in 1978 to 83, Rougha rider and sand scorcher were very popular in HK. Almost everyone had one.

Brother tiger1, you seen also make a lot mod and hop up wor?

Modification is the true spirit of RC. Old cars need even more surgeries

Also North point 'hang nin hong' got a lot of RCH and CRP modification parts, very expensive lah.

Wow, HK$300 for 4 front arms!! Almost as expensive as you get it now on ebay
HK$300 can buy 30 lunch back in the early 80s....  no wonder I left the hobby since then and only got back after I started working.

Anyone had try a Parma Ferrari motor before? Was it any good?

I would love to get a Ferrari motor......

If re-release rough rider not in original form then we can always get a body replica from Kamtec and put it on a news 2wd (or even 4wd) buggy. Why wait for tamiya?

One important point: the Rough rider series was interesting also because of it's long history and availability of option parts from so many companies. Nowadays, seldom do you see 3rd party make a differential from scratch for any cars.....
