Good thing we have Marwan RC for those much needed tires. Wish kyosho would not do this and leave the decision to the end user. I appreciate both companies rereleases but tamiya gets my vote overall.

I get your point in a way, but we race modern cars, and we build these to run lightly and enjoy on the shelf. Those tires should be an option to buy if u are gonna race, not be in the kit. I mean, now if they rerelease the turbo ultima, there really is no point, its all in this car, with those huge ...

Congrats! One cool looking Jrx2!

Here is my opinion of this re released car after building it. It was my 1st car i raced in 1987 and i am not a fan if this one. The tires are terribly small, nothing like original. Rear shocks work awsome with my mod but do not fit look of original at all, way too tall. HATE shock towers. Rear motor...

Here is what i did to red shocks, works awsome, no leaks, no air, simple to bleed too. Use a dremel and file round around the threaded aluminum piece where tye teflon seal used to go. Put an oring in the new groove created, finger tighten and enjoy! These are now one of my favorite shocks, i used to...

I came up with a really nice deal to make these red kyosho shocks very user friendly to assemble and no leaking. Be a few days to confirm and i will post pics.

Lol, thumbs last post was worth a revive!

I am doing one currently, shock gaskets are leaking! Need help please?

After watching my brother buy and restore basically every lemans motor and test them back to back to back in his monster beetle i have changed my opinion on top 3. The NEW HOLY GRAIL motor without a doubt is the 360 gold. So my new list in order is: 360 gold, 480 gold, 240sb.

Winner_Evo, this is Dereks brother, David, i dont post too much. i dig that u dig this thread more than most. Whats your top 3 lemans motors in order? GO----------------->

Derek tested the tall gear today and new tires. It was epic to watch. Had to be doing 50 plus mph. Gear was so tall the slipper couldnt go 1 to 1 until about 75% speed was achieved. Sounded like a 2 speed almost. Unreal performance. Cool old truck for sure!

I too really dig this nice blast from the past. Great build thread!

I wish i voted for Basher67.
