Tamiya Astute.

[Nobby70]

I just found one I had round my mums house,it has mo motor or reciever in it at the moment,but I have a Yokomo Pro-stock 19 double turn motor which should be alright for it,and I have a reciever for aswell.
Does anyone know anything about these cars? If you do,I'd be glad to hear about it,as I might get it back on the road.
By the way I have no photo's at the moment as it is still at my mums,and should also say it is in fantastic condition.

The astute was issued late '89.

It looks like a nice buggy, reminds me a lot of the bandit. Im not to sure of collectablity on it though.. Parts are avalible and here is a pic, so everyone knows what your talking about!

That's it,great pic,but mine has a pink shell and yellow wheels,but I now know it's definately an Astute.

It's a bit dusty from years of storage,and has no motor in it as yet,don't know whether to keep it or sell it.<img src=http://www.nepthys.com/i/emoticons/set01/happy.gif ALT=":D">

Well I cleaned it up and sold it as it is with no motor or electrics and got £70($100)so I've got to be happy with that.<img src=http://www.nepthys.com/i/emoticons/set01/happy.gif ALT=":D">
