Apache!
that's a long time ago - and required a specially shaped battery pack to fit the chassis. Not quite a racing machine - better off with the next buggy they relieased, the Meteor - a Leicester RC10 ! Bri |

Bri is showing his age with that in depth knowledge of the Mardave range. My first buggy was a meteor from Bob in keighley.

That optima mid jim is something else looks absolutely awesome. That was my 2nd ever rc car after my tamiya falcon.
I've a 1985 rc10 that I can run in the vintage class it's a bit worn and knackered but sure it will do a few laps |

That would be brilliant! I've had this car for about 25 years and I've been restoring it over the past few weeks. It's just crying out to be raced again

My first buggy was an Apache - nearly wore the chassis away under the gearbox! Front suspension got bolted to the front end of a donated Sand Rover/Holiday buggy, but then reassembled and sold to the trainee vicar running a model shop up on the balconies of the Piece Hall in Halifax. Apache wheels fitted the Meteor which was good as I seemed to have a lot of them. Seem to recall I might have had the Meteor at the same time as an original Optima - which replaced a shortened RC10.

I bought a meteor off a kid at school for about £10. That thing was like a tank apart from the gearbox which kept melting.
My first car was a Tamiya Hornet back in about 1986 or 87. I don't miss all the dodgy interference I remeber having. |
