Devil is in the details and some of these are going to be fixed! Big thanks to Mark aka Limestang! The receiver is now the correct one although the antenna wire on the original seems to black rather than white. Mark made a special case for it and made the recessed posts.



As I have to tear down the car again, I will grab the opportunity to drill the antenna mount hole and wire the servo.


And here is my interpretation of the fully assembled case. Looks spot on!

David, excellent call on the fiber tape. I think that nails it. I was contemplating masking tape, but I believe the fiber tape makes more sense.

Yes Mark, I went from this picture, actually the only one available so far. I just have a feeling Masami used a black plastic cristal cap/plug. Were these included with the receiver originally?

Ok seems i was right on the receiver i used, still managed to geta 285 as well just in case but only item i didnt do was the white tape like youve done.

Still a few details to sort out but here are some final pictures taken at my friend's photo studio:

David I thought you only purchased one buggy from Masaaki Hirosaka:) Your Masami 91 replica came out nice - Very Well Done!!!!!

- Limestang

It never gets old looking it that buggy!

Looking great as usual. Just one question, from every thing I have read and been told, Masami used 1700 SCE Yokomo packs, why did you choose SCR's? As far as I know Kyle Reed was the only top guy in the A main to use an SCR!

Very simply just because that's all I have at hand I'm on a lazy hunt to find the proper 1700 SCE.

Ok that make sense , I do the same thing when I don't have the correct parts. On a side note, he very well may have used SCR's at some point during practice or qualifying.

Look what I found.....

Sweet vid,
I enjoyed the tunes

Glad you guys found and like my slideshow. I also love that guitar theme!

On another note, it seems I finally found the correct shiny Yokomo decal that goes under the wing I'm now just missing the large red KO PROPO one that also goes under the wing and the small black YOKOMO one that goes on the front arm.

All broken links have been fixed here. I also repaired some other threads in the RC10 forum. Will go through the lo my threads as time allows. The trick to add ~original at the end of the image code works really well until Photobucket changes it again... what a pain...

That race was awesome where Kyle Reed took the win from Masami.
