Kyosho Mooneyes Street Van......
Just picked this up the other day, super stoked about it!
Lots of cool stuff going on here... more like a 1/9th scale than 1/10th.
I look forward to finishing and laying some paint down.

Re: Kyosho Mooneyes Street Van......
Looks sweet! Was that one of the ones I linked a few weeks ago from eBay? I can't wait to see it with the signature Moon Disks on the wheels.

Re: Kyosho Mooneyes Street Van......

That's the one with the QRC, right? I love it. Like a lunchbox, but even cooler!

Re: Kyosho Mooneyes Street Van......
Here are a few ideas...instead of box-arting it, leave a small shape of Lexan unpainted to look like one of those groovy boogie-van rear side "mood windows", like a teardrop or porthole-shaped window, and get a buddy to airbrush a little mural on the sides & back. I suggest something involving a scantily-clad Amazon woman with a dragon or giant wolf.

Re: Kyosho Mooneyes Street Van......
That is one killer looking rc! If it had been electric powered I probably would have bid on it. I'm trying to limit my colection in some way so it doesn't get out of control...I mean, MORE out of control.

Re: Kyosho Mooneyes Street Van......
That is super cool. 
I've never seen as clear and detailed pics of one before as you took. I had to stop myself from buying the one off of eBay which was difficult.

Re: Kyosho Mooneyes Street Van......
Interesting...the chassis looks like a cross between a SuperTen and a PureTen. Was it used on any other cars?

Re: Kyosho Mooneyes Street Van......
This thing really resembles a 1/8th scale buggy more than anything else. I need to take a pic of it next to a 1/10 buggy to relate the size difference.
I don't know about a mural on the side, but I do like the idea of a teardrop window. Where in the world would I find something like that though? Maybe cut down a small Lexan airplane canopy or something....

Re: Kyosho Mooneyes Street Van......
You wouldn't need anything. The body's already Lexan. So, just mask off a little "boogie-van window" in whatever shape you like, and when you're done painting your body color, remove the mask and paint a silver border around it, and you're done--a groovy mood window on each side panel near the back!Brandon G wrote:This thing really resembles a 1/8th scale buggy more than anything else.

I daresay the box-art for this van is butt-ugly...

Re: Kyosho Mooneyes Street Van......
Well, can't please everybody I guess. I like the box art personally. That is the way I planned on finishing it.
