Gallop MKI

Post by morrisey0 »

I went to meet a guy this morning to pick up a 1/8 Veterra Glamis, and I noticed he had some other cars in his pics and I asked him if he had anything vintage that he was willing to sell. He said he would bring a couple more cars with him.

At the meet, he breaks out the Glamis, this Gallop MKI, and a box of four original Mini-Ts, and I end up picking up the whole lot for a hundo.

I know nothing about Kyosho stuff, and this thing is crazy! I haven't even quite figured out how to take the "body" off! :shock: It seems very complex, and over-engineered.

If anyone knows a source for parts other than the usual outlets, please let me know. So far I have determined I am missing the canopy (already found one), the wing, whatever held the battery in place, front bumper, and the front "base" is broken and missing the bumper mount. The last one there scares me!

Mostly its the same as a Kyosho Progress ,really only the cage is different , usually parts are easy enough to find , almost certain the front part that's broken is the same .Battery was just held in with re usable cable ties , looks like one is still there .
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

Thanks Dadio! That helps a bit with the search.

I think I have everything kinda on order except for the PG-2 Front Base Set. That one is still alluding me. I am sure one will pop up at some point.
