looks great looking forward to see it on the racetrack

Yes, but old people usually got money to spend. And 40 year old guys are usually nostalgic so Kyosho are on the right track But you are right, they could hurry up and release any car

You never know with Kyosho.. First they do nothing although 50th year anniversary but now we got optimas and turbo scorpions :D Logically they would release a Ultima next year to celebrate Romsey world champs but then again it's Kyosho :mrgreen: But they could release the whole 1980s collection- i w...

I would Love to see a full series of Classic le mans motors 480 gold speed and touque, 240 sb and all the others

Great news :D looking forward to build a vintage racing machine and beat up some hot shots, i really think Kyosho did a good job on their re-release Scorpion so this is going to be interesting and expensive. I am hoping for beltdrive and fine pitch gears because i want a silent car :mrgreen: and a l...

Yes i have thougt about changing servo position but using very small low-profile servo made me think that would be no weightshift forward. I do use small racinggear like savöx servos and LRP brushless esc, for yes keeping weight low. Blue bellcranks for Lazer ordered. The car is heavily understeered...

Ha ha yes Richierich you are correct sir It is a blueprint of your car. And thank you Gomach for helping a computernoob.. :D I have some ideas to develop the plattform after some races, change the chassis and topplate to the lighter mark 1 chassis. New bellcranks and Triumph wishbones for smoother s...

This is awesome! I have always wanted a 4wd rc-10 and awaited a mip legend re-release but thats probably a waiste of time. This car looks great and i'm quite interested of building one for vintageracing

This could be a great vintageracing machine with that new brushless ready gearbox, and of course that ole crappy handling so i can still blame the car..

I would like some advice comcerning suspensionarm strenght. While cornering with the car on a tight track and racing and rubbi'n is tolling on these vintage vehicles. How do you prepare your lazer for tough racing?I have heard of som weak spots in/on the front bulkhead. Solution? Dont hit stuff off ...

Lol welshy40..i wouldnt say the lazer isnt great..but in my opinion the biggest advantage handling wise the lazer has over the mid is suspension. You place the better suspension in the mid you also get the handling. they just have different ways of transmiting power. modifying too much of either ca...

Lazer by far a better car, mind ypu my buddy Rama aka Alcyon may say otherwise. You can still buy chassis and all varients including my design the tub. Also all towers, steering plates, L braces all from fibrelyte and belts are being made again and sold on ebay, so not too hard to race it. Im still...

Optima mid in swb form can be fairly twitchy on low traction surfaces. On carpet though, should be able to tune out any you like. Lazer was always a bit more stable I think in part from longer wheel base and better weight distribution. My preference would be a swb mid on a carpet track. That thing ...
