Id love one of these, but i wouldnt know which one go for. I guess the chassis is the same on both?

chassis is the same.....if you do get one, get a body set of the other one as well, use one as a shelfer....and TRASH the other one...lol

Here is my old gal.....remember that most of the parts are the originals....I was given this car in 1982 I believe, my granny bought it as a gift for my brother and I ....









Unfortunately the original body was destroyed, so the one in the picture is from a Monster beetle. The bodies differ slightly, like the door handles and mirrors, there are also holes in the sides for mounting that I have closed up. I need to get painting, but the re-release of the Scorcher has caused me to lose interest a bit. It was intended to be a birthday present for my brother, and I suppose for that I will need to finish it. The window glass is original, the wheels are original. And ALL the other parts are original. I have painstakingly sanded and polished all the non-cast metal bits...and they shine like new....not bad for almost 30 years old huh! :-)

That looks mint!

nice kit andy, that hard sanding has paid off it looks great! especially when you say its 30 years old.....

it is

waaa!!! so pretty i remember i used to have one too. when i was just... you know... hahahaha! now where could that chassis be... i know its stack up somewhere in our house back home... haayyyzzz

Feel like a kid again.....if you had one in your youth.....you will know the feeling of seing the blister pack marvels....
The old saying "They dont make em like they used to" is true....except Tamiya DOES..!!

very cool man, congrats! the packaging is wicked!

now get it build before we go to al ain, so we can see it in action there! hahaha

HERES MY GASOLINE SAND SCORCHER HAHAHAHAHAHA

but that EP scorcher looks soooooooooo tempting, i need to save up for my slash 4x4 first.....

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

i just found an original ford ranger, mint in box!!!! the only problem is that its selling for $1000 - the price of my baja

Very nice ahmed really nice.

I know a guy who will swap his mint Ranger NIB, for your Baja.... tempted?

hmmmmmmm.....................seriously tempted, but that would mean saying goodbye to all the gasoline, loud exhaust, huge roostertails, biig block torque, sand paddles, high jumps...........i am seriously interested.............what about cash? PM me....................

FOUND THIS GOLDMINE VIDEO - ORIGINAL BY TAMIYA!!!!!!!

LOL....I am sad, I have all of those on DVD!!

The Ford will always be the 'odd one out' of those 3. It is NOT as true to design as the others...The Beetle running platform is actually very close to a VW bug (it was modelled on the bug, probably why, d'oh!), the Rough Rider was based on a Funco buggy that some used the Beetle body pan and engine.....The ford is NOWHERE near that. The real ford F150 was 4WD, had live axle at the back and some had a front live axle too....the rear wheels at camber like they are in that video makes it the 'black sheep' of that family...

The FORD Ranger body fits PERFECTLY on to the CC-01 chassis, and is a lot more realistic as a result...

the buggy champ looks like an off-road version of the caterham.. now thats what i want!!!

classic old school vid! nice find ahmad!

jay, caterham would be cool, also wouldnt mind seeing a ktm xbow kit!

ahmad, keep the baja dude!!! and get the slash 4x4!

that i am going to do Paul, ----all in good time my freind, the baja is staying till the day i leave this earth!!!! - along with slash 4x4 platinum, Venom Gasoline boat (king of shaves) and possibl ford ranger NIB - if found

ahmad, nice one dude!

i still need to get a baja at some point, when i have a bigger house....to store it!!!

have a look at the traxxas slash 4x4 ultimate edition, its a platinum edition with painted shell, 2.4ghz radio and battery....

i want to put in an SR300 receiver and i want to make it have a monster energy theme......i think i'll stay platinum......plus the ultimate is just wayy too out of my budget..........i can help you get a baja anytime u like, just lemme know and its done......they dont need that much space, u could just store them in their box in your garage or shed or garden yard or atic or even in your kitchen cabinet (if big enough)

monster energy will look cool man!

i'll let you know when i'm ready to baja...at the moment we're in an apartment so no garage, shed or garden yard....kitchen if full....may need to look at making some storage space in the ceiling void....hahahaha

or you could just store them in your car paul like most of the guys here do.. so that the mrs wouldnt see lol

btw ahmed i got the payment already and gave te items to vin ok. thanks man. goodluck on your exams.
