- AYK Boxer -

More seriously, I really enjoy restoring much more than building from new parts, it's sooooo releaving when you feel like you have saved an old buggy, especially when it's a rare one...

You're not the only one that thinks that way brother.

That's also releaving

OK wise guy, just kidding . Any ideas on removing epoxy on carbon/graphite?

[Mr. ED]

Thanks for the linky Ed, I did not see any NIB Sidewinder though...

Hey david, there were 6 pages in the result, the sidewinder is on page 5

(A little off topic) Thanks for that, after following that link I now desperately need a Mugen K2X Spirit and SR-Tempest and they aren't going to be cheap

The Boxer is now temporarily on wheels again. Also reinstalled the whip antenna mount, steering servo and Kyosho motor. Now waiting for a huge lot of NIP AYK parts from Darryn to finish it

Pics with body will come soon, stay tuned guys

Now let's watch at some dressed pictures

Acetone!

Thats a new build David, you can't fool me

[RETRO R/C]

Great work David - Another AYK brought back from the dead!

I will hopefully be able to start re-producing bodies next year for alot of these cars - damn mate - that Boxer needs a new body now....when you get the stuff I am sending you - it will be absolutely perfect - like it was just built from the box ....just need that body!

Again - great work mate.

Cheers

Darryn Johnson

Did you get my email Darryn?

Thanks for the kind comments guys, I really appreciate

[RETRO R/C]

I got your email - something is not right though

Damn it looks good mate.

Cheers

What could it possibly need, is there some internal part that couldn't be cleaned to perfection?

Seriously, that looks beautiful! Nice job! <-- for the bling.

[Mr. ED]

late, but now the contrast will make yours look even better:
sold in Japan for less than 30euro last weekend

[Asso_man!]

WOW that's a wreck mate! Looks like the rear mount has been reversed to fit in a box to be shipped, I don't see any other explanation. Anyway, chassis is bent, front parts are missing and everything looks a bit rusty

[AYKBOBCAT]

WOW! I was away for a few weeks and look what happen! Man you make me miss my cars back home in Canada. I have a few AYKs too but none here in the Netherlands... Next time I go home I'll spend some time with them too

Darryn, did I read you correctly? You are going to make repros of AYK bodies? It's really time someone do this. I bough a Bobcat body from Japan a few year back and I paid $80 for it. I don't even dare painting it.... So even less running it. So do you plan to sell those or just make them for you?

Great job on the car Asso_man I'm 100% with Darryn this is one of the best brand to get. The Radiant is awesome too... chain driven 4wd. All gold anodized like one of our favorite one on this forum.... Pro Radiant is very cool too!

Cheers!!
