I assume its taboo to vote for yourself haha. Sooo Hornet EVO gets mine! I'll do a thread on the quad when I finish my current build.

Beef her up! I gave the RPM piece a quick google "wasn't aware it existed", and its lines were close enough to the original for my tastes. Add your flair...and Robert's your mothers brother (bobs yer uncle)

How things sit at the moment mocked up. Hydradrive could use new seals as they were pancaked pretty bad so I'll hold off until I come across a rebuild kit in my price range. If anyone has suggestions for mounting the capacitor cleanly I'm all ears. 20180809_073103-800x450.jpg 20180809_073122-800x450...

I'll take mine in Purple Please

Kyosho Quad Rider EV "Electric Version" Modernized with a Kyosho LeMans Brushless 2000KV 17.5T motor, and 240S ESC. Running Futaba 2.4GHZ and a 2S LIPO 2000KV 35C battery. Bent new handlebars out of brass tubing to fix the old look at it wrong and they broke plastic ones :x Parts are very ...

LOL! I had not noticed Mr. O.C.D. happy face. He is no more. Last night I mounted up the ESC, and soldered everything neatly-ish into place. Unfortunately the Speed Control was jussst to0 chubby to fit in the channels paralleling the battery tray. Which would have been great keeping COG low, so up i...

Tonight's project rebuild hydradrive and mock up this bad boy.

Some progress, shes a roller! Transmission rebuilt utilizing a new case as the old one was over tightened at some point and cracked the mounting holes. Still useable though, and I've learned me lesson regarding NOT throwing away serviceable parts... the diff was fiddly but pretty strait forward and ...

That's all for now fellas. If you have any suggestions or insight on these trucks I'd appreciate it. I'll keep the updates flowing as the parts arrive! Im having a blast stripping this thing down and rebuilding it like the 6 million dollar man.. better faster stronger!

I must have sprayed this body just be for losing interest back in the day because it's never been on its lid. Wacky colors but... I like it! I'll probably snag a TGB factory body to use while displaying.

The rear shock tower took much fiddling as I had to dremmel off the head of one of the counter sunk screws which was stripped. I plan on cleaning up the look of the Hodge-podge body mount that was necessary to fit aftermarket bodies.

Picked up this gem for a song $35 NIB.. apparently they were de approved from ROAR for their windings being too thick.. the seller also had two sets of rear 2.2 tires which he bundled for an additional $30.

I used to dislike these trucks as a kid because the adjustability was far beyond my scope of knowledge. Now I'm looking forward to chasing a great set up.

Success! As you can see the dawn bath scrub brush treatment worked wonders. Much tedious/Fun stuff remains.. rebuild transmission, diff, hydradrive, install electronics and rip wheelies!

Testing to see if this works uploading...
