Thing of beauty, like em just like that.
Fantastic !!

Wow nice start. Always enjoy watching your builds. Does anyone know if Losi made f & r wheels that fit the RC10? I think their disc style wheels would look good. While looking for disc wheels and discs for my LosiXXs I kept coming across A7129, discs for 2.2 Associated wheels. Almost ordered a c...

The build thread still lives on here https://www.kyosho-optima.com/midse.html

I referred to it many times during my ongoing Turbo Optima Mid SE thread.

While working on the MP5, hunting down parts, I chanced upon a standard MP6 that appeared to have been stored away for years. This was initially going to be a parts donor car but in the end I decided to do up this car at the same time. It's almost to the MP6 International spec, except the standard g...

Keep watching over the next few months I have a few projects I’ll be posting starting with a restore on this

Wow, very cool parts.....i didn't know that composite craft did such parts

Most of the parts are now almost ready to print. I just need to modify steering servo position towards the front.

Hi everyone, I'd like to share my build on the 1992 Kyosho Inferno. This is the first Inferno buggy designed by Yuichi Kanai-san, and the one that started the World Championship winning streak. I purchased this as a NIB kit. I had one back in the day, so this was a nice build for me. Unlike my MP5, ...

A couple of pictures of the box. In those days kits had so much box art, I recall the sense of occasion when getting to take home that RC car kit you'd wanted.

Interesting, this kit came with the shock absorbers pre-assembled. The differentials too. So assembly was quick and straightforward. The shocks have a nice, brown anodized color. 20210124_003418_remastered.jpg The gearbox halves slide together easily. The rear comes with a sway bar, and I added the ...

A few more optional parts that I was able to find off ebay. The ballraced steering system, special tie rods and steel shock bushings.

Optional parts from the 1993 Kyosho Catalog. 20211001_115222_remastered.jpg Note the BSW-60 special main chassis. This would be used later in the Turbo Inferno (MP4). From my MP5 project parts hunting I was able to find BSW51 engine mounts and BSW52 brake discs so these could be used in this build t...

Next I added the radio tray. I fitted it with the optional purple radio posts so they match with the engine mount. The Inferno came with a Lexan wing, but instead I fitted a nylon one from later series. The color would match nicely with the stock yellow wheels. 20210124_212418_remastered.jpg 2021013...

I sourced an engine from the same period, the OS RX-B, from Japan. During that time these engines had exhaust port outlets that could be removed and re-fitted with tailored manifold designs like this one from Kyosho. I liked the fact that the manifold could be bolted to the crankcase... no retaining...

Hi, here is my Rc10 RPM World's 91 conversion with Dynotech Klein Arms and 0.89 front shocks https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2021/09/28//21092804001026137617591488.jpg https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2021/09/28//21092803594826137617591485.jpg https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2021/09/28//2109280359422...
