While the truck sits idle

[no moa]

While my truck is on hold (saving up for the big money items, brakes, fuel tank, parts for the wrecker i really need) I been tinkering with my other hobby, i have more than one, more like 20 but thats another story.

I used to have 10 of these in various forms, trucks, cars, buggys, after i got divorced i was forced to sell of most them, but i kept a select few.

They are Bergonzoni's. Made in Italy, these are mid 90's cars. The buggy is 1990, and the Braves (the name of the car) are 95-96 vintage. Bergonzoni had been around a while over across the pond, but you don't see many in the US.They were bought out by Dynamic racing, they built a cheaper version, its a nice car, but the original is better. Bergonzoni is now back up and running and building their own cars again. There were a bunch of dealers in the 90s in FLA, CA and Canada as i understand it. I bought my first one (the blue chassis) in 99, it had a beat up honda body, and i rebuilt it, parts where not to hard to find. Its a blast to drive, 1/5 scale, 35 pounds, 23cc Boss reed plate motor, 4hp, gear drive 4 wheel disc brakes.

Problam is now, parts are really hard to find. I bought the buggy 3 years ago of ebay cause i'd only seen 2, it was trashed, frame was bent, engine mount stripped, carb broken. It came with a bag of new parts, so it was worth the amount i paid. But i have been 2.5 years trying to find parts. I emailed Bergonzoni in Italy, but they dont' have the parts i need (gas tank, radio tray) so i have disassembled the buggy, gonna straighten the frame, build a motor mount, and try to find a exhaust pipe.
Thanks for lookin!
