RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Hello everyone, I actually found this forum googling things like Scorpion & Tomahawk. I recently dug out my old RC car (I never knew what it was) I just kept it because I thought it looked awesome being mostly aluminum. I have had this car for over 20 years and never had a clue (until recently) what it was. After looking through some online manuals, I believe it is a Kyosho Tomahawk. Since the car is 90% there I decided to go ahead with a restoration, but I am seeking help. Parts are not easy to find and I don't know what "Alternatives" I can use. After seeing some of the vintage cars here, I am just speechless...truly amazing buggy's! I look forward to chatting about these vintage cars with others that have a passion for them as well as I do.

You could not have found a better resource. The members here are what makes this the BEST RC forum there is.

Welcome to the site and post some pics of what you have, I am 100% sure you will be running your buggy in short order.

Hello, another Michigander...Michiganian...or what ever they call us. Welcome to the forum. Post up your restoration when you get a chance

Welcome! Yes, please post pictures. There are some Kyosho fans here, whether they admit it or not.

welcome and hold on to your wallet !!!! Restoring gets costly!! DON

Thank you all for the warm welcome. Yeah, I can already see this will become costly....if you can even find the parts, LoL. This will (no doubt) be a shelf queen. I ran a Kyosho Raider back in the mid 90's (A hand me down) and the LHS usually carried 3 yo and newer parts and so I had to order parts every time! I will post some pics soon in the Kyosho forums, Thanks guys

Welcome!!!

Alright, I'm right down the road from you. I prefer the term "Mid-Coasters"
