Ascona 400 RC Car
Ascona 400 RC Car
I
was only saying the other day in the Manta
RC Car news about how I had my old Tamiya Rough Rider RC car
in the loft. I was looking for a replacement body for it and stumbled
across a Tamiya Opel Ascona 400 Rally body. Never knew they did
one.
If
the Tamiya Rough Rider is anything to go by then this Ascona 400
Rally will be a similar electric motor powered car, though the Rough
Rider 'sand rail' shared its chassis with the Sand Scorcher 'Baja
Bug' both being very capable Baja racers with fat rear sand tyres
and heavy duty suspension.
So on further investigation this Ascona has Tamiya model number
58037 and was released in November 1983, sharing the chassis with
the Tamiya Audi Quattro #58036. There's more info, pictures and
parts over at Tamiyaclub.com.
Thanks to Big Few for the Ascona 400 photo here ;)
