Body and paint went so-so. Have some things to correct, and decals are going to take awhile, so this is how she sits now. She is fully functional, with only one real mechanical issue. In playing around with the MSC and servo, I managed to install the horn nowhere near neutral, and it is probably about 30* off. In a car, this isn't an issue. In this tight bike, with everything installed on top of one another, and all wiring cut to length, such a simple adjustment means tearing apart half the bike. Oh, well, it'll be fine.

I build RCs like people would have done back in the '90s ..................................... if they had 3D printers.

Shared link to a clean Kyosho / Kraft / Graupner Eleck Rider instruction manual. When I got mine, the only full digital manual was for purchase only, and was not that great of quality.

Anyone with knowledge of the original kit? I just got one in trade that is new in the box from 1987. I did some Google-ing and it looks as though there is a cheaper, or newer version? This was partially built, but never ran. I'm not sure if I'm...

I didn't realize they ever discontinued it :lol:
Seems like since '94 or so every time I'm on ebay they're all over the place. I found a HOR a couple months back nib with a battery, bearing set, and RS-M unit hiding inside the box for $100,...

Interesting restored item on Ebay I spotted tires included but no body. Rear end reminds me of the Stinger but I don't know Kyosho stuff. As of 10 hours to go on the auction the hi bid was 12 bucks.

Looks more like a Kyosho Assault.
a big one then: the assault being 1/10 and this 1/8

I've seen a similar car once in a lhs and 1/8 buggies back then look a lot bigger than they are now. Pretty funny as 1/10 on the other hand seems to have...

reeaaally rough. I have all the parts plus tons of extras (gears too), just no time. The tub will require more bondo than I care to think about due to numerous electrical demons and subsequent meltdowns. Looks to me like the steering servo became...

Finally decided to crack the kit open. I found this one with a real decent BIN price and when I opened the box I found more goodies! The extended battery, bearings, and RS-M set were all inside. Score!

Anyway, since I will be running this i...

I've recently rekindled my interest in RC bikes. I had one of these but never finished it. Curious to see this progress and will be patiently waiting for a video.
