IMO, the best looking monster truck of the '80s was the Kyosho Double Dare! Not the best at really anything else, but looks wise, the DD does it for me!! :D So, through horse trading, I have ended up with two semi-crappy Double Dares, so might as well make one out of the best parts. This will be a r...

Reminds me of the clear Revell visible engine models from back in the day.

What body do we have here?

RCPS Mirage SS. Repopped by a few guys. Sabula Tech would be most accurate because it doesn't have the raised section above the gear cover. Boki and TBG repop the Proline reissue of the Mirage SS that has it.

Composite Craft RPM '91 Worlds
Not a replica - all vintage parts that were readily available starting in the early 90's up to around '94

Thought I’d share some pics of my Kyosho Javelin I just got into runner status. I installed a Hobbywing 1060 ESC (fit great but needed to extend the Battery/motor wires) and a OG Kyosho 480 gold motor. I also added a couple upgrades, a carbon top plate and shock mounts to break up some of the gold… ...

thanks for the update, I didnt expect to see them get more. I am on chat since they dont know how to use phones these days, and hopefully they will get my order filled with the coupon I had used when I placed the order. Going on 35 minutes in chat now. They found my order but cant figure out if they...

Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy!!!! And Joel even signed my box!

Hopefully this doesn't develop into the need to also turn an original into a race replica. I already got rid of the Ultima that I had for that cancelled plan.

Great looking start to your build! Should be a fun one.

I feel your frustration on the mismatched anodizing, but I actually think the two different shades look great. They compliment each other.

Looking forward to this one. Thanks for the build thread.
