New to gas powered R/C i need help

[Jtwallace423]

My friend gave me a large box full of carbs, tires, engines, and a huge buggy. He thought it would be a great project for my son. He told me it was called a leopard race. Can anyone help me identify the model and maybe point me in a direction for parts and manuals any help is greatly appreciated!!! I can also upload pics if needed.

The Leopard was made by FG. Is it 2WD or 4WD? You can probably download a manual from their site once determine which model you have.

Just a word of caution here... NEVER try to start the engine till you know the radio and servos are all operating properly. The last thing you want to see is something that size hit full throttle and take off out of control.

Here's a good collection of inexpensive yet dependable systems. Don't go rock bottom but get one you won't be disappointed with.
