Default 1985 Nikko ford escort turbo pursuit

I had this given to me. Surprisingly it still works. The only problem is that the front tires are dry rotted. Rears are still perfect. Does anyone know where I might get some new tires? Or if anyone has ever modded one? Here's some pics


As you can tell the fronts are pretty bad. What do you guys think. Worth anything?

Put it on eBay for $9 and let it ride. I'm guessing it sells for $35

Chop off the body and mount it to a nice rally chassis.

I would agree with this, but I'm pretty sure those are AA's in the battery box, so this body would be too small for any 1/10th chassis. Perhaps a modified 1/16 Traxxas model could be modified? Looks like its in good condition, would make a cool scale car.

Yes the lights rotate up when you go into turbo mode( just pushing the throttle to the max)and yes it's AAs. When you go into turbo mode it also has a police siren.

death rays require to much effort. a cat needs but a thought to destroy you. but it just does not feel like it.

That one's funny. Cat looks unhappy there.





Big speaker in the rear window. Seems a bit oversized...

That thing ain't worth shit in my opinion. Use the body, or drive over it with your real car.
