Kyosho ZABOON 100%

Kyosho Zaboon 30191 Released 2001 by Kyosho Ready to run. Entry level offroad model. 4wd

Shaft driven, Double deck chassis. Oilfilled dampers, Dogbone drive-shafts, bushing ring type bearings

Beginners RTR car, basher. Not for racing.


Sorry to say, Nothing special , not a Collector item sadly

EDIT:

This is a fun Backyard basher.
Bring new life to it.
Alot wd40 cleaning then new Bearings
Clean diffs and then fill with New grease , Marine Silicone.
Fine Sandpapering to hinge pins a little bit with wd40
Cheap 2.4ghz radiosystem.
And run it

Avoid crash. all parts are Canceled

This is worth restauration because it has not been driven much, body is like new, stock wheels have not wear totally.
I believe it has 15 runs only.
So diff gears and shocks and everything is still in perfect kondition i believe, just change to new oils in shocks

EDIT 2

Is that left left side A Arm cracked at hinge pin in front ?

 

[JezHall]

Thanks for that detail. Exactly what I was after!

I only paid £20 for it as a project. I’ve got a few spare ESC’s and motors.

can I get bearings for it if it’s discontinued? I assume I measure the existing ones and buy generic?

That was very cheap. Value shold be at 50-65 bucks
So you got it less than half price.

YEAH you can buy them real bearings
only 2size in this car Fantastic

[JezHall]

Thank you.

I'll strip it down and check out the condition in the next few days.

I need to decide whether to put a spare brushless setup in it or keep it standard.....

 

[rccar4life]

i would install 2s brushless if you have one system laying,
these 3650/3660 50-60amp are cheap also from china like 40bucks with VAT and shipping
Remember it is 4wd, maybe 3660 and 60amp is safest

 

[Doom!]

I gotta stop skimming titles, at a quick glance I thought this said "Does anyone here identify as a Kyosho?"
I think the current state of affairs has my brain addled.

I have an Etronix Phaser ESC with an Etronix Photon motor spare if that would do?
