Looks awesome. With style like that, I bet you could produce some awesome concept cars.

Re: Preserve or have some fun?

Thanks! Much apreciated.
I plan to submit a video, based on this car, in Quarterscalelegends Video archive. The quality of videos in that section is pretty high. So time to swap phone video for some good video camera shots. Action clips and perhaps some part of the restore journey.

Re: Preserve or have some fun?

Many thanks for the good advice. I am new to this and want to get deeper into 1/4 scale. I will try out the bumpers first using cold cure urethane.

Re: Preserve or have some fun?

Enjoying it for sure. I will strengthen the body with some fiber glass. Would like one day to mould my own car body using PETG. Think I will mould the bumpers first and see how I get on.

Preserve or have some fun?

I got this 1/4 scale Yankee Suzuki Vitara and then realised it may be rare and need preserving, but I decided its time to have some fun and go off road. Absolutely love the model. It has very much got me into 1/4 scale. When I am not running it off-road I love tinkering and fixing it. The exhaust ke...

Re: New member with 1/3 scale

That is wicked. Add RC gear and a body shell and you are going to grab a lot of attention.

Yankee M15 engine knowledge anyone?

I am in need of any Yankee M15 engine knowledge you have. What fuel does it use? I picked this RC car up with no details of what is was. Sold as seen. Looking on this site I can see its a 1/4 scale Yankee Suzuki Vitara Concept 92 with an M15 engine but that's about the limit of my knowledge. Its bee...
