Porsche 911 Turbo
Porsche 911 Turbo
I happened upon this Kyosho Nitro Porsche, I figure it's a 90's vintage, and not too high end due to things like the lack of camber adjustment.
I see the chassis as a spin-off of the Sand Master ST-2 platform.
I was able to google a parts break down with numbers, seems as though this chassis has been around as far back as 1992 is what I was seeing.
The stadium truck was the most pronounced, I'll keep looking for the actual Porsche, and they also mention a BMW on the same chassis.
I won't run this car, I actually just want to put it back together and keep it on the shelf.
I was able to find a set of toe blocks to replace the missing one on the rear of the suspension, got this through EvilBay from somewhere on the other side of the planet:
Here is a Sand Master for reference:
If any of you all have any extra info, I'm all ears

Re: Porsche 911 Turbo
A lot of the parts are from the Ultima series, from the looks of it...but instead of the alloy frame, they're mounted to a plastic tub chassis.

Yes, sand master is a relative of the outrage and ultima series
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

If you want something more akin to what you have, take a look at this other one... http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=52090&sid=154. Ignore the wheels and tyres, and the very different body... lol...
There's something about a Porsche lexan body in black......
