New unassembled Kyosho Lazer ZX 6.6, and once run Ultima RB 6.6, schumacher mini pins, new motor.
Saw these on a local trade site, appreciate its not latest model, but way better than i can drive at my local track
Awesome trade too, well under new price of the Ultima, my weekends sorted.
Stay safe

Great post day! But I have to gripe a little. :? Good ol' USPS was supposed to deliver half of this, this past Thursday, when the wife was at the beach; and the other half was supposed to show up this coming Tuesday, when the wife would be at work. BUT NO! Both show up an hour after she gets home from a beach trip! Oh well, she is getting used to it, but I feel like she looks at me funny when they get delivered. :mrgreen:

First half, an A stamp RC10 which is great but they didn't mention the bottom was super scratched and all anodizing removed. For the price, it is forgiven and will be a powder coating project. 2nd half is NIB Kyosho Kraft Eleck Rider.

:lol: Funny how the USPS works. Your stuff would have been late otherwise. Good find on the bike. Any plans to paint it or display it as is?

Yet another piece of the Kyosho Turbo Optima Mid puzzle.
I originally was not going to replace these sprockets and gears but they came at a fairly reasonable price, all things considered.
Almost had a set a couple months ago but I missed on the bid.

Yokomo esc, motor, battery, and charger. If they were ever used, it wasn't much. The brushes and comm aren't even broken in.

I've wanted one of these esc's since I first seen them. They have the look of a vintage model but with a small footprint and modern electronics.

I didn't expect the battery to be nicd. I thought people had stopped making them, in favor of nimh.

The charger also surprised me a little, being 1200mA. Most wall chargers are much smaller.

The motor is a 27T. I assume that the ZERO means 0° of timing, so its probably slow. Whatever, the esc was what I wanted.

The Ali express fairy arrived, stainless cap screws to finish off my Ultima, loads of anodized washers,spacer tubes, and nuts etc. for the rocky, some of the jazrider universal driveshafts for the optima's, really good value. And a savox black edition low profile servo for the zx6.6, normally use strictly futaba, but the Ultima 6.6 had one in it when I bought it so thought id give it a try.
Keep well in covid, take care.

Got a Hitec Shredder micro receiver. The small footprint and translucent grey case should be a good match for the above Yokomo esc.

I think that Bluebird has some servos that might match up as well. I'll see when I get to that point.

Got my 10t2 today.
In much better shape than I feared given the mask of proper photos on eBay.

So I am a HUGE sucker for a grab bag or a blind box and I saw a lot labeled as Kyosho parts that I won for the opening bid. Showed up today and I am pretty happy with the results. Sorting it out most will end up in a parts bin but there were a few treasures.



Optima mid wing mount. Pair of RPM steering block for what looks like an rc10 maybe.

Kyosho SRT transmission case
What looks like Optima universals
Pair of unknown universals, may be MIP
A&L steering block - JRX series?
Half of a few trans cases and what have been identified as maybe Kyosho Laser diffs

Kyosho Pro XRT front and rear arms with universals
Ultima transmission and steering
Some yet unidentified rear arms

Plus a bag of random screws, ends, pins etc...

Boki XX and XXX BK1 gear covers. XX body too.
I've used a Boki XX body before and it was very nice.
The XXX cover is possibly still in a trial phase, but will probably be out soon if not already.
Good stuff!

That's a really nice lathe, Chris.

I received this Kyosho '69 El Camino SS body set.
Not sure what I'll do with this but someone on ebay had them for a very good price so...

Also, the last batch of prints for the Mid project arrived today so I can finish that one soon.
