MRC Santana 4WD

[Lowry]

Hi,

over the last weeks I restored a MRC Santana buggy. Originally it was a 2WD but I changed it to 4WD and full ball bearings.

This car is pretty similar to the Optima Mid (belt drive, C-Hub front suspension, mid-motor).
The main difference is that it uses a 2-step gear transmission to forward power from the motor to the rear diff (all fine-mesh gears). Therefore the rear diff is pretty big in size).

I also have quite some spare like a full set of wishbones, additional front diff and front housing etc.

If anybody is interested just pm me.

Cheers

Ralf

P.S. Sorry for posting this here but I think the car would get lost between all those brushless, lipo and 2.4 ghz stuff

Hi,
Very good restoration.
It's a Santana Junior version from 90's.

I have a Santana 4x4 competition

The difference between Junior and Competition versions are :
- Shock body in metal (vs plastic)
- Top deck,
- Anti roll bar front and rear
- Body and undertray,
- Rear and Front Drive shaft
