ahh, i remember the frog changed it allit was mostly plastic so didn't appear good quality but in fact it was much more robust and lasted far far better. It spelt out the demise of the rough rider, the baja buggy and the Super Champ which I had. It was near the top of the range for its time but it was actually terribly flawed because all those brittle metal wishbones kepy craking into pieces at the slightest provocation.

amazing memories
we used to go to the stock car racing in wimbledon dogs track every christmas so this toy was a real hit with me and my brother
thanks for that
my Strika defo had a back pedal brake
my fave game on teh Amiga was 'Wizball'
DID ANYONE HAVE A MARDAVE STOCK CAR ?
it was like the westfield of the RC world
much harder to build than a Tamiya but very popular
i spent all Xmas building mind then new years drove it under a passing car and the Futaba Ripmax receiver was split in two !
