Re: Kyosho Le Mans 600 ???

Hey Buddy,

Looks like a 550 can type, longer than the 540 standard.

And seems like the motor is a Kyosho Le Mans 360 ST.

I belive the Fibre-Lyte chassis is for the original mid, does anyone know if the ReRe gearboxes have the same hole pattern as the original where they get bolted to the chassis?

Many thanks
Yes, the rere and the original have the same hole pattern on the chassis.

Re: Turbo Optima mid SE

Hey Chuck,

What an awesome thread you got there, congratulations on a super detailed build!

I have build many Mids and Optimas, but never to that level! Then again, I have never tried anodizing parts.

Lots of great tips as well.

I cannot wait to see the end result!

Tintin.

Re: The fastest of em all - The finned motor plate MID build

Awesome build Dennis, I truly hope you will race that thing on carpet at least, with all the hopups you have put in there, it would be a sacrilège not to run it!

Re: Turbo Optima Mid SE ?

Hello,

Nice find, and yes its a Turbo Optima Mid SE with Andy's arms and bumper.

Not 100% sure, but I think The Kyosho Optima Mid SE did not come with any motors...

Re: Javelin or Schumacher Cat XLS re re?

What makes a car a "racer" vs a "basher? Shouldn't a durable, fast, race-ready car also be great for bashing about? Bashing, I think means more of a carefree driving around without the worry of having to adjust many parameters for the car to run correctly. And I also think the Javeli...

Re: Javelin or Schumacher Cat XLS re re?

Javelin for bashing and small vintage races, but if you plan on racing it, and want to learn about how to dial it in, then the CAT. But for a novice, the Javelin is so much more precise and fun to built and drive. I would be scared to get a CAT for bashing, as you might bashing with it 2 or 3 times,...

Re: Le Mans motor restorations

Congratulations on your motor restorations! They look great and seems to go like new!

Love all the Kyosho motors they are like GEMS!

Quick question:

What do you use to control the motor? rpm, timing, etc...

Thanks
