Kyosho Owner's Club sticker for the win.
I want to petition that they allow Cox owner's into their group so it can be called the Kyosho Cox Owner's Club. Would make the acronym even better.

Nice Lars, Thanks. Just when I think I've seen 'em all. Yeah I see he went for and RCH on the roof just like me. And another Andy-painted driver! Has got to be pretty rare you'd think.
Phin we can start a stateside chapter pretty easily.

This is the only two I have seen and I hope the third one will be mine some time.

You know Phin, I didn't realize it until this am, but the front shock from the IFS kit for a 12i may just be the ticket. I know that was mid 1980's, I wouldn't know if it was there in 83/84 though.
I won't hold my breath while attempting to find a pair of those bouncing around anywhere....

Kent Clausen won the 1982 Worlds with a 12i.
Scroll down in the below link and you can see the 12i listed in a 1983 AE order form.

Yeah that's nice, but I'm talking about the Part number 4210, the IFS that includes a shock in the front suspension.

Ahh my bad. I thought his 1982 car had the front shock on it.

It may have, in the prototype sense, I'm clueless in the on road arena. According to the sheet, we just missed it by 27 "special" part numbers, so we are close.

Love the paint and the deep dish sand rover rear wheels. Some day I'll get motivated to build my scorpions up
