Appealing wheeler ... Quite a mini 1:8 buggy in fact ! Note the very (too) powerful engine ... Also available from Graupner and Ofna

1:8 Monster Trucks

These next nitro kits idealy require more powerful motors such as 16-20 cells Brushless or brushed Neodym powerhouses. Note a Speed700 still can make them run easily but in a more realistic way ...
