Kyosho V-One R4 Question

[strakajagr]

Hey everyone,

New here. I'm thinking about buying a new nitro touring car. I have my eye on the Kyosho V-One R4, but am wondering if anyone knows if has an option 2-speed transmission add-on?

Or does anyone know of ANY nitro touring cars (any size) with a 2-speed transmission? I have an HPI Super Nitro RS4 Rally with a 2-speed transmission and it's amazing. Was hoping to find another one.

Thanks!!

The HSP "Flying Fish" is decent, cheap, and still in production. It's not as nice as a kyosho, admittedly, but I've built several from rollers just to play with different engines and do some personal best speed runs.

On the stock engine I got 39mph, I was able to get up to 53mph with a new clutch bell and an SH-12 engine

Nice!! I will take a look. I actually went with a lower priced option yesterday and ordered the Kyosh FW06 for well under $300 including shipping.

But I'm definitely gonna look at what you sent. Thanks!

That's a great car too, I think you'll like it more overall. I should've mentioned it, mine went 45mph completely stock.

That's so quick.

So I took apart my TC3 today. It hasn't been used in literally 20 years. I think I stuck my old Super Rally RS4 motor on it way back when cuz it's an HPI 12R SS. It's currently sitting in a bath of B'laster to see if I can unfreeze it. Doesn't look rusted, just totally stuck. If I can't fix it, I'm gonna be in the market for a replacement cuz, and I think I just discovered this today, it has 2 gears. I think. I know the HPI car does. This one I didn't use as much so I just can't remember. But it certainly looks like and now I gotta find out. I gotta get her runnin' again.
