Green Hobby do the Carson 1/5th. (similar to FG Marder) Attack, Comanche, etc. with either the Zenoah engine, or the Carson engine.
BoyzToyz used to do one, but I haven't heard anything for a long time. Might still be.
Otherwise it is as fragmented as hell.
There was a guy at the track selling Dynamic in Clontarf for couple of years. Then he switched to another make (dunno what) (Treacy-Starting Grid). May have dropped out, website seems offline.
Another guy at the track doing Technokit.
Some guys too from other tracks are pushing what they race (eg HARM, Serpent, Picco) - it's what they do cos they're enthusiastic about the make they drive and they want to spread out the cost of their hobby. Don't have a contact number tho.

Hope this helps.

Local is where I was looking at.
BoyzToyz

But I just now noticed the y took the prices off.. :rolleyes:
They didnt even realise they had them n their website until I rang them today

Now, They quoted me €450 for any of the models in stock
Dynamic or Harm.
just need servos and radio gear.

Now I wonder if Green hobbies can compare with those prices?
Must give them a ring tomorow.

zt-OctaviaN

Servos are big buggers on them arent they prolly allow €100 for one of them?

Well good luck keep us posted,

Especially if you get any videos of it when you get it...perhaps playing chicken on the main road or drag racing with a few local boy/girl racers!

Or pest control in your local neighbourhood :rolleyes:
