Thought I’d share some pics of my Kyosho Javelin I just got into runner status. I installed a Hobbywing 1060 ESC (fit great but needed to extend the Battery/motor wires) and a OG Kyosho 480 gold motor.

I also added a couple upgrades, a carbon top plate and shock mounts to break up some of the gold… Also added Kyosho tie rods(the stock ones looked like tooth pics hahaha) and some front universals.

I love the javelin and yours looks great! I have a rere optima I'm also currently building up to be a javelin runner. I noticed you have all the gold metal parts, did you start with a rere turbo optima and convert it?

Correct, started with Rere Optima

This buggy looks great! Well done.. I love those Kyosho titanium turnbuckles because they look like old Tecnacraft ones.
