Hi all, here's my "brand new" 1987 buggy. Yes, never been run 1/8 scale buggy from 1987-1988 from a particular company and along with the buggy a Picco engine from the same era "brand new" as well. Yup, never run Picco from 1987-88. Good luck guessing the mfg and model. :)

very cool - i have a 87 kyosho burns that's in good shape - they just don't build them like that any more (and maybe for good reason..)

hmmm....I believe this is an SG Leopard? Or an Alpha?? That's my guess...

Definitely not a Kyosho...

That is an SG Tiger.

It's a bit difficult to find parts. :)

I'm half tempted to get it up and running just to run it once. I've had since 1988, so it's maiden run would be some time this year!
