madman, I had seen 2 very much complete that went for around $100, very builtroppf simple design and every thing works in perfect harmony to each other, and very functional. I like the simple and unique design, I'd take this over the tamiya hilux or blazer as preference. I am just trying to add some...

I don't believe that shock technology is anything less compared to what it was back in the days, The AE shocks were built very well, smooth action, kyosho golds too, so were the CBs and DELTAa these re re optima shocks should be no less, The only problem would be the jumps as Coelacnth says, you nee...

PLEASE CHECK OUT THE BEETLE ALBUM AGAIN, i added in a few new photos of cb 89 like shocks - 1886s, short red anodized shocks to the buggy as upgrades and TMS dually front wheels, super nice!

again very nice beetle, love the milky white very much, the small details looks cool, cosmtize it to your liking, My color will be olive drab, it will be mate finish of course, for the vintage beetle it will be britishi racing dark green and clear for that gloss finish. uploading 100+ pics for the b...

Hey madman, actually the suspension is normal shocks with coil overs, ha ha ha, it works so well, I have blue You-G shocks on mine with internal springs inside the shock body, its still a work in progress, suspension sure works fine on it, man that paint job is SUPER 8) , i love it cause its simple ...

oh yeah, since I talked so much on the kyosho datsun/chevy (datsun was nitro, whereas chevy was 2 speed electric, thats the only difference), here is a youtube vid to prove it!

Thanks Madman :mrgreen: , When I build a buggy or truck, it is never stock, there are so many elements that you don't like or can improve on, I have a taste for fine vintage scale looking parts, whatever works, I borrow parts from tamiya, AYK, yokomo, other kyosho parts, hah, you have a ride that is...

sure is a beauty, too lazy to post pics here but here is my flickr link to my stuff https://www.flickr.com/photos/110872915@N05/page2 Please browse through, I have added carbon fiber parts that I traced, cut and sanded for finish, a lot of little improvements, installed rare thorp ball diff, and lat...

The first time I laid eyes on the kyosho beetle, I fell in love, I don't have a scorp or tomahawk, find the design of the body to refined and designed purely for speed and performance whereas the beetle is all beauty, that round body with the round headlights, just gorgeous, the tires compliment the...

could you post pics again, please

Also the shock has plastic top sleeves that are actually rounded, a ball-joint setup, how cool!!! LOVE IT, now they can be articulated with ease!

banazi has the red shocks in stock, pretty reasonable prices, they are even selling the shock body and bottom cap as well, wow, only banzai can break it up like that and sell them for so cheap! http://banzaihobby.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&keyword=kyosho%20optima&search_i...

I here you Chris, its hard work indeed, especially when your parts are all freaking 1/10 scale, that makes them so small, and yet you have managed to machine such fine details, truly amazing work, and yet your prices are so reasonable, I am glad to be on the receiving end, when you had finished off ...

Banzai is always good with prices, I am getting those shocks no matter what, but certainly not paying $80! In a few months it will surely drop but banzai will always be cheaper, buying more stuff will offset the high shipping cost. These shocks like I said look like the CBs, many may not know but th...

Come on guys oder more! :mrgreen: I am sure all have ordered a set, many have advertised on Facebook and other sites, superb work, once again, Chris(simply giving praise where its diserving, I am sure others agree) :D I know that CHris will start getting emails like crazy after others have hopped up...
