I am trying to restore, and upgrade my Kyosho Raider ARR, this will probably take a while due to time, and money constraints. I already got a Traxxas XL-5 ESC in it to replace the mechanical speed control. It needs a ton of more work.

I plan on getting it running perfectly, I don’t have a specific thing I want to use it for. I also don’t want to put brushless in it due to the added stress to the driveshafts. It’s already capable of running 2s lipos.That's a nice vintage rig you got there!
What is you end goal for it?
What does it need? Looks complete to me.I plan on getting it running perfectly, I don’t have a specific thing I want to use it for. I also don’t want to put brushless in it due to the added stress to the driveshafts. It’s already capable of running 2s lipos.
New servo, new transmitter and receiver, bearings, possibly a new body if i can find a repro body, and stickers, new front upper arm due to the left arm being snapped in half, it’s currently held together with tape, it also needs a deep cleaning.What does it need? Looks complete to me.
It has a Lemans 240st motor which is actually super quick, I won’t be changing it. The new transmitter and receiver isn’t necessary, but it will give better range, and use less AA batteries.Oof all new electronics. How's the motor in it?

I had one laying around from my Slash 2wd which i converted to vxl. I probably won’t be using any more traxxas electronics.You already got the XL-5 in it, we're you planning on sticking with traxxas?
Nice, the TQ transmitters feel pretty good to hold, and have amazing range for a lower end transmitter. Unless you are talking about the old 27 mhz transmitter which i have never used before.Right, only reason I asked is because I just pulled a Traxxas TQ out of a 4-tec of mine.
Pretty much brand new. Got the traxxas corvette stingray a month or so ago. Only ran it twice with those.Nice, the TQ transmitters feel pretty good to hold, and have amazing range for a lower end transmitter. Unless you are talking about the old 27 mhz transmitter which i have never used before.
I think that the buggy would look better with some original parts so that it still has some character to it. Thanks for the offer, but sorry, I don’t think i’ll need it.Pretty much brand new. Got the traxxas corvette stingray a month or so ago. Only ran it twice with those.
If you're interested we could make a deal. Otherwise it'll just go on Ebay.
No worries. Just make sure and keep us all updated on your progress with this rig.I think that the buggy would look better with some original parts so that it still has some character to it. Thanks for the offer, but sorry, I don’t think i’ll need it.
Will do!No worries. Just make sure and keep us all updated on your progress with this rig.
Sorry for not updating the thread in a while but I finally got a video of the Raider running!
Thanks for the offer but I don’t believe that I need it, you could probably sell that since there are very few of them out there, there are probably people out there that need it.i think i have tbe new gear box with motor mounting plates and top cover snagged because i was clueless what it was for...doesn't happen often anymore. Ill give it to you since I'm new here.
