This is an extremely rare car, especially in this condition. This classic Kyosho Eleck Peanuts Dune Buggy is the first electric car that Kyosho Corp manufactured. Up until 1978 all their cars were off road nitro buggies and the Eleck Peanuts even used the same body from the Peanut 09 nitro buggy.
It has a tension rod front suspension and lateral rod rear suspension. It also features a unique step gear system so the gearing can be changed with one touch.
Notice that by 1978 Kyosho was molding their bodies in color, unlike the 09 nitro peanuts body that needed paint. We love the way they machined the exhaust tips and the detail in the wheels.
