Help Identifying two RC cars

[Lord Pikey]

Sorry for another help post in as many minutes.

Can anyone identify these two rc cars. Id say the Nitro is 1/8th scale and the electric is 1/10.

The ntrolooks very similar to my old Mantua Extreme ?

Especially the front bumper and double steering servos.

The electric offering is a Mardave Meteor.

With what looks to be a grp chassis plate and white arms it could be the coveted long wheelbase version, but that would need clarifying by someone more "in the know". It certainly isn't standard by any means (? kyosho shocks) so may be worth something to a vintage racer if cleaned up a bit.

Definitely Kyosho Option House Shocks. I stuck them on my Marui Ninja back in the day.

OK so I think it's not the Extreme but the Mitika;

brilliant, thanks everyone.

Now to see if they are worth listing on ebay in Germany. I might have to wait until i fly back to the uk to flog them.

I hope to manage to sell off all this old stuff and raise enough cash to buy a simple tamiya model for me and my 4 year old to build.

They would only really sell to a collector if they are a wanted model. RC buggies are ten a penny on Gumtree and eBay.
