Memory of a 2 speed 1980's electric buggy ,help.

[Dadio]

I hope someone can help me ,I have this memory of an electric buggy from the 1980's that had a 2 speed gearbox operated by a centrifugal clutch but for the life of me I cannot remember who made it or what it was called.please put me out of my misery as its been bugging me for months ,I keep returning to the Hirobo zerda in my mind but I'm probably wrong .

pretty sure it was PB Mini Mustang.came as 2 speed option or fixed single spur gear.got rid of 2 speed as you couldnt use reverse.

The PB Mini Mustang had one

I'm sure it was a 1/10th off road buggy I'm thinking off ,I was never into road cars .

[mrspeedy]

The PB Mini Mustang was a 10th off road buggy .. and had the option of using a 2 speed gearbox ..

As did the PB Maxima ...

AYK Maverick also came with 2 speed iirc.

[Dadio]

Sorry guys you might be right ,when you said mustang I just imagined an american muscle car ,I knew it was an off beat make and I could remember reading about it in Radio Race car (probably) and it being 4WD also feels right .
Thanks my mind can rest ,well maybe .

the pb 2 speed box was great, worked fantastically in a cougar used on road with foams and a sierra cossie body, was quicker than the pro10's down the straight at ashby. i still have a cougar box built up with the pb 2 speed and mip rc10 chain drive kit inside it. also fitted experimently to cat xls, pro10 car (silly....) and an optima mid. mini mustang 2 wheel drive worked really well with two speed, slowing down was only problem, you had to throw it at the corner to scrub off some speed, if you can call it speed anymore compared to the missiles we drive now!

You don't see these on modern buggys ,I take it they would be against racing rules.

[gomachv]

Against the rules, no brakes and no reverse so not really in demand. The electric trucks use them, like the TMaxx
