Vintage Radio Controlled Radio Shack Red Arrow Buggy

The 1/10 scale Vintage Radio Shack Red Arrow Buggy was released in the late 80's / early 90's around the same time the Golden Arrow Buggy was released. It come fully assembled and included a receiver, charger, and 7.2 volt battery. Back then the entire kit could be purchased at Radio Shack new for around $69.00. I owned two of these Radio Controlled buggies and they were also very speedy, rugged, and durable. The Red Arrow's were very similar to the Golden Arrow's except they were red and had some slight modifications to the body and electronic components. They were also a little lighter than the Golden Arrow. I don't remember all the exact specifications for the Radio Controlled Radio Shack Red Arrow, and it's nearly impossible to find one these days. But I a, pretty sure the buggy had a 540 type motor because it was just as fast, if not faster than the Golden Arrow because it was lighter. I remember the wheels also being interchangeable with the Golden Arrow. The Red Arrow without any modifications had a top speed of around 18-20 mph.

I don't think many of these Red Arrow RC cars were manufactured. I sold mine about 10 years ago for around $100 dollars each. I have searched ebay and craiglists up and down looking for one of these RC Buggies to no avail. I can't even find a picture anywhere of these either. I wished now I would of took some photos of my vintage Radio Shack Red Arrow Radio Controlled Buggy. I think this buggy was designed to compete with the Nikko Thunderbolt (the little brother or cheaper version of the Nikko Rhino). If you know were I can find one of these Red Arrow RC buggies or if you have a Raid Shack Red Arrow for sale please leave a comment. I would like to purchase it for my boys and I. I was able to find a video of the Radio Shack Red Arrow Buggy.
