Well Gents, Covid has finally locked New Zealand back down again, more specifically my Daughters school so i have a 14 day lockdown stretching out at home. Excuse to get the Laser under way again. Thanks for the advice about my shocks etc, and you are right its too straight to pull apart and replace...

Foung a hobby king turnigy super shorty, only 2600 mAh but hey the original ran 1200mAh sc cells, will fit nicely on the chassis

Turnigy nano-tech Ultimate 2600mah 2S2P 90C Hardcase Lipo Super Shorty Pack (ROAR and BRCA Approved)

Hi, do you have any early Kyosho parts or turnbuckles available please?
Kind Regards
Craig

Has anyone tried running a brushess 3.7v settup likr the newer 1:12 carpet pan cars?
Suspect it may be enough for the old transmission on the rocky, and the single saddle fits awesome on the chassis, if i repacked the kyosho case.

 found these factory SCR saddle packs, pretty rare now. I think i got them with my mates optima mid TOMS conversion kit way back in the 80's They had yellow sce versions come out later as well but ive never seen one in person. Cells are long gone internally, so will either repack with NiMh or prefer...

Thsnk you so much for that, exactly what i was struggling to calculate for my rocky project.
Much appreciated

Dug it out, but its pretty rough, guess i could run it on my novak T4

I have got one here but iys in pretty sorry condition, ive been reading the posts about rere decals etc, but my can anodizing is quite faded

Other side, not really happywith the shocks yet

Another angle

Getting closer, running a Fantom 14 x2 brushed because i had it lying around. Replaced the last few bushes with bearings. Fitted NOS arms, Glass chassis and shock tower, excuse the belt pulleys, just rough trial ones until i find the best alignment, and where to mount a tensioner, think ill run a sh...

I realise purists may not like the self tapping cap screws but ghe old car was too rough for a shelf queen, going to have some fun instead.
Managed to save the M2 x4 for the other suspension shafts on the front.
Be nice to have a new bumper to fit but shipping takes weeks, even Airmail

The manual asks for M2 X4mm screw to hold the suspension pin home, mine were stripped /missing, so i dremmel slot the shaft lightly andvused a M3 X 4mm titanium cap screw, sits down nice on the mouldings now too

Same bloke also did a dodgy repair on the bathtub chassis and used a bit of galv plate to patch it up. What do you expect for a 30 yr old car i guess. Problem is he also cut outvthe front gearbox cover too. I think its part number is RK-04? If anyone has one to sell pleaee PM me, even a Turbo Rocky ...
