Kyosho Javelin Legendary series - 30618
Posted: Sun Jun 27, 2021 4:37 pm
Hello!
While I'm waiting to restart the Marui Hunter project, I decided to start the build of the Javelin which was sitting under my desk for the last few months...
The opened box is as usual nice and clean. Almost tempted to keep it this way, but that's not possible for me . I'll break some blisters today!
For the small story, the chain is delivered in this kit while it is an option in the Turbo Optima kit (I have the pic of the other box, but as it is planed for later, you can't see it )
Metal parts bag A. We start by the diffs. That's basically when you will have to choose between belt or chain. It will be belt for me, as I intend to use this car with a brushless setup.
Then, we prepare the rear diff box, with the ball bearings...
We add it the diff, the belt and the final gear...
and we close the box...
Next is part metal bag B, and front diff box...
After having closed it, we add the belt channels top and bottom, before adding the wing mount, and to fix the main chassis, the rear plate and the motor protection (and yes, sorry, I forgot a few pics :-/ )
Like with the Turbo Scorpion, the instruction manual is very clear and the elements requiring attention are particularly highlighted... I'll probably spend less time to build it than the Turbo Scorpion, at least because paint will not take much time with this build...
Next steps in some days...
