Hi everyone, I'd like to share my build on the 1992 Kyosho Inferno. This is the first Inferno buggy designed by Yuichi Kanai-san, and the one that started the World Championship winning streak. I purchased this as a NIB kit. I had one back in the day, so this was a nice build for me. Unlike my MP5, ...

I sourced an engine from the same period, the OS RX-B, from Japan. During that time these engines had exhaust port outlets that could be removed and re-fitted with tailored manifold designs like this one from Kyosho. I liked the fact that the manifold could be bolted to the crankcase... no retaining...

Thanks Dadio. They are indeed made of asbestos.. thanks for pointing that out, I'm going to change them out just to be safe. As long as it's not releasing dust it's safe enough , for the shelf you could clear coat them to seal them up , if you want to run it though they have to be replaced to be sa...

Nice little JRX2 Proformance I picked up with early motor plate and I think a TOP Models slipper.

Hey all, I picked up a JRX2 a couple weeks back originally with the intention of just restoring it but now I’ve decided to get her running in the local 17.5 class. First, a little backstory about myself: I started racing off road Production class with my box stock RC10 in 1986 (IIRC) here in Las Veg...

Finally have a complete set of logo buggy wheels. I love all the fruit loop colors from that time!

Both Kyosho & Tamiya gave us the chance to feel what real racing was all about, but it’s much more affordable and a lot less dangerous....

I did not made updates on this thread lately... First, shocks issue was solved with Tamiya red o-rings. They works much better, and the don't leak anymore. I received the under guard from Optima House recently. I had the time to mount them during an evening, butt did not bother to take pictures at t...

Just a beautiful day outside today so had to get this one out for a lil' run on a dirt ramp I have started making.

I don't have pictures of all of them, but here are some. I've been really bad about not finishing cars/trucks over the past couple years. Some are runners, some are incomplete, some are realized projects that took decades for me to even begin creating :) Custom Anodized 22-4 converted to a 4wd truck

More of that same category (didn't realize I've kept so many pictures).

Custom anodized NXT

Early Gen 1 XX4, cleaned up the best I can.

The one that was in my mind for decades before I actually built it - I still havent run it, but I will one day....
