Vintage Kyosho Advance I just picked up. It needs few things. Most stuff I have, and the only thing I don't have is the roof.

I was tempted to buy this also, looks like it would clean up very well the rear tires are very fresh, I'm about to restore a Landjump 4D, and I'll race you.

I'll keep an eye out for parts.

Thanks! This is one car I have always liked. I'll get some fresh pics up. It looks to be a sound roller.

Nice score!

I also consider bidding on that car for parts, but then I released that I had enough projects as it is...

I saw that on eBay, and was going to get it but I have way too many Circuit 1000 buggies already.

I like the look of the 7th gen turbo scorpion body, but want a gas powered one. Would it fit the assault or advance or would I need to make modifications? I just purchased the Advance on ebay and it's like new.

Last post

Yes, I purchased that one, but I will leave that one original. I purchased another Advance or Assault off ebay without the engine and body, it was advertised as Kyosho Buggy with no other info, but I am sure it's an assault. I have also been...

Local guy had this Raider so we traded some stuff, I got this and he got an RC10 chassis that I had. It's 99.9% complete, only thing missing is original antenna tube and I guess straps that hold the battery down.

It runs good, but needs to be...

I used to dress like that in the 80's :(

I cleaned the dust off the body, came out nice. I ran it last night but the AM system is very sensitive. She took off on me and I had to give chase. Forward to reverse is VERY touchy, and when you turn, it's...
