This was at one point a Marui Samurai. It was given to me by my friend who never really got to drive it as it was in this exact condition when it was given to him when he was a kid. I got halfway through breaking it down for cleaning and seeing what it needed before I realized it needs just about ev...

This project frustrates me. I was making great progress, and then life got really busy as usual. I feel that it won't get completed for some time. It is sort of a Traxxas SRT-ish Kyosho RT5/6 mongrel... Jeff's Rustler to SRT conversion chassis, white Traxxas 2wd plastics, and the shocks and hubs fro...

Well, I think my Schumacher Daytona project is an obvious candidate for this competition..... as a few people have been telling me! :oops: I remember looking at images and details of the Daytona back when they were initially released, in 1992/1993. At the time, I had a Schumacher Nitro 10, and the t...

I'll jump in! I guess mine isn't too bad, but I started with a complete roller and ended up with most of a slider after three years. THIS is my unicorn. When my parents brought me to the hobby store back in 1990 and asked which kit I wanted, I pointed to the blue and white buggy that looked like a s...

Finally getting some work done on this car. The transmission is together using 64p Thorp internals for ultimate efficiency. I'm trying to use a modern TLR 22 slipper setup, but I'm having a hard time getting everything to work properly. I think I may need to find a longer slipper spring. B4 slipper...

Got it finished up minus fuel tank and lines..been waiting on them for 3 weeks🤦....rear shocks are Tamiya Astute fronts with custom shafts and Avante Springs Messenger_creation_DB879299-38CF-42F5-9AF6-638C72423172.jpeg Messenger_creation_2E883A36-B40F-419C-9974-0342579F1F85.jpeg Mounted the throttle...

In 1998 Kyosho unveiled a new 1/10 4wd Nitro on-road model, the MOONEYES Street Van. MOONEYES was opened by Dean Moon in 1950 and produced speed parts for the burgeoning hot rod market. The company was purchased by Dean's friend Shige Suganuma in 1992 who has operated MOONEYES USA and MOONEYES Yokoh...

In 1998 Kyosho released a new version of their 1/12 tracked vehicle, the Nitro Blizzard. Originally introduced in 1982 and preceded by four iterations of advancing refinement the Nitro Blizzard would be the first to receive a gas powerplant. Sharing only its tracks with the first Kyosho Blizzard the...

Post them pics!

Someone take my place please. My mom's basement nearly flooded so I won't get any pics with all the water mitigation I have going on over here. I will take your place if there is still a spot. If I'm too late or it's already full that's ok. My Agama N110 build. Just waiting for the rest of the piec...

Charlie - Good recommendation. I also like the idea of using a 4/40 screw straight into the threads of the top shaft. I got some work done. Arms and towers mounted. Factory Works supplied the towers as well as the front carbon brace for the hinge pins. I had wanted to use an RPM front bulkhead for t...

Thanks ya'll. Awesome kit indeed, a nitro engine tearing across some fresh powder, that's the sound of fun... but imagine a group of these cranking around a snow-covered off-road track. :shock: :twisted: Blizzard EV comes in a couple days, but the DF-300 is post Y2K so that one'll have to remain a m...

Kyosho was making nitro wishes come true with the MOONEYES Street Van and Nitro Blizzard in this Aladdin's Tale ad from 1998: MOONEYES Street Van: 1/10 4wd Nitro on-road model released in 1998. Tribute to the MOONEYES vans created by the speed parts company opened by Dean Moon in 1950. Heavily based...

Finally...got it wrapped up the way I wanted

In 1999 Kyosho released a new option for 1/12 tracked vehicle fans, called the Blizzard EV. Sharing the spotlight with its nitro powered stablemate, the new EV would return to its electric roots, albeit not in twin 380 motor form like the original Blizzard from 1982, which was also sold as the Graup...
