More Progress. The postman brought me some goodies today. Thanks to GoMachV :D DSC_3314.JPG Had to make a fitment check right away. The amount of front travel is insane. Adding the stadium truck wheels will make for a lot of ground clearance. I'm curious to see if the dog bones will actually play al...

Body work is almost finished. Vinyl sheets arrived and I made an attempt to somewhat recreate the original decals. Colors are hard to match of course but I got pretty close. Taking pictures of these vinyls is almost impossible. Colors are brutal. DSC_3280.JPG DSC_3292.JPG There are some wrinkles on ...

Nice kit you have there.
I have the Stadium Baja version. Appears to be identical apart from the body.
Can you recommend any modern tires? I want to run it at some point but keep the kit tires mint. They appear to be 2.2", correct?

I've always wanted a better example of one of these than the one I have. They're underappreciated I feel. Well, compared to an Ultima they are a wobbly mess. But still fun to drive. My plan is to have two ready in summer and "race" with friends. The third one will likely be canibalized fo...

A little progress today. Removed all but one sticker from the body. After cleaning and masking I layed down two layers of gold and three Tamiya Camel yellow. Turned out a little too golden for my taste, but it was an experiment anyway. Undecided if I should add another white or silver before finishi...

Hi everyone, this shall be a build thread of a little restoration/upgrading project. Starting point are three Outrages (Baja Stadium, ARR, and RTR) which I intend to make into two and run them as well. The RTR being in my posession for well over 25 years. 20 if which in my parents basement but that'...

I actually found the long tower on the website. Not sure about the geometry though... I'll shoot them a message. Thanks for this! I alos made progress on the shocks. It appears that the top caps were the culprits. Their inner height varies by a lot. Looks like the intended height is 10 mm. The leaky...

Okay, the Tamiya O rings appear to be working nicely. However, one of the shocks is leaking from the top cap. Shock_leak.jpg Sanding the top of the main body in a circular motion worked for one shock. For some reason it wont work for the last one. Maybe the seal is bad. Any ideas? As for the shock t...

Great, that worked. Thank you!

Hi, as the topic states, I am looking for the Stadium Baja Beetle manual. Kit #30771.
Does anybody have a copy?

Thanks a lot!

Hi there, I recently bought a Stadium Baja Beetle which seems to be an Outrage St. It was probably run just once or twice. Servo saver is broken, the resistor is completely shot and the shocks leaked most of their oil. Appart from that it is in great condition. Took it apart, cleaned off all the sho...

Hi there, super glad I found this forum. Lots of very valuable info here. I recently rediscovered my old Kyosho Outrage that I got for Christmas 1997. It sat in my parrent's basement for ~20 years. A sudden rush of nostalgia made me buy two additional Outrages (one Stadium Baja) for 100€ each. I wan...
