Hi, joined the forum specifically because of your build thread, love the work you’ve done on recreating this car and I’m planning on making my own as always loved the Dirty Harry films and remember going to the cinema to see The Dead Pool when I was 16. Do you have contact details for dhawk that yo...

Ordered two of these from the UK last night, The Dead Pool project is moving forward again, thanks to @TxRx 8) May take a couple weeks to get them. That's very cool. Don't remember you saying anything fruitful about your message to Mid-America, and coming from L&L, wonder if it's Pinguin making...

big day for me. I've been looking for NOS XL2P for several years. For many years now I've been working on a copy of my exact RC10L setup from the late 80's using mostly new parts. This was the last piece to the puzzle.

Yeah that's awesome. I didn't realize they were emailing people about it. Great customer service!

oh crap! thanks. I didn't buy the JJH but I'm turning my 40th into one. I bought a pre-painted body and was wondering if and when I could get parts...looks like it's $87 w/o coupon for all the custom parts.

One of these is definitely on my list!

In 1987 Kyosho released a 1/10 2wd electric off-road racing buggy called the Ultima, a model that would not only win them a World Title at the hands of Joel Johnson but live on through half a dozen future iterations. The foundation for the first Ultima was a slender formed aluminum chassis with pres...

Hmm. Is the change to WB because Manx chassis plate length differs from the stock FRP plate? Anyway, the roll bar and rear guard fasten directly to the transmission which is standard SRB so I don't understand why there is a problem. How does the Manx roll bar differ from the standard SRB part with r...

Bidded and forgot. Ended up "winning". In the post now!

Ah, now I see it -- thanks.
A design flaw, perhaps.
Anyway, I have merged the inner half of the pipe joints with the Manx roll bar and uploaded the stl file to the Beach Buggy Body Set on the Google drive.

Hmmm. The CAD model sets level so not sure what has happened. Anyway, it's an easy fix. What length does your model need to establish desired ride height?
At least they're not leaking.

I agree; rear arms should be level. On the CAD model, front shocks are 61.85 while rears are 50.20. I could make the shocks functional but then you would need springs. Does anyone make spring steel filament? :lol: BTW, how do the fronts look; is length correct? right side profile.jpg rear view.jpg

In 1987 Kyosho released the Optima mid, a 1/10 4wd electric off-road racing buggy and the third design to wear the Optima badge. Not just a rebody like the Salute and Javelin, the new Optima was redesigned from the ground up, as its name suggests, to be a mid-motor racing machine. New from stem to s...
