TOPIC:

That Robbe Cheyenne has a body which looks like a knock off from Kyosho Tomahawk... would be curious to see from where the internals inspiration comes (assuming it is part of those cars where there is a lot of components directly copied from other hits from the market at the same time, or even worse a pure rip off of the car of the moment)

Oh no, the chassis is it's own design  

 

Interesting! And just looking at the chassis, I can sense an obvious week point... Hope the upper part is fixed to the bottom part on both front and rear parts...

If useful, it seems there is a set of wheels for this car on ebay currently (saw those and asked myself if it could fit one of the Marui cars)...

Nice find Andy

Silvertriple, Yes the upper chassis fixes to the lower chassis in 8 locations Could you share a link the the wheels please

It's marked as Kyosho, but it's really not. Blue Bird was the original brand of that Robbe Cheyenne, I think... And it even existed with a monoshock version...

Edit : PS: I did some search on those couple of models as I found them quite intriguing and was about to fire an ebay order at some point. It was the day before I found the first of the Hunters I'm currently working on...

oOh those wheels are sooo nice, A shame that shipping would double the price Thanks for the link though  

Yeah, you are down under, that makes quite a long way (and cost) to cross the center of earth...
On a side note, getting 2 complete set of wheels being sent from Sweden to France is adding a 1/4 of the price of 2 sets (and if it was only one set, it would cost half the price of that set - and don't ask me how I know this, I hope I'll be able to share that soon enough... )...

I have these rims in alloy on my boomerang

Got my backordered Hotshot  2 days ago, not bad considering some of the delays these days. This will be a higher performance runner. 15T Quad Speed gems motor and full bearings, nothing too exotic.
