Re: Kyosho motors - early 90s

The Le Mans 240E was out of the electric Glider. The E stands for Economy with bronze bushings instead of the more expensive bearings. Around a 19t I say. All the Le mans and Spa motors were only machine wound arms compared to Reedy & trinity with hand wound arms. Kyosho cans were among the best...

Re: Ultima project started: with no particular direction in

Great thread.

What a score with all those Ultima parts. Did you get any body sets or cages in the lot?

Cheers

Re: RC10 Graphites in action at Boondall.!!!!

Well I just finished this video and really tried my best for these awesome machines.

I'm not a huge RC10 fan but have a really soft spot for the graphite and mine was bought of this forum. So here it is in action with my mates Graphite which is done in box art...

Re: Vintage Kyosho Ultima's in action at Boondall !!

Thanks guys & klavy69 for fixing my link up for youtube.

You are right Marc the other Ultima is a little nose heavy but i think it's running alloy front wheels.

Yep they are awesome too drive.

Cheers.

Vintage Kyosho Ultima's in action at Boondall !!

Just finished this video of a couple Ultima's that are regular runners at the Boondall track.

We love the first generation cage Ultima's and they go really well with better shocks & turbo towers.

First attempt doing a video with my Gopro 3 Black

Got a few friends together for a short video at Boondal with my new Gopro 3 Black.

Had help from my lovely wife with the editing on this, There is a few obvious mistakes but it turned out ok.

Re: My Turbo Optima

Nice score. As others said this example looks to have little use. I find it a bit odd that the motor is a Le Mans 240 can with a different end bell as it should be all red. My Turbo Optima I bought new never came with front universals. It was a option I think but It was a long time ago so I could be...

Re: Tamiya Fox re-re

The re re Fox is somewhat strange as Stella sold out of stock in 3 hrs. Rc Mart got a 2nd shipment in sold out in 2 weeks with a higher price tag of $145. Stella's price has been taken off which means a new price will be adjusted . I feel Tamiya pushed there existing stock out to get the jump on the...

Re: Toy grade/ Hobby Grade Mid Ship 4wd RTR from Ban Dai !

Yeah it looks to be of decent quality and the plastics seem have some flex so not brittle. I'm really not sure what I will do as I have had a offer from a Tamiya Club member for almost 4 times what I paid for it. :idea: I really like cars that are a little different that's why I wanted this model.

Battery is mounted long ways up the chassis. Twin diffs that is shaft driven by Mid Ship motor 4WD lay out . Suspension looks to be ...

Re: Tamiya Fox re-re

Thanks guys. Aaah a Stella kit I see too!! Kym you will love the build as it's a quality kit compared to the re re from the philippines . It's very quick with a 17t pinion. Better balanced with the steering servo re located further forward. Should be stronger too with new plastics and more webbing i...
