my custom and homemade Kyosho Raider
(In Spanish, here: http://reparar-cochesrc.blogspot.com/2019/01/fabricar-un-buggy-partir-de-piezas.html)
I had many spare parts from Kyosho Raider and I thought I could build a new buggy:
... I needed many essential parts (shocks, bearings, shafts, suspension and steering arms,..)
I started by checking and lubricating the transmission:
"homemade " Suspensions arms in aluminium
The shafts were obtained from a DVD-CD rom:
the chassis diagram:
Building the chassis with a polyethylene-aluminum composite sheet:
Building the front shock absorbers with aluminum tubes:
Building the steering arms with two long screws:
I have put ball bearings and a 380 motor to test the transmission:
Now, I start to assemble the parts of the transmission and sterring in the chassis:
Servo and steering are assembled and adjusted:
It starts to look like a car...
The first test with a 540 motor, receiver, ESC and battery:
Building a custom bumper. The curve is obtained with heat from a soldering iron
Bumpers and body supports are already in place:
Receiver and ESC has been mounted with Velcro:
The lexan body is obtained from a toy-grade car:
It's done !!!!
the bumper is behind the body
With its "brother", the original Kyosho Raider:

Re: my custom and homemade Kyosho Raider
I love it!
The Raider was the first kit I built all by myself out of box as a kid (My bro built our Hornet and World Engines Rock Buster).
I still have a love/hate relationship with the Raider to this day.
