And then here are the final final pics after applying all the decals. Funny, the instruction manual actually contains a guide on where to place everything to match the box art, BUT they actually miss a couple of them.... so keep a keen eye if you want to match the box art. 20191007_180623.jpg 201910...

I've made some modifications to the gearbox and the Kyosho Scorpion modded diff will now fit and it will still accept the stock diff , just out of curiosity I tried to fit the Scorpion diff in a genuine gearbox and it very nearly fits ! With a little material removed from the bearing support on one ...

Hey Buddy,

Just measured a Ultima MK1 vs an XL, and I can confirm the XL is 13 mm longer.

260mm MK1 vs 273mm XL.

Cheers!

I've ordered from him twice in the past few months. Each time it took about 4 weeks for the package to arrive. Here's some close ups of the bodies, Turbo SE - real deal Kyosho. Regular Mid - Marwan. Pretty difficult to tell them apart. I read about the TBG body being a bit small/short. My marwan bod...

Nice Doug!

I really like this build. Craftsmanship at its best, like always.

I think this should work , I've made two types of mount , a stock type for the shelf only as its too flimsy and a strong version that has an upper deck shown fitted to the car , testing begins now on this new mount and bell cranks , the bell cranks are probably stronger and more rigid than the stock...

Same here -- "Wednesday by the end of the day". It's in Shawnee OK at the moment. Eager to see if trans is pre-assembled and how the critical dimensions for the new parts compare to the vintage ones. I got an early model and the trans wasn't built, neither where the shocks, it didn't come...

XLR8 what did you use for the chrome strip around the door ways ? Looks really nice , the whole truck looks very nice .

Just modern mounts, those exact ones are off the Associated b5m but yokomo and Kyosho have the same bolt pattern.

Inspirational , so tidy and professional looking .

Doug, those extra links are installed as a factory upgrade. when the car was first designed and tested, they noticed quite a bit of flex in the c-hub and front arms.
