I picked the best 4 tyres I’ve got, gave them a soak of silicone spray for a week, and fitted them onto the rims, minus the internal locking rings, as they put too much pressure on them and they just tear (I destroyed 2 tyres trying this :evil: ) https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7820/47057324442_0995b...

I think I ordered a repro body for the Turbo at the same time as I ordered the Optima one from MarwanRC. If not at the time, sometime soon after, as it’s been in the parts cupboard for a long time. Now having these 2 chassis complete sitting on the shelf motivated me to get the bodies completed http...

Kyosho Optima Original, Option House Gold Shocks, LeMans 240ST, Body is paint not re-re decals

Thought I’d do a quick stocktake of my LeMans Motors: 1 x 240SB NIB 1 x 240T NIB 2 x 240ST 1 in Optima, 1 in Turbo Mid SE 1 x 360ST in Turbo Optima And I thought I’d have a look at the Pegasus that I have had for years awaiting a tidy up and too my surprise https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7814/324011...

The 2 smaller ones could be scrapers that attach to the rear hubs to stop mud buildup inside the rear wheels?

Rear shocks re-rebuilt, this time with the fuel tubing travel limiters, and the body painted and stickered , now to work on spot lights and driver figure, I’m using a polycarbonate driver https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/47641802581_f81f0b461b_k.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/32699322477...

Next release from Kyosho

Great looking buggy, more than 2 of us interested without doubt

Had this given to me a few years ago, so decided it was time to give it some life, by restoring/rebuilding it. It’s what some would refer to as a Mk 1, but Tamiya never really had a specific change in their kits, rather they just made rolling changes. I can highlight the tell tales parts that say th...

I got to cleaning and started reassembly. The front cross members needed to be re manufactured as the originals were engraved with the originals owners name, address and phone number :roll: . The rear gearcase and mechanism box both had plenty of silicone sealer to “waterproof” it, which took a bit ...

Enjoying your work here

Been a while since updates, but I finally got some body work done https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49140401473_0e16aa75f8_k.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49140894246_4857afaa57_k.jpg Going for a real old school Baja look with this one. Just waiting on some number stickers from MCI so as...

Finally got the number stickers. These are off 2 separate sheets and are exactly the same size. I just learnt that for correct font sizes, the curved numbers need to be slightly larger to “correct” the optical illusion. I chose 79 as that is the year this kit was released, so just seemed right. As f...
