New Tomahawk chassis built from Paragu2000 anodized parts

Post by KyoshoScorpionKid »

I just got these built and they look amazing, I'm partial to red and red does look better in the pictures. On the red chassis I am also using his aluminium wheels.

Those look awesome! I know the RC10 fanatics here would disagree, but there's just something about a ladder-type frame that's the bees' knees. I've never really been partial to bathtub chassis'. Of course both have their pros & cons...but that's just my 2 pesos. 8)

Nice! How good does Pargu's red match Kyosho's red anodizing?

His red is better than blue, it just looks nicer for sure.

Very cool looking. How many parts does he make and how close are they to the originals?

The parts are an excellent match the originals, fame rails, rear shock support, front shock support, rear arm support, front steering support. As for the parts for a tomahawk they are actually not hard to pull together. I was thinking of building a polished tomahawk chassis and placing it on ebay all you need to do is add electronics if you want to drive it and paint it if you wanted painted. Not sure what they would sell for but if I had enough demand I would make them and sell them in different stages.

I loved my Tomahawk!! I would love to see them back again. I just. Couldn't stand the constant breaking of those cast front arms. I don't know if I could find any of the old parts but I think I will have to and visit moms attic :D
