Assembled my Kyosho Optima Mid LWB conversion

There are some cheap ones on Amazon, like those used in power tools. Ebay is probably the only other readily available option, at least for anything good.

Just beautiful

I tapped mine on my Boomerang.
Enjoy the build.

Thank you!

Awesome build ! I really like seeing experiments and innovation.

Got the EXODesign carbon fiber chassis with white wheels for the Re Re 870/YZ10, and possibly Works 91 (picking up Saturday). I like the box, pretty nice. Going to go with Cliff Lett 90s ROAR car as a theme, as it was what inspired the paint scheme (team car) I ran when I had my original YZ10. Which...

Got this nice nice nice lot from eBay, delivered today..... one of those super-cheap Buy It Now efforts that I rarely ever see. 20250117_134042.jpg 20250117_134049.jpg What was included: - Super-nice condition PB Maxima box - Set of four Optima rear wheels and tyres, painted silver and gold, for som...

I do have what I think is a ZX-R, but im not an expert could be a distant but it does have the solid nylon Layshaft, and Ball diffs front and rear. And the Narrower chassis. The suspension arms look to be ZX though, and the ,Fibrelyte towers and steering linkage (not bent at the ends alloy?) Shock ...

Good score! I have 203/204s in every buggy I own

In 1991 Kyosho released two 1/10 electric off-road buggies to the market, a revised 4wd Lazer, now in ZX-R guise, and the all new 2wd Triumph which replaced the venerable Ultima buggy: Triumph: Double deck carbon fiber (US) and fiberglass (Japan) chassis with adjustable (20/25/30 degree) front kicku...

And the ZX-RR or ZXR Mk2 Also added: Hyperclutch, Active steering sensor 6 cell slot chassis Grey Teflon shocks? Different side motor plate LA-26 webbed non-webbed version. Rear hub plates (only used on the ZX-R mk2 and ZX-RR as shock mounts) Didn't use the dog leg upper control rod ends on the fro...

I’m happy with the bodywork.

For the Rocky/Raider, I started a small substitute parts thread here. It won't solve all your problems, but I found some Tamiya outdrives, PN OP-218, that'll substitute and I think are a bit more durable than the original kyosho parts. Unfortunately my CVD solution is probably no longer possible to ...

Along with the Jrxt body that I rescued from my folks' house, a Jrx Pro body returned home. The original chassis was given to another family member, so I'll have to build up a new chassis to sit under the body. I've had this basket case, mismatched buggy in storage for many years. Much like the Jrx2...

Making some progress on this build. Definitely not a beauty queen. 😁 But it is going to be a strong runner. Decided to go with a 10T nose plate and a spare 3Dprinted front arm mount leftover from my Detroit buggy build. RPM arms and a trimmed shock towers (top was split) are added. An old set of alu...
