    Very sweet nikko there Andy! Runs really super well! Easily handles the grass! The rain, might be a different outcome!💦😃
    Thanks for sharing bud!👍🏻🤙🏽

      Thank you very much , definitely pleased with how it drives especially since I’d not tested it before the video apart from bench testing it. Was ok on the grass just maybe shouldn’t have put the silicone on the tyres before hand ;) my pleasure and thanks for checking the video out , take care :)

    Got my Dandy Dash today. Swapped the old electronics out for some new stuff (2,4Ghz, 550 Motor from WL Toys 144001, 2s Lipo, Reely S0090 Servo). I am super STOKED and had a serious BLAST from the PAST 😁😁😁 This Buggy smells like the 80´s, looks way better in the flesh than on camera or photo, runs super smooth, has almost no scratches on the underside, tires and rims are like new and it has a white body shell (which is my favorite color). I also have the 1/32 Dandy Dash from Nikko in yellow sitting beside its big brother ;_) I have super old childhood memories concerning the 1/32 Dandy Dash, that I saw at Toys ´R Us once....That memory haunted me for almost 4 decades 😅 Now the cycle is COMPLETED.

      Hi Alex, yeah it’s not one you come across loads but they are court here , I came across 2 close together oddly. The super sprint and brat are a-lot harder to come by

    Had the super sprint version a number of years ago - very high spec - alloy dampers, ball raced, torque splitter etc - wish I’d kept it - parts were astonishingly hard to find back when I had mine - they are a little easier to find these days mind

    Very cool to see it out there ripping around and it runs really well and sounds great! Lol seeing it and it looks fantastic! I do like it in the red as well, it looks really sharp and work well with the larger body!

    • @andyrobinsonrc2480
      @andyrobinsonrc2480  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks Addam, very pleased with how it ran especially since I’d never run before that video. Glad you like the Red I thought it was a good choice in the end , was a little worried it clashed with the mounts but I think I got away with it. Thanks mate take care

  • @olivierchardonnet2997

    Super nice to see it running. I got my self a couple of those, One from my parents' attic (it sees a lot of road, trees, falling...)
    and other one from a garage sell perfect condition execpt ceramic resistor is broken, But all other part as good as new
    Can I ask you, what kind of motor you put on this one? receiver, speed control? did you change directional servo too ? I try to upgrade the worn out dandy dash and have fun with my kid.
    The car is allready running to I use very old electronic variator form Futaba... about 20 years old. Fine but no Kick speed.
    Thanks and very nice videos

    • @andyrobinsonrc2480
      @andyrobinsonrc2480  Рік тому

      Hello sorry I never replied originally. Sounds like you’ve got a few nice examples olivier. When I was getting this Dash ready to run again i put in a Tamiya sports tuned motor and a hobbywing 1060 electric speed control, the steering servo was the same that came with it when I bought it.
      Cheers for watching much appreciated :)

    Is it branded as a Nikko anywhere on the car ?

    • @andyrobinsonrc2480
      @andyrobinsonrc2480  4 місяці тому

      I can’t honestly remember , but it certainly came in a Nikko box and the manual and new decals had Nikko on them.
