Hi All, found another option to share Just had the same original parts cleaned with Soda blasting, I guess with the rerelease i could just buy new but was keen to keep some originality. Came out looking almost polished, really happy with the result. tried lacquer clear coat but looked too shiny, nee...

Not today, but last week, Stumbled across these Kyosho Maxxum front arms, quite rare, look like Lazer zx, until you compare them side by side. Also had the chance to meet a fellow kyosho nut and nice guy to trade with, (thanks again Glenn) He also had a stash of Lazer ZX parts for one of my cars and...

My friend ran a Procat back in the day and it was so clean, with the radio running down the center spine and a saddle pack either side. If I remember it was standard Futaba s148 servo, MC 112B ES, And crystal 29Mhz receiver. As new radio is so small these days, and so are Lipo cells I'm playing arou...

Having a think about saddle pack batteries etc, and lipo equivalents. Seeing as it's not viable to get saddle pack LiPo any more i bought some Orion IB4200 World Champion V-MAX HV cels to make up.

Finally delved into some Fusion 360, complete newb at this, seems so tedious when i could just draw it up manually, but getting the cutting file will be worth it. Mine came with both the mini mustang and Maxima chassis, so been playing around with a composite of the two. Why not, its not like im sac...

Thanks again Dadio for the Printing.
Helping to rescue these old girls out of the attics and basements by sending parts across the planet.

Much Appreciated mate.

More baby Steps, Fitted the Undertray today, I decided im not going to paint the entire thing. Given how I drive I thought the Marshals would appreciate seeing the chassis as much as the top side. And that Carbon is so pretty Found the perfect fitting undertray at Penguin Bodyshells in the UK, they ...

Great work, looks awesome

Great looking set up, I'm liking the pepper pots personally, Pink is a great choice. Nice build

Lot of people here run the 1080 variant? seems a bit more robust. Ive been liking these ORCA 80A brushed esc, theres a V2 now also. Cost a bit more, but still very cheap compared Good on you for getting into it. Have fun.

Thanks Terry, I couldn't see that on the sales page, just said optional extras, ?
And I agree, velcro tape just seems cheap

Terry.sc and Frankentruck make valid points about the chassis, You cant even buy saddle pack LiPos any more, but velcro? really? seems very crude. Surely the engineers could come up with a better clamp, either low profile or normal square profile. The original chassis has allowances for the 6 and 7 ...

Must admit I'm a little underwhelmed, Other than the LWB Chassis, radio plate and belt/covers, its no different to my original RERE. I appreciate its not a clone, and its a representation, still they have parts in their catalogue they could of included. It doesn't have sway bars OTW135 No Ball diffe...

Stumbled across these Kyosho Maxxum FF front arms on FB. They are Rare, and he had 2 sets!!! Im trying to piece one together and after a few texts we caught up for an hour on the phone. Seller was a depth of knowledge about Early Kyosho, and put me straight on Lazers, ZXR's and assisted me with part...

been having a few problems with the Rear hub pivot pins, Only found one of the 4 required plastic "C" clips to hold the pin in the right place. With age and wear those pins were trying to slide out on their own, without anything better to use, and trying to source those clips was not easy....
