Shock rebuilt and electronics installed. I went with a modern ESC with LiPo cutoff and a 2.4ghz radio. . PXL_20230914_122950197~3.jpg . PXL_20230914_144503392.jpg . PXL_20230914_144234860.jpg .

How about it’s only a box of spares if it ain’t built. Only reason I buy anything nib is to build it myself otherwise what’s the point That's the great thing about this hobby. Some collect sealed kits, some have open box but unbuilt, some build them, some flip them. I suppose the point is whatever ...

First and foremost, a HUGE shoutout and appreciation to Larry Doe for helping me make this dream a reality. Larry was kind enough to bring my car down with him for the IFMAR worlds this past week at Hobby Action Raceway in Chandler, AZ for me to display in BK's memorial pit spot. I'll have this on d...

Fascinating topic... I concur with morriseyO: 1/12 only became popular because it was run on local indoor tracks, and square footage costs money. And like juicedcoupe said: If you want to get modern kids into it, there better be something other than nostalgia to it. Because unless they grew up aroun...

Hello, I wanted to share my current RC10 collection in one photo with them all together. Its taken about two years to acquire these buggies and its on going! I've tried to fully restore each one of them to the best of my ability! My goal is to get each iteration of the RC10 through the years. I will...

The better question is what happened to Kyosho after that? The RC10 won three more Worlds, before the B2 was released.

But if you look past Johnson's dominant performance, #2-4 all had similar times.

Well from what I gathered from another thread of this same topic (can't seem to find it now) contributing factors were: Very limited practice/tuning window with the track Track was very rough (concrete filled potholes) with virtually no maintenance during the event. My thought is it just came down t...

Honestly i have studied it for decades..I think it came down to the "Pure Gold"....perfect power/torque delivery on that track...the 240spa had too much power

Maybe the Kyosho drivers watched the Arnold Schwarzenegger documentary Pumping Iron and took notes on how to treat the other competitors the night before the race.

A couple thoughts... 1. Joel's Ultima was extremely modified from a stock Ultima. 2. Joel is an exceptional driver (ever notice how a lot World champs of that era were on-road specialists?) But the major reason was in essence, tires. The Kyosho team had a superior tire for the event. This would be l...

"The RC10" being used loosely here, at least for '89 and '91 :mrgreen: Well, there wasn't any "loose" usage in 1993. Just saying. The RC10 was still getting it done, several years later. The Ultama, well wasn't. If the Ultama were truly the better car, it would have maintained i...

Some Schumacher tires, NOS RC10B2 rear wheels, JConcepts front wheels, and it's a roller. I just need to determine how to paint up the Boki Viper body. . PXL_20230928_215103036~2.jpg .

Very cool! So Joel doesn't have his winning buggy, Kyosho does? Or was it on loan to Kyosho?

Those Vortex had to be about the coolest looking ESC that never wore an orange case. And the story... very awesome. Getting to talk to Akira and check out JJ's ride... that had to be unexpectedly fun.

Interesting, he used a 40mhz radio setup.
