DELTA EAGLE 1/8

The 1st  Independent suspension 1/8  RC racing car !

That's your collection ? Must let us see more close-up details.!!!

Not sure which one come first as  I recall seeing PB's red car with suspension first.

What year it come out ? You keep it in very good condition.

又一經典 !

The first generation of "EAGLE" was made in 1982.

The photo I just post is 2nd generation  called "Super Eagle". I think it is made around in 1984.
This "Super EAGLE" belong to my friend. Not mine !

"PB" is just a follower, not the inventor of Indpendend suspension RC car !


This DELTA ESC is my collection !

Enjoy !

I recall seeing a PB in one of the un-official race before I left HK for study.
That was a PB alpha and that was year 1981. There were a couple of
suspension car announced at the year 79-80.

I  was only a teenager by that time, both Delta and PB was 'big name'
at those time.

I still recall those very destinctive DELTA heatsink (probably have one
lying around at my old house).

Seems Delta that you have is more solid as it's using metal arms,
the PB Alpha, on the other hand, use plastic arms and torsion springs
and was very bouncy when run. (Probably it was using solid rubber tires).

Those solid rubber time, btw, feel much like the drift tries nowadays...

Delta was using sponge tires all alone.

For a photo of PB Alpha, can see it here http://www.rccars.stuandcathy.com/html/alpha_is_4.html

I never seen PB raced in HK in 80's.  I think, PB was a very innovative company at that time.
I remeber , DELTA & Associated was popular in the early 80's.

Here is the ad. I still keep

Hi brother, see this picture ! What do you find ?
this heavy duty linkage I used in my GP 1/10 today is brought 20 year ago for my 1/8 GP buggy steering rod.    just see this linkage is used in that Delta Eagle . I had visited Hobby world in new world center at that time.

我諗能在70,80年代玩車的,一定非富則貴
