After sifting through my dads attic I discovered and too my surprise one of my 1/8th scale nitro buggies from the early nineties.

Not sure what it is but the make is MANTUA. Any ideas what it is? its got to be close to 20 years old.

Is it worth anything as I am going to put it up on ebay with no reserve as I have no need for it.

Here is a few pics...

Looks like a Mantua Devil 4x4 converted to 2WD. The motor is an OPS .21 which was one of the fastest around at that time, i would date it about mid eighties, but i may be wrong.
