(A little off topic) Thanks for that, after following that link I now desperately need a Mugen K2X Spirit and SR-Tempest and they aren't going to be cheapMr. ED wrote: check all the pages: you'll find fun stuff.

Re: - AYK Boxer -
The Boxer is now temporarily on wheels again. Also reinstalled the whip antenna mount, steering servo and Kyosho motor. Now waiting for a huge lot of NIP AYK parts from Darryn to finish it
Pics with body will come soon, stay tuned guys

Re: - AYK Boxer -
Great work David - Another AYK brought back from the dead!
I will hopefully be able to start re-producing bodies next year for alot of these cars - damn mate - that Boxer needs a new body now....when you get the stuff I am sending you - it will be absolutely perfect - like it was just built from the box ....just need that body!
Again - great work mate.
Cheers
Darryn Johnson

Re: - AYK Boxer -
WOW that's a wreck mate! Looks like the rear mount has been reversed to fit in a box to be shipped, I don't see any other explanation. Anyway, chassis is bent, front parts are missing and everything looks a bit rusty

Re: - AYK Boxer -
WOW! I was away for a few weeks and look what happen! Man you make me miss my cars back home in Canada. I have a few AYKs too but none here in the Netherlands... Next time I go home I'll spend some time with them too
Darryn, did I read you correctly? You are going to make repros of AYK bodies? It's really time someone do this. I bough a Bobcat body from Japan a few year back and I paid $80 for it. I don't even dare painting it.... So even less running it. So do you plan to sell those or just make them for you?
Great job on the car Asso_man I'm 100% with Darryn this is one of the best brand to get. The Radiant is awesome too... chain driven 4wd. All gold anodized like one of our favorite one on this forum.... Pro Radiant is very cool too!
Cheers!!
