What is this 1/8 chassis?
 
5 Attachment(s)
I believe this is a 1/8 mugen chassis I got in a lot of 3 cars I bought, I would like to rebuild it. Does anyone know what it is?

A better photo would help, but it is not a Mugen. It looks like an Ishima or something european as Mugen never laid there shocks down that har to my knowledge.

sorry, had to. :D

yes, It does look like the pirate, it has the same front curve gaurd. I am not sure why it has MUGEN across the bottom but anyone could engrave this with cnc these days I guess??? first day up, we will see , someone here has to know!
Also, I have never seen another 1/8 with the spur joined to the rear diff and the drive shaft go all the way to the front with no center diff so to speak

I'm not sure since I didn't race offroad back then but I think Mugen had a car like that WAY back in the day. I'm talking early 90's here.

It is a Mugen Sport Buggy from early 90s.

certainly looks like it!
I cant find any close up pics of the mugen super sport buggy chassis to completely verify but this looks like it.
The chassis I have has all the running gear in mint condition! I am not sure how a race buggy has no scratches on either bump gaurd or the bottom of the chassis? No dirt on anything, no scraped screw heads or anything??
Maybe someones back up/ parts car back in the day
I was going to macgyver something together to make it a basher but now Im not so sure what to do with it.

anyone a MUGEN collector?
