Just beautiful Lars, you really did a superb job, all that editing must have taken a long time :shock: There are a lot of bits I LOVE about the new re-release. I thought I would get the trailing arms, but looks like they are a tad thicker and very much rounded, compared to the original, they are thi...

Other than that and the bleed screws in the caps, they're pretty normal. But those features were quite unusual back in those days. :) Interesting, thanks :) I've always wondered who was the first manufacturer to do threaded shocks... In 8th scale the earlier I found was Garbo, the Gepard already ha...

hmm, very tempting

BLOODYHELL, its got a caged like bumper!!! I so want that

Its gonna look aggressive with that and a pair of spot/fog lights upfront

Are they going to do a 7-ribbed front tires? That would be realistic and cool. Wish they could up the body a little, add more details to it, possibly make it from hard plastic like tamiya. For performance and racing, a laxen works just fine though.

Oh, so there were no 2 versions, ha ha ha, that's what I thought initially. Well MIP certainly did a good job at making these, they are really compact in nature, I like the simple rounds of the design. I have a stealth ball diff as well, well used, I will assemble that and keep as spare. I also have...

OH, YES, that is where I first saw the diff, from your post and I followed the other links from it, Yes, I have the same one as yours except that the gearbox is white, I guess they either changed to white from black or vis-vesa OR made it side by side for preference from the buyer. The thing is thes...

I have the same thing, I mean the white nylon casing from MIP, but it is fashioned to fit the RC10 buggy. The ball diff inside is narrower and is aluminum, at first I thought it was full metal. But it looks like it is in very good condition, I have 2 brass gears. I think it is great you have a nylon...

NOW THATS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT!!!!! 8) The beetle was the most rarest cause it wasn't so popular, and that's generated a lot of demand for it, it looks unique and cute to some extent . Thumps up to kyosho, now surely you can expect them to release a handful of iconic buggies including the ultima,...

GOLD ANODIZING MATCHES WELL WITH THE YELLOW TUB!

JUST PERFECT, Good enough to be box art! Don't let kyosho know

thanks a lot guys, I got them new so I wanted to show or provide 'documentation' of how a sealed kyosho special CB 88s look like in its original box with hardware and instruction. I will post a separate thread on the beetle, haven't gotten a chance to put description to the pics yet, I have to take ...

Keep them coming, I don't have time to see all right now but wait till I get home form work, I will dig into the links :D http://www.tamiyaclub.com/article.asp?id=188 has infor on both Tamiya SRB and kyosho scorpion ball diff (drool) and machined caster lock. Can you make parts better than these, wow

THANKS! Will get details from them, from where I stand, I guess I will end up paying around $60 in total if I get the class 1 ano, which one did you do?
