The platinum shocks certainly weren't a performance upgrade, the gold shocks are far superior.

The Turbo Rocky suffers from the same disease

Hi, does anyone know the name/product code of the vintage yellow of the rocky 4wd please?

Also don’t suppose anyone has a rocky 4wd or turbo rocky 4wd for sale?

Just got back into RC cars after 30 years away. My boys are into them now and it’s truly wonderful building and dining them again

Thanks

Besides the platinum shocks?

When I restored my Turbo Ultima a billion years ago now, I remember remembering that I had to buy the motor guard separately AND I wore out the final pinion which was replaced with the hard version. So the list that radioactivity posted is correct....

Finally starting my Turbo Inferno build. I have been planning to build an Inferno since shortly after I started building my Turbo Burns. I have a real soft spot for both of these models.

The Inferno is the first 1/8th buggy released by Kyosho under...

:D You actually made a remake of Turbo Inferno - just like me. It looks great but I hope we get photos with the body on - finish painted. By the way - blue looks great.

With all that carbon you should maybe call your car Turbo Inferno professional?

These are new waters for me. This is the first Kyosho I have ever owned. However, it is my ultimate RC dream build. When I was about 12 years old, I would drool over the Turbo Burns in the 1991/1992 Tower Hobbies Catalog. I would daydream about...

*Edit - I just realized that I received 2 of the rear mounts, but the pictures below show 2 of the front mounts are needed if you want to run this style of dual brakes. Maybe it was an oversight. I'm not planning on making any changes anyway. *...

Do you know of any shocks that would be a direct replacement. I have an assault that I'm slowly rebuilding. The shock collars are brittle and broken, so I ordered some from Team CRP, turns out they are 8mm shock collars and the stock are 10mm . My...

I will do the wheels, good idea. They don't look like they have ever been run so will polish up very nice.

Is there anyone making tires that fit these wheels these days? Out of curiosity. I will likely run RB5 carriers in front and 2.2 and RB5 rear...

Both Marwan and TBG have the turbo ultima shell I believe, perhaps Kamtec too.
They could be listed as ultimaII (2) or ultima pro; but that's all the same

Got some bodies a turbo ultima...
