Vintage Daily Driver

Post by Goatless »

Just got this thing running :lol: Changed out the RX and charged some old Nicads. Ha! might have to keep the old thing to run at the local track in the vintage race :wink:

Although, it IS a Kyosho, so I'd prolly spend more time in the PITS!!! :mrgreen:

Now to just figure out how to get that servo on the wing working :?

Yes - I reckon you will be fighting them off in the pits - there will be so many people impressed with its awesomeness. :mrgreen:

Comments like - "how can something that looks so darn awesome be so darn quick as well......Jeeez Kysoho really are the best" - will be heard.

Cheers

Darryn

P.S - I like Kyosho!! ;)

Goatless, never say gone,as 20 or 30 years ago there was no internet, our old cars sold are usually near home.

I had recovered my early Lazer ZX , sold to a newcomer in 1991 to buy the then "new" ZX-R , and after some searching I located the owner and bougth it in 2010 just as i sold it 19 years before, only a one-way pulley and his nut missing. Owner lost this parts and car was put aside in a box for decades until I appear calling at door with a picture of me with the car . Was a nice day. I offered the same amount that traded it in 1991 and car came home with me. I was very very happy.

Looks like a lazy way to limit down travel with zip-ties :shock: Funky servo use for the wing too!

And you should have your work cut out for you if want to adjust under a race! But it’s a cool fetcher… :mrgreen:
