Re: 2014 Kyosho Beetle

The driver base looks fantastic! Well done!!

Yeah, I'm really not a fan of the full window stickers. I can never get them to set correctly.
If I use them, I'll go back and cut next to the faux weatherstrip and remove the clear portion.

Yes, there is a slight resemblance.
Actually, I wouldn't mind owning that Pinto in your photo. I've been binge watching The Barn Find Hunter and after roughly 170 episodes, I've discovered that I like wagons. :D

“aftermarket” RC10 gold chassis pan

Sorry if this has already been discussed. I watch this site closely and haven't seen it mentioned but it's possible that I've somehow missed it. I’ve recently noticed these popping up on ebay – around the time AE announced the 40th. Maybe these have been available for a while? I search ebay daily bu...

If it's this one you were thinking about,

... feel free to "borrow" the livery.

It wasn't my idea anyway. :lol:

Re: “aftermarket” RC10 gold chassis pan

I find nothing wrong with offering replacement parts.
If they are made using tooling that AE owns and without their permission, then obviously that's a problem.

Re: 2014 Kyosho Beetle

Well, I guess it could be. This body has bounced around a lot lately.

The BB was converted to a Stadium Blitzer a couple months back and the BB body has landed on a custom DT-02 chassis.

Re: kyosho ZX5 is back- sort of

I was asleep through the Lazer years so I missed this one.
Early reports say that pricing will be reasonable so I'm considering adding this one to the collection.
Actually, it would probably go onto the stack of unbuilt kits but whatever. :D

Re: Tamiya Sand Scorcher - 2010 Reissue

Yeah, the nose fits very tight between the fenders without paint. I can't see how you could install it after paint. Not without scratching it anyway. I paint mine as an assembly. On the Blitzer Beetle body (maybe SS body as well), there was an odd recess above the front fenders (ahead of the gas doo...

Re: Tamiya Sand Scorcher - 2010 Reissue

Looking good.
You're brave to tackle the nose-body gap.
I chickened out on mine. :lol:

Re: The dog thread

Well, it's been a few months since our precious Louie left us, so time for a new four-legged bundle of bark. This is Rudy , a 2 1/2 year old Kelpie. 20240316_165039.jpg We adopted him from a home where he was pretty much locked outside all day, and locked in the laundry all night, with NOTHING in b...

Re: So, what did you do RC today?

Those two Kyosho's truly are magnificent. Very nice indeed! Today, for the first time in years, I pulled the B3 off the shelf, blew the dust off, fitted some electronics (Reedy 3300kV, Reedy SC600BL, XP servo, Futaba clone Rx), and drove it around the track for a few laps. What a car! As much as the...
