Anyway, added some decals I had left from the Optima Mid build

Couldnt resist to make some pic.. So, waiting the Senna helmet and the 2nd bash body, this is the self queen body I also used a smaller Honda logo on the nose, looks better imo. And added some detailed stickers at the rear.

The Japanese flags are applied with sticker paper, not the best paper quality, but it will do.. Gonna wait to take some nice quality pictures until I finally receive the Senna helmet; wich could take a few more months to ship (last quarter of the year :rolleyes:) (Also gonna buy a second body...

manual says to leave a gap of 1.5mm between top of shock body and top of the adjuster plastic....but that would make it sag a lot! So I left a gap of 9mm The end result is much nicer

So all electronics are installed, works perfectly, and can't wait to rip it :) But I'd rather have a spare body just for ripping, because I wouldn like to ruin the nice decals I have on now...:p So than after fooling around with some spacers (I even broke the cover of the trans case so I had to...

yes, but there are some choices Kyosho made that were plain stupid... Like the whole wing assembly was idiotic: nut in plastic of the same shape, when tighting the hex, the plastic isnt strong enough so the nut forces its way in its nut shaped jig. The heavy duty steel bar where the whole front...

Couldnt resist to post the almost finished result: looks wise its done for about 95% I'd say :cool: I am stoked with how it ended up looking and how the build went! A picture build will follow from start to end, but its kinda time consuming because of the big picture size I used to reduce...

just for fun, bought me some nice stands, that go together well with these classic buggies Blockhead Motors bling bling is expensive as expected, but imo worth it to show case a shelf queen :cool:

I assume the required dimensions for the ESC are more forgiving? because in one of the vids above they rode this esc from Robitronic: https://shop.robitronic.com/en/robitronic-razer-ten-r01250 48.5x38x32mm Kyosho sets the max dim. at: 40x35x28 🤷‍♂️ The other one rides a hobbywing combo...

look at it go at 3s tough

damn, its gotta be really inside their given specs than huh...damn okay I did find a pack withing spec, but its 'only' 2S....not sure if I would be satisfied with 2S here... Also forgot, I also pre ordered a 1/10 scale senna helmet a few weeks ago from Minichamps , will see how that will match...

'its Christmas every day!' (youtube RC volgers zullen zeker weten vanwaar dit komt) :p So I have everything now, but the electronics. I'm still heading towards an experiment with the Spektrum 2-in-1 combo: https://www.spektrumrc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=SPMXSEM1040B + one of their...

nice, wich ones are those?

new package arrived, rcMart = :cool: RC Channel bits: nice alu engine cage and their front bumper And black front Kyosho wheels. Too bad the rear black ones are out of stock everywhere....but on ebay Japan, might wait it out a bit before I order it on ebay coming from that far.... wanna...

but Kyosho might also bring out their longer chassis version of this and perhaps with the different body style, so unless you wanna see whats in store and have patience, you might wanna wait and see what comes out of the MID range too

when looking more closely at the product page, they do state the package will weigh over 2kg...so not under, be aware of that ;) I might also go big and order the Optima Mid when it comes out, that one is also sooo slick looking 🤤🥴🙌

lol aight, just read this and send you info about that German shop but without the link because I wasn't certain you would want German shops :) They are very reputable, so I'll send the link. The good stuff is, they send to the US, AND they have ALL of the legendary series in stock! :cool...

very nice man! I am talking about Europe, as you may be aware, and here the stocks seems fine. Some have em in stock, some dont, but they can be back ordered and be back in stock as soon as 1 week. I am even having a luxery problem where to buy them: go for a German RC shop wich has it in...

Fell in love with this kit the moment I saw it. And the idea of building it yourself is also an appealing argument to buy it... Seen many vids of these vids and of this particular kit already and its amazing how good Kyosho does it all: fit and finish, packaging, manuals, the whole experience...
