Hi,

I recently obtained this car in a trade. It's a 1/5 scale and has a 23cc zenoah engine with walbro carburator. Can anyone tell me what this is and how much its worth? Thanks!

doesn't look like any fg ive ever seen. it has a complete upper deck and a vertical mounted motor. i have seen this car before, but i cant remember the brand. iirc it was something made in hong kong and from factory they had some no-name 30.5cc in it.
 
I believe what that is, is a SVM Chronos MKII (maybe a I)

chain drive diff?
the red chassis is whats really giving it away, and the overall design.

never owned/seen on in person. seen a few vids. seemed to be a very nice car for the time (not all that old, maybe ealry 2000s) but is now discontinued. but parts are around.

this appears to be from arloracing from austrialia, but the website is gone. somewhere in the early 2000 to 2004 area seems to be when the company was valid.

GL. hear these were nice rigs for the time. seems the cost was fairly good for the quality of the kit so it seems.

T's right thats a SVM. There were a crap load of 5's and 6's unloaded on ebay some time back. They are not produced anymore from what I remember. There are parts on ebay now and again. Mostly from people with half constructed undone projects. They were an upgraded nice looking on road just support and sales did not make it.
 
So I actually found an SVM logo on the bottom of the battery compartment.... Geat place to show off your company! Also, on the rear body mount it says Columbia. On the chassis it says Concept in a couple of places. Now that I know that I have an SVM Columbia, can anyone tell me more about it. Are there parts available? Is it rare? How much is it worth? It has a 23CC Zenoah engine and walbro carb. Thanks

They were fetching 300-500 on ebay in a box needing to be put together. Not bad since the zen motor pipe and parts are worth it. Jsut no support from what I understand is left.:(
 
No parts??? I was lucky enough that the guy I bought these from had a third car in parts that he gave me at the same time...If you drive them in a large enough parking lot that you won't hit anything (sidewalks) they don't really break...
