Got a question.

Sorry, no pics to post. A friend of mine brought a kyosho buggy for me to look at to see what it would need to get going again. It's 4wd, the cover looks like one for a slipper clutch (but it doesn't look anything like a slipper), and the front diff is driven by a chain. The buggy is 10+ yrs old and has no markings other than kyosho on the front bumper, it appears to be 10th scale. Sorry for the limited info but its all I have, anyone no what model it might be? Thanks for any help!

Kyosho Optima, by the sounds of it. I had one of those, they're a blast with a mild stock motor. Anything more than that, and that chain saws the drivetrain apart.

Sounds like an older Kyosho buggy. Optima it could be or even an older Kyosho buggy. Post some pics

I remember mine,had one many many ...damn many years ago.

Optima looks like the animal I was looking for, thanks for the help guys. One last question, do you know where I can get parts?

 

[HeartBreak]

eBay. Or I might, repeat - MIGHT have some parts left over from mine. I'll have to dig thru the buckets and see what I got. Provided I can _find_ 'em. I know I have some inner trans parts, and that's about it.

Thanks Heartbreak! I'll let you know if they are needed. lol Right now the only thing I think I will need is a Tx/Rx, steering arm that goes to the servo, and possibly a esc & motor. Any suggestions if I do need a motor?
