My Beagle also came with a Kyosho bumper.

Well I couldn't wait. I started taking it apart. I didn't get too far, it's late here but here are some pics... and questions

Looks Like this wheel was glued back together, and the hex was glued with it

So far all the gears look ok:

Now how does this work There is no pin, how does the hex turn the wheel and not slip on the axle?

So far the only non beagle parts Are these electronics and the Bumper in the first pic. All electronics were tested working before I took the car apart:

Well that's as far as I've gotten so far. Doesn't look like any screws are missing. I think almost all of it is there. I need: Front dog bones, Front out drives, chain, wheels, Rear a-arm & 3 bushings/bearings. I'm going to post progress as much as possible on this one as I go.

no doubt a heap rarer then an optima which is always appealing in my eyes unless its just cheap junk.
the hexes are tapered have a look at both sides, one hole looks smaller..great find for $10 bills.

The drive washers use friction alone from the wheel nut and should stay tight after the first tightening - make sure the tapers match.

If you can't find a Beagle manual, just find/use an online Optima manual as things are so close on most things that they are parallel, such as the drive washers etc.
