Marui Ninja Restoration
(project #11 - 2024)
What’s the story of this car?
• I found the car in England in october 2022 and decided to restore it to my standards, along with modern electronics for a new brushed motor.
• The project lasted about 4 months, cleaning every part or replacing them (if too damaged).
• I decided to give it a “midnight look”, while keeping the original feel of the Ninja.
This car is fully adjusted and Ready To Run (RTR):
• Bind it with any Spektrum DXs transmitter (not included).
• Refer to the included Spektrum receiver manual for instructions.
It was tested OK after restoration and never used since!
