Hi does anyone know or have comment on this model of rc? Thinking of buying it second hand. It has a gp15 engine car. What would be a reasonable price to pay?
Thank you

Its hard to put a value on something with out seeing pics an details of it.Like how well it was
taking care of.
I've heard of those in which I think Tamiya & Kyosho made,I don't know if theres a race bracket for them,
maybe rally type.
Some maybe of a collector type ,not sure!

We need to see a few pics of the mechanical parts. The body needs to be taken off so we can see the insides.

Did you actually purchase that yet ?
To be honest with you ,I diidnt even know that nikko made a nitro rc car an I wouldn't touch it!
If something breaks or gets worn out ,you may not be able to find a part for it.
One of the goals in getting in this hobby is to find a good brand were the parts are easier to
be had!
Sorry,but that's my opinion!

They've been around since '58 and by the looks of it, so has your radio. To the best of my knowledge they're pretty much toy grade by today's standards. They have the EXACT same 1/6 scale Humm Vee as New Bright, and that's about as rinky-dink as it gets.
Even if you got it for $20 you'd have to spend too much for something that's old and useless and I'm sure parts would be impossible to get.
We're not trying to bum you out, we're just giving you the advise we wish someone had given lots of others who got stuck buying someone else's trash.

After 2 minutes on google:

Definitely a 2wd toy with a nitro engine in it. Never knew they made one. Found some vids on youtube, sounds like it's a single speed too.

I'd just buy it as disposable toy...

same chassis layout of a 2wd electric i had from nikko except engine is mounted on the opposite side,

if you do buy it you may find some of the nikko electric arms may fit and maybe the suspension form similar size nikko cars from the same year it came out or maybe some of the newer ones

personally i wouldn't buy it especially since i can't find any parts what so ever on ebay or google

found a post on another forum started in 2012 the car is from 1997 or there abouts
