unknown Far East brand with zero spares availability, I would.

But if you can at least make one good car out of the bits (and there's no guarantee that you can , they might all have the same part broken) then you're laughing.

Very true. The guy I bought it all off of is not into rc cars. So he really couldn't tell me much. Someone gave him all the parts and cars. I spend a lot of time on ebay, thats were I found all this. There was about 5 days left when I emailed him an offer. With all the parts that I already have, I can get most of these cars into working order. I maybe posting some things up for sale so watch out here on RCU.

nice deal man, hey send me an engine

Get in line!!

Nothing is ever free in the world .

the engines look like generic .12s or .15s, like the old FE15 hpi engine or the K&B 18s.

So are they buggies or cars? The one that looks to be in one peice looks to have car tires, but some of those broke ones look like they have buggy tires.


IF you find a place to buy parts for them and get one of them running, ill give ya 50 bucks for it (including one of those engines, one that works that is).

to me they look like either the traxxas nitro rustler' modifed with aluminum chaisses. if not then i would have to say they are some thing from associated..

they cant be nitro rustler, first off the rustlers tranny is not in the middle, the upper deck is diff, it aint 4wd, and its a bit bigger

Have a search for MARDAVE looks like it may be one of thier chassis let me know if you have any look!
Mardave were/are a british buget r/c car kit manufacturer started in the mid to late 80's...............
Good luck!

Mardaves are still quite sort after here in the uk!
May even ask to buy it off you !

Got the cars today. Most of them look a bit beat up. The engines I say 3 will run as is. Many of them have something broken off of them ( head fins), but I have lots of parts for them. The engines are F2M .15's, I never heard of them. I have a ton of NIP parts, 3 Turbo tuned pipes and manifolds, 3 airfilters and fuel line, 5 sway bars, 4 rims, 3 sets of tires, tons of shocks, screws, screws, and more screws. No name on the cars though. They are two wheel drive, 4 are complete. most of the shock towers are bent on the cars. They do seem to be buggies with on road tires. Anyone know what they are??? Anyone need some parts???
