Kyosho Nostalgic Series

[Dangeruss]

In 1995 Kyosho released the Nostalgic Series lineup of 1/10 4wd nitro touring cars. Based on the Pure Ten GP Spyder chassis the Nostalgic Series aim was to provide static model levels of scale detail on a competition level chassis. Offered as a Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Ford GT40, Ferrari 250GTO, Ferrari 330, MGB MK1, and Cobra Daytona Coupe Kyosho capitalized on the narrow track width of the touring car chassis to create cars that were more dimensionally proportional compared to their predecessors. Built from a Duraluminum plate chassis with a stiffening aluminum upper radio plate the Nostalgic Series of cars featured four-wheel independent suspension with lower a-arms and fixed plastic camber links all around, twin bellcrank steering with an aluminum drag link, built-in servo saver, and non-adjustable plastic tie rods. Plastic bodied coilover friction shocks were fitted to the chassis via aluminum shock towers front and rear. A pinion and spur primary drive powered the triple belt 4wd system with bevel gear differentials front, rear, and center while metal dogbones and axles passed through plastic knuckles and carriers at each corner. 260/40ZR18 radial style tires were wrapped around nylon wheels in lace or spoke styles with either black, gold, red, or silver finishes depending on the vehicle. Each unassembled model was equipped with Kyoshos GS-11X recoil start motor, muffler, disk brake, bushings, flip top gas tank, highly detailed clear lexan body, and a multitude of scale accessories such as side pipes, mirrors, wipers, headlights, grilles, trim, etc., less radio:

Would take any one of those, but that Ferrari 250 GTO is the one I'm looking for.

I kept this pic from an auction.


Someday maybe.
