Great buggy. I have a Radio Shack Red Arrow aka Radcon/Digitcon Wild Fox which is to all intents and purposes a blatant copy lol. I always liked the wheels on the original, the design of them is a nice little touch.
I have this same car that has been sitting in my parents attic for 35 years. It needs tires and the electronics replaced. Where can I get the parts for it? I'd love to restore it
Francisco Barbosa Hey bud the method I always do in ebay is type what I want and go for alert option it may take time before an item comes up but believe me it will it just takes patience and persistence. You may wanna go on other rc sites Tamiya clubs or rc universe and add want on those forums. Rc members are always eager to help out. good luck. 😊
I believe you could but it’s hot glued in. Probably better to just replace the radio if it starts to give you problems and all new radio is 20 bucks crystals are about 10 dollars and there’s the chance you could mess up the board. On the bright side you’ll get longer distance and reception will be better with a new radio. I did a review on some on my channel check it out. 👍
My very first rc car! Got it for Christmas when I was 14 in ‘84. Thing was way tougher than it looked.
@@mikecampbell1831 Great times in the 80’s. Thanks for watching.
Very unique car, ive never seen one before. Turned out great 👍
Hi Joe, these are rare buggies for sure I didn’t know these until 7-8 years ago myself. Thanks 😊
Wow I had this as a kid been looking forever for 1

FATDEEMAN I luv the red Arrow or red pepper crazy rare. Quite nice looking buggy Thanks for watching good sir.
I got mine as a kid in the middle east and it was called Land Dash.
Thanks for sharing ✌️
ive got one of these in my collection too. its in such good shape i cant bring myself to upgrading it eventhough the stock electronics are terrible
It’s so much fun to have a good running one. Cheers
Who else had the rc car book from the scholastic book fair, and this car was on the cover. I never knew what it was until now.
I never knew of that book. I gotta look into that now. Thanks 😊
@@LukesVintageRC it was called radio controlled racing and came out In 1988
Nice. Can you guide me from where I can get a body that fits? Thanks
Hi Gilbert, these are very rare buggies and parts are even harder. eBay is my guess. Thanks

No parts made anymore friend. I’d probably try eBay. 👍
This was my first RC and there is also another model name Missiler.
Ishtiaq Ahmed yeah great looking buggy to be honest. The missiler is the first mentioned as that is my favorite name of these. Thanks bud👍
Remind me when I own it for the first time in 1989 I was 10 years old.
Theshadowcar these are quite collected now. Fun buggy especially with a few upgrades. Nice to see these pop up.👍
Hey friend very good job. But how could i find a replacement body kit for my chassis?

Thanks for watching. Good luck with your build.👍
justo compre uno muy similar a este pero de la marca digitcom, solo que no e encontrado información alguna de mi modelo
Its design is very similar to my Radio Shack red arrow.
BRS RC very much so I’ll be doing a restoration on a red arrow soon too. Thanks for sharing
Hi, could you tell me if maximus estrela has interchangeable quartz?
I believe you could but it’s hot glued in. Probably better to just replace the radio if it starts to give you problems and all new radio is 20 bucks crystals are about 10 dollars and there’s the chance you could mess up the board.

@@LukesVintageRC thank's
@@LukesVintageRC a curiosity, but on a technical and aesthetic level what changes between the Land Dash and the maximus Estrela?
