For diff plates, can you use ordinary washers? For gears, can you simply print them? With a car this small and light, I'd bet printed gears would hold up okay. Is it worth trying??

After years of pissing, moaning, whining and crying over this, FINALLY! P1011027.JPG I reckon they can dig the hole now. :wink: Of course, this RC is very old news by now and is probably nearing market saturation. It seems everyone has them in stock and most who have wanted one, have them by now.

Okay Dadio, now you're speaking my language. :D Do they need to be recent photos? I have these from a couple summers ago - when it used to rain here. :roll: P1010310.JPG P1010152.JPG P1010154.JPG This is what we have now - dryer than a popcorn fart.

It finally rained here yesterday.
Today, the puddles on the track have receded by mid afternoon and I was able to run a few laps just before sunset.
A damp track = superb traction.

From my experience, if the track wasn't swept and is very wet, the lose dirt becomes sticky (like mud) and can fill tires with very tightly spaced rows of spikes, turning them into slicks. Pro-line hole shots are one example. In this case, I go with tires with more widely spaced spikes as they tend ...

Now, the car traction rolls even on dry powder. I probably would prefer a little less traction.
Wow, I didn't think I'd ever say that.

It's loads of fun anyway.

Wow, what a nice build!! :shock: I agree with your comments regarding the shocks. The new re-release versions are great but they are bottom fill (no separate top cap with diaphragm). This makes them emulsion rather than pressure shocks like the vintage ones. This is disappointing. I'm guessing this ...

Did this project get any further? The idea of having a geared diff in something that still resembles or looks like the Stealth box is so appealing. I'd buy a couple for sure. Not yet. I’ve been running printed transmission cases in the Optima Mid for a few weeks now and I’ve had some problems keepi...

I have a re-re Turbo Scorpion daily runner and while I agree that it's great fun to bash around in the yard, it's far from perfect. The front axle beam tends to bend easily and can become loose and rotate which makes the wonky steering and suspension geometry even worse. I ran my car with a 3500kV b...

Well done, sir. I've found the overall quality of Kyosho products are second to none and I believe the TS is one of the best looking 2wd buggies of all time. If anyone is interested... Out of the box, my runner car tended to oversteer on a loose dirt track so I've made some rear suspension mods to p...

In stock form, my car's rear camber angle measured 6-1/2 degrees which I felt was far too much for optimal rear traction. It also caused uneven tire wear. The redesigned stanchions brought the angle back to 1 degree which is what I run on my RC10's. The car handles much better now but it still won't...

Well, I don't consider myself a guru but I'll chime in anyway. :D Remember that your choice of backing color is important as it will alter the final color. Although it's probably not the best example, I've used Tamiya PS2 Red for the wing's side boards and it matches reasonably well with MCI repro d...

I've noticed that as well with the MCI decals; the red has a slight orange tint but it's very subtle. So you could attempt to mix paint for an air brush or you could go with rattle cans. You might try two coats of PS2 red followed by one or two coats of PS7 orange. Either way, could you post your re...

Very nice. I like it!

My "box art" TU happens to be red.
So, you want your "box art" TU to be red, buy your decals from MCI.
