Hi first of all cool looking buggy, awesome body I like it reminds me of the monster beetle. Also was just wondering you're steering cranks are? What make is it, I need one for my car, the one I currently have on it doesn't give enough clearance for the ball cups. So in the end they rub against each...

Cool thanks for reply, I had a Dhawk on my list to buy but if it just provides the same result, then back to drawing board

I just built a couple of coyote's and I broke 2 of the new arms. I then began polishing the suspension balls and everything is much smoother. No more broken arms and no more binding. I haven't finished the cars yet because the next project was tying to get the shocks to work properly. There's just s...

IF REFERING to the cups hitting you haft use stock associated cup at tower or on inside of steering rods when running the RPM cups.DON

Plastics parts in hot water around 20 minutes, and tap the holes before the screws

Plastics parts in hot water around 20 minutes, and tap the holes before the screws I'd be wary of that suggestion; nylon can be freshened & strengthened by boiling in water, but ABS plastics can deform and melt...so be careful. Certainly wouldn't use boiling water, just warm water. Or a hair dr...

....pretty sure it says to boil them in the manual

I'll get a pic tonight

My experience with the SG plastic has been just to make sure they are at a decent room temperature of say 20 degrees C and upwards and they are quite ok.

Cheers

Nice Coyote Trey. Good to see another one. :) I'm putting together a 4WD runner with some mods for reliability. Luckily, I had no problems with the suspension pivot balls splitting the arms. Some were quite tight in their sockets though and I did the same as PRP to loosen them up. I ran a long M3 sc...

Here's my resto:

Such an interesting and primitive design. Were they ever raced competitively?

Did tomahawks come with gear cases from the assault? I thought they had a scorpion gear case

One of my Tomahawks has the same gear box, also came with 10mm shocks and spike Sand Supers.
My guess is Kyosho was using up parts.

I guess it's not hard for people's comments and opinions to come off seeming a little offensive, sorry for that. It all comes down to reality though, doesn't it. The reality is that in 2014 the vintage enthusiast now has a wide varirty of vintage buggy rereleases to wet their appetite. Whilst a lot ...

It is a great looking buggy and I can say from experience, it doesn't take long to rack up the $$$ when restoring one back to new. I am almost (99%) finished with mine and I have at least $400 invested in it already. You can look at my thread and see how much of it I already had. That is just the co...
