Default ACTIVE HOBBY - MINIFAN 4WD MINI

This...is an Active Hobby 4WD 'Minifan' Mini. This is the car they made before the high-dollar A210.
I used this car maybe a dozen times at indoor oval racing on a polished wooden floor, so it hasn't exactly had a whole lot of use. Apart from maybe benefiting from a bearing flush and clean it is in excellent condition.



These things are made the 'old school' way and are quite tough. But in the event that you break something, the parts are still manufactured and are readily available.



It comes as you see here, no electronics, but still with the original Nissan March bodyshell in excellent condition. The original Active Shocks lasted about 5 minutes as they could never be described as 'oil filled' - more like 'oil repellent' So I put a set of Tamiya 'Gold' shocks on instead.

This would be a perfect car for a cheap way into the 4WD class at Mini 50, or just for something cool to play around with.
I've got about 12 other 4WD Minis, so I don't really need this one as well...
I have a photocopy of the original manual etc to include as well.

Throw $120 at me and it's yours....
