Are those last two images Kyosho caterpiller Nitro models??

ibstar

yeap nitro or electric

p113

yeh they are kyosho 1/10th scale nitro or electric the basic 1 no servos or anything is about £180

Sir Not Appearing

They still offer those? I think Kyosho pulled the plug on the electric on in the early 90s and then they were re-released it as both nitro and electric in around '96 or '97. Haven't seen one since. BTW, they were marketed as Kyosho Blizzards here in the US.

I'm in the middle of putting nitro quake wheels and tires on my marder....[sm=bananahead.gif]
"thunder quake & axis buggy wheels would also fit the adapter's"
a friend made the adaptors for me...[8D]
this is nothing fancy or bling,just something i wanted to do.....lol

REAR VIEW..oops should say "nitro quake" not "thunder quake"


SIDE VIEW..oops should say "nitro quake" NOT" thunder quake"


ADAPTER'S

ADAPTER'S



ooops sorry for the blurry pics i got a cheap cam.....
big adapter has 6 sides where marder has only 4 sides

RabidRacer

My Feedback: (1)

lol if you read my post it says...i'm in the MIDDLE of putting them on...in other words it is only half done........but,YES i will finish it ..I just bought 4 wheels and tires off ebay and there not here yet! i only had 2 tires here and was in a hurry to try the adapter's out. i ran it with the 2 on the rear and it ran real good,i put them on one side to get the effect of what it would look like with them on!

RabidRacer

o that explains alot.you should get some jumbo kong tires for it.

Hi Mate, Thanks for the comment! Yes it gets a very hard life, I just always get it back to mint condition before I run it again, part of the fun for me!

Here's the same car after a day out, just a different shell, my old bashing shell.............



And one more.......... with the shell I use all the time now.........



Elbow grease is free!!!

My Feedback: (1)

oh wow !!! you must have elbow's like the incredible hulk...lol
fantastic cleaning job we love it....[8D]
i don't think that mine looked that good when i first got it..[sm=confused.gif]
anyway fantastic job
i just sold this mcd 1/5 scale 4x4 with the zenoah g 230rc engine
and bought the marder...and really like it...
and i just ordered the firehammer tonight,and it is on back order so i don't know when i'll get it?
i hope it is half as good as the fg marder????????

FGUK

You didn't prefer the MCD? The Marder is excellent, but aren't the trucks all alloy? I know I'd certainly swap my alloy Marder that's in those photos for an MCD rally car, just fancy a change!

Note to anyone with an MCD rally car, that must be in top condition, please get in touch if you fancy a shiny FG!!!!

fguk....
well i had quite a few problems with the truck,front drive shafts kept breaking so i was not
to thrilled with it.maybe i just got a lemon? after i bought it from wally's rc in california he went out of business?...[:@]



32ford love the bug.....cool
it looks like i might take lesson's on how to use elbow grease...lol
another fantastic r/c love it...wow

luzine

To say your "ride" is beautiful is an understatement. Is that the original FG Marder body ?.

I admit it - I want mine to look like yours. Please help & inform.

Thanks, Luzine. [email protected]
