Kyosho Pro-X

[mrlexan]

Finished up my psuedo Pro-X resto over the weekend. I have wheel covers and a new set of rear arms (they are a bit yellowed) coming. Body is original, wing is as close to original as I could find.... believe it or not it's from Parma and looks exactly the same. I have a set of original decals but there is one of the side stripes missing of which I need to get printed up.

Very nice I wish I would have kept mine

What gives with the plastic they made the arms out of? I have a new set on the rear of my Pro-X, and they looked like crap out of the package...

i think my LHS has some pro-x arms in their bargain bins, never bothered picking them up, only because i didnt think i could recoup the $2.00 or whatever they cost lol. if anyone needs them let me know, i think they were in really good white shape

Looks great, Lex! Man, I shoulda bought that NIB one from bearrickster! Yeah, those arms yellowed really bad on mine. I ended up dying them. Of course mine was not a great car to begin with. I have a repro body from Brandon (thanks!) now so the XX body will eventually go on a Losi. Is that wing still available from Parma?

I totally love kyosho older cars to there present.
That pro-X is growing on me. ( Hmmm )
I actually have a few parts if you ever need, arms, bulkheads, shock towers etc.. etc.. New in Pack.

There's been a couple of the truck version of this car go for dirt cheap last week on the bay. One was brand new.

And those are actually sweeter than the buggy IMHO

The actual part # for the wing is still available in 3 colors direct from Kyosho. FYI

Good to know! Thanks.

Careful with the wing thing. I thought the same thing and even looked up the part number. I bought one in white and appears that they carried over the part number for the 1/8 scale wing. The wing is way too big/wide. I don't think it's the same dealio, unless I am missing something.

Even better to know!

Yeesh! The ones I saw were both electric. The used one didn't have transmission internals or a body but it looked pretty restorable. It went for $10.50. I can't remember exactly on the new built one but it was a shelf queen and went pretty cheap too.
