Nitro rc ID help - Ford Explorer Ranger Enthusiasts "Serious Explorations"®

Jestarr · 10-08-2009, 09:18 PM

Don't know if anyone is going to know it, but here goes.

Aluminum rail frame (about 1/4"x3/8")
red tube cage
nitro chain drive awd
barrel gas tank
single front shock (runs between tops of knuckles)
dual rear shocks
buggy style

I will try to upload pics tomorrow - my brother wants me to rebuild the thing so I am trying to figure out what I am starting with.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Neil

I started a thread on RCC. Someone over there should know something about it.
I almost want to say it's a scratch build, but we'll see I guess.

Here is the link to the thread over there so you can see any replies.

Yep, and someone posted saying the suspension looks like Tamiya Hotshot, mabey. Actually the front shock is different than the Hotshot.

I don't think it's a hotshot suspension. Thanks again for the help with figuring it out.
