Yeah no problem at all. I have kept an eye out on the Kyosho rerelease stuff fairly closely. I honestly had no idea on what the pricing was going to be like on the Fantoms. Watching the them randomly pop up over the years for super high prices, I automatically assumed the rerelease was gonna be high...

Determined not to get gouged on eBay, but already getting tired of waiting for Kyosho America to restock... :evil: :evil: I got an email from Kyosho America last week, they said they had a shipment due in by the end of December but it was oversold out already. Their suggestion was to get on A mains...

Looking good Chris! I like the green on green!

2020 Kyosho Fantom re-release...I have eyed up the original since I was a boy! Kyosho’s re-release made it possible to build. It’s equipped with a Lemans 240sb and a Kyosho super speed 1000 esc. I did not do a build thread, but have a number of posts and pictures here... https://www.rc10talk.com/vie...

Attempted to tidy it up a bit with some alternate cable management. Discovered that running everything under the battery however clean it looks, would never work functionally racing as it tweaks the upper plate a bit. Being that the upper plate is an integral part of the “suspension” would likely de...

Gotcha. The high priced reselling with these items gets silly. Perfect example, when I saw KOA selling a few of the Fantom kits for $219 shipped on eBay then a day after they were gone, nib kits popped up for $350-400 lol Free market I guess, but still crazy. I guess I got lucky finding mine on eBay...

Nice colour combo Trey. Looks great. I've had word from Hong Kong, my 480T brushless is in the post. Thanks Chris! I’m liking it as well! Good news about the motor, do you have the 240s controller pre ordered somewhere? Am I right thinking they have had them on eBay some over the last few months? I...

I think it turned out great! What a nice looking car! This and the Plazma are some of my favorite Kyosho's. Thanks a bunch! I agree, maybe it was because my first introduction to hobby rc cars was seeing the local 1/12 cars racing, or I still go back to seeing them in those mid 80s Tower Hobbies bo...

Might be done...not totally sure but it looks pretty cool!!

Picked up some supplies and painted her up. I am really horrible though, I’m 46, been in this hobby since I was 12, painted probably a 100 bodies over the years and I still rush through every one 😂 It looks pretty good though, I buggered up the windshield line a bit but I think I can fix that with a...

just clean the body....spray aerasol window cleaner down, apply decal, rub gently with micro fiber from middle out, apply light heat with hair dryer... all good Thanks for the tips 👍🏻 I’ve tried that in certain shapes before with varied results over the years lol I’ve used a more diluted soap mixtu...

[/quote]Your car looks good. 8) [/quote] Thank you sir! Have you decided on paint yet or were you doing box art? I have always been a bit intimidated by huge decals, and have in my mind I’ll make a bubbly mess trying to apply them. So I am considering a basic paint scheme instead. Just have no ideas...

Here’s a few pictures of my build. 44B8A3B6-4397-4D46-A633-1C4571102BEF.jpeg 70ECB5E1-D36E-477E-B97A-2905B1CA6EFE.jpeg BFF2E39D-E063-4935-A880-0F4EF766DEE2.jpeg 28D3CB58-2890-4E8F-B751-622A0DCC1346.jpeg 7127DE77-4B52-4C20-93A6-690BBB4BE475.jpeg 81E97161-07D2-4718-925B-569BE50FA844.jpeg 65B7FEB7-0882...

Sunday delivery! Exited like I’m 10 on Christmas morning!

Looks really nice!
