Current status with new bumper and motor guard.

The Triumph is nearly done! I was able to find the needed bumper and motor guard a few months ago. Both were new... and not cheap!!! The only thing needed to get this back to mint is the bottom tranny cover. I see a few floating around, but they're expensive for what they are. Plus, I like being abl...

I'm always curious to see if people prefer to display their cars as they were sold, or if they prefer to display their cars with 'hop up' parts available at the time the car was being sold.

Either way, looks like you got a great car!

Looks clean, great find! Are you going to keep the carbon parts and after market steering, or return it all to stock before displaying on the shelf?

The 240S, 480S, and 480T have serious bling factor and would be great for the shelfer. But, I haven't been able to confirm if they were still being produced in the early 90's. Can anyone confirm?

I'm looking for a period-correct Kyosho motor to add to my Kyosho Triumph, and have been looking at the Le Mans and Mega motors. Does anyone have details on the Le Mans motors that were available for off road in 1992 / 93? The 480s and 480t come to mind, but I recall those being advertised primarily...

Can't wait to see another TRX1 brought back to life! I'll be looking for one of these in the near future after the current project is complete (Kyosho Triumph). Keep the pictures coming!

What are the group thoughts about the Tamiya Bruiser. It didn't drive any serious trends and was too expensive to drive large sales numbers, but it did push the envelope with what could be done with scale realism in RC at the time. Not sure it qualifies as "one of the most important" cars ...

Wanted to add additional detail to this string... Features inherited by the 'XX' were originally found on the Losi prototypes raced in the '91 Worlds. Those protos closely resembled the Pro SE, but they had adjustable front rake, Hydradrive, and the front bearings were carried in the spindles instea...

I'm not sure where mine came from. I picked it up on our favorite on line shopping network last winter, but it didn't come with a box or manual so I'm not sure when it was originally produced or where it was sold (Asia, US, etc). Blue Groove body arrived a few days ago, and repro decals are in the m...

RC10, meets TRX3...

Yes, this hobby allows us all to be as creative as we wish. I love these models!!!

They are the stock towers. I polished them with some Mothers to remove the light scuffs. The polish brought out the natural tone of the material. I'm not sure what material Kyosho used on the Triumph and Lazer ZXR towers, but it appears to be a fiber or carbon reinforced material. They match the col...

I'd love to go full restoration, but am having a very hard time finding a new bumper and rear motor guard. Nearly everything else is new.

It's going to be box art, which is why I added the red spacers to the front end instead of the black.
