It's a cool buggy! It's one of the last Descendants of the Nikko Dictator family, so despite the OTT looks, the underlaying chassis is pretty decent and pretty much made to the same standards as a late 80s entry level hobby grade. They dumbed them down a little over the years, but it still remained a surprisingly sophisticated chassis hidden away underneath the larger than life styling. There were a few distinct "gens", if you will, of the dictator chassis. The older ones had 380 motors such as Dictator 1 and 2, Radio Shack Black Phantom among others. Then they switched to a version with 390 motors and bigger wheels and bodies (Nikko Super Dictator and Nutty Hawk, Radio Shack Tempest and Road Phantom being some examples) The Nitro Burner was one of the last gen (along with Nikko Big Dictator and Iron Eagle) with even bigger wheels and a redesigned gearbox with a shock absorber built into the spur gear. Shame they didn't go to 540 motors but it's a still a cool old school rc! On the big dictator, there are limiters inside the rear shocks that didn't really seem necessary and allowed some extra travel. Might find the same thing with the Nitro Burner. The servo is basically the same shape as a hobby one but with no "ears" very easy to make a hobby servo fit if you trim the ears a little. They convert to hobby electronics quite nicely.

Looks like radio shack was trying to make hobby grade RCs 🔵🔵🔵🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍🔵🔵🔵

Wow thats wild looking buggy i love it 👍

I was number 8 to like this video 💯🙉🙈🙊💪👀 and number 4 to comment 💯 this is a great looking RC car

Nice find, I love the Flea Market.. Hoping a fishing boat we saw last time will be there... I miss Radio shack good old days. It was like going into a special place every time we went..

Nice piece there Brent, it scoots pretty well on a 2s!👍😊

That's large for this type of buggy. I have to say impressive for a toy grade RC, a kid would have not been disappointed with it.

That thing runs good did well on the track minus turning radius of course..

That's a cool looking racer. Great find. =)

That is a giganomous RadioShack buggy! I don't remember any being that big but it looks really cool and glad it all work! it was doing pretty well out there!!

Wow, that is the biggest Radio Shack RC I've ever seen! Runs pretty well too 👍🏻 I had a Red Arrow buggy back in the late 80s that was a ton of fun and darn near indestructible. Closest thing I had to a hobby grade RC back then. Nice video Brent!

In the 90s l was into CB radio. It transmits on 27mhz. There are 40 channels with 5 extra channels that you can't access on stock radios. Those channels are what the RC cars were using. I had a modified radio with those channels unlocked. The kid across the street had a RC car and would be out in his yard running it. I would get on the frequency his car was on and everytime l keyed the mic. his RC went crazy. He was jumping around like a monkey trying to get his controller to work.

I used to have a RadioShack Vexxor. Looks similar to this except not 4wd

Very cool!

looks interesting

35 is a steal So radio shack made 6 different style buggies with the same chassis i currently have 3 of them
