This is an hybrid 4WD buggy! I purchased it in a hobby shop in 1997 !This car was a "Prafa" and looked like a rally formula with Lancia delta body and a purple anodized aluminim chassis! It was nearer a 1/8 engine car than a 1/10 electric one...So I decided to rebuild and re-designed the entire chassis to fit my Monster beetle body( purchased in 1990 and mounted sometimes on my Frog...).In these years my tools were poor so I built it with saw, files and drill ! So I replaced the old aluminium with a FRP one (lighter than it)!

The new chassis was shorter than previous so I had also to replace the dogbones with shorter ones!I had some Avante's ones so I used them!After these I added some Tamiya spares and hop-up...so it became an Hybrid! I remember when 4 years ago I went to Isola d'Elba with some friends of mine:I run my Hybrid scorcher on the sand near the seashore...a friend of mine had two children(Twins!)and they loved my bug !They wanted to drive it ...so I said:"Ok guys ,but stay away from the waves! Mind them!".So I gave my radio to the twins and suddenly they drove my poor buggy against the first wave they met!!! AAAHHH!!! Little demons!...They killed it...my poor bug laid drowned  on the sand!!! When I came back to Milan I had to restore it!!!

Now this Hybrid scorcher mounts a powerful LRP V10 motor and a Hi-tech ESC !
