Storm o' Kyoshos over the holidays...

Post by dahlelama »

Over the holidays it seriously rained Vintage Kyosho in my shop. Folks just kept bringing them in... and I just keep taking them home.

Kyosho Double Dare. New built and never run. It's just dusty. I'm not kidding when I tell you there is another one, unbuilt in the box it's sitting on.

Kyosho Super8 Porsche 959. I love the big onroads like this. It's all there and in great shape.

Kyosho Rampage Gas Truck. Looking at the bottom of this thing you'd think it had never been run. It's in great shape and runs like a champ.

And a really nice Kyosho Wild Dodge monster truck that is in great shape too. Thought I took a picture of that one... I'll have to post that later.

Also not pictured is a well used Kyosho Ultima 4wd and a pair of 1st Gen Optima buggies (Optimas came from eBay. My wife is chapped so I'll just keep one).

Actually, to be chronologically correct, the Ultima was a 2WD Optima. :P
