I wonder for how much will it go... I wish I had money to burn, damn!!!!!!

OooH, going to be expensive. The number one on any collectors want list, but only the rich few that can afford it. Will be watching this out of interest, it's going to be way more than I could ever bid. I wonder if Typischdesign has one yet.

The Jealousy has been induced in me...

I don't really get it? I realise that the Hirobo Jealousy is a very rare beast indeed... but until I got into the vintage R/C scene I never knew it ever existed, yet i've been racing since the late 80s

What makes this model so special.... does it have a racing pedigree? Please educate me

The Jealousy was Hirobos last hurrah before leaving buggies and concentrating on their helicopters. All aluminium suspension, alloy ball diffs and a great looker. Hirobo went all out with the design, and it contained all the latest technology for the time. With the limited production and large number of machined parts it cost twice as much as the opposition at the time, the Turbo optima and Avante.

You won't have known about it as there was only 300 kits made, and only 68 of them ended up outside Asia. Most at the time bought to race, so the number of Jealousys that haven't been run is even smaller. That's what helps make it even more special.

I got offered $4000.00 yep love testing the waters bormac your such a Tool, always living in the past I sincerly pity you. we all love laughing about you in Australia. No one likes you and you wonder why.

Bormac has wronged many people by opening his huge mouth month after month and is the biggest to faced using fag I've come across. you preach to be a saint but your far from it yourself and you know it. Lots of stories circulated about you and annoying ways in regards to the vintage scene in Australia, you never shut your mouth and think your a know it all lol. He'll you can't even drive lol. us boondal guys make fun of you all the time. your a poor little boy ballsack!!!

Gary you are a weasel and everyone the world over knows it. You're a cheat, a scammer and a fool if you think people are with you. Once you remove your tongue from the nether regions of those that you puppet I think you'll find that support will diminish. I don't fear you nor anyone that wants to back you. You're a snake, always have been and always will be.
As for me, well keep on dreaming mate. An evil mind congers up evil thoughts. How befitting.

I'm glad I got to work you out years ago.

My favourite pick of you Skellator. Good times man, good times.

bloody hell, vintage section is getting sporty, best find up some 1980s boxing gloves for when these two meet up

If I'm not mistaken there looks to be a dirt track in the back ground of that pic...looks great. Sure wish we had more of those (and good weather).
