If painting clear lexan, use the Fascolor paints, they're water based too.
If painting a styrene hard body, use the Tamiya paints.

My kit is a 2014 Re-Re. What parts are you referring to?

Re: more vintage kyosho vintage hopups and mods - 4x4 scorpi

I tried to source some 12mm hex adapters from that one dude that made a limited run. He is our and won't be making more. I tried to just bolt up the aluminum wheels by friction, but this four pole motor laughed and laughed. Back to the drawing board....but this thing is damn fast on only a 2s Lipo. 8)

Re: more vintage kyosho vintage hopups and mods - 4x4 scorpi

Sorry, it's hard to tell how thick the CF is from the pics.
I would slot the hours myself, but the counter sunk Hines would make it difficult I think. I'm laying paint tomorrow, getting closer every day.

I'm curious to see how the carbon fiber pieces hold up to some abuse. Looks awesome.

Awesome build man, kudos. How did you mount the body by chance?
I love how you split the rear wheels, great idea.

Re: more vintage kyosho vintage hopups and mods - 4x4 scorpi

back in the day, they used to mount the stock tail lights up on top of the fenders when cut like this. I'll play around with it and see how it looks before I mount them. Yeah, clearance is decent. I could have sat the body down lower with body mods, but decided to keep it as is....looks ok IMO.
