More goodies I committed to these before I won the runner. These parts were FREE, just had to pay 5 bucks for shipping. Looks like this buggy will have an upgraded steering assembly, a new transmission and some decent rear spike tires for those green wheels.

I can wait to get this one together...it is turning out to be more exciting than I thought. I thought this was just going to be a project to revive this Raider and now it's going to have a bunch of hopups, and for cheep too.

Now all I need is a free body, anyone got one they want to donate

I made a little progress on the Raider today. I got some purple hardware, my rims were in, I got a green antenna tube, I made a aluminum plate for the new esc location...along with a different esc (Hammer Pro, not the 410-M5) and I got some nice gold Kyosho shocks, and front spike tires from my buddy Rod. Once that buggy and spare parts I got on line I can get a lot further.

making some progress today

I made a couple more plates, one for the gear cover and one to allow the receiver to be mounted lower on the chassis. Here is where it is supposed to be mounted...way up high I got my spare runner in the mail today, better than christmas...cause you pick out the gifts yourself
gotta love those brown boxes parts from this one will go to my Raider. I didn't realize that these were made both in Japan and Korea looks like I got a lot of cleaning to do first Just minutes later and the drill set to reverse on high speed and whala Now to separate out the parts that I need...I still cant believe I got all of this for $12. AND the free hopups are still on the way I don't have time to post anymore right now, the parts still need to be cleaned, along with the house and the wife will be home from work soon...I better get busy.
I'm going to be busier than a cat burring poo.

stay tuned for more soon, well maybe Monday

got the parts cleaned up and put on, just got to wait on rear tires and thanks to Prince Steve they are on their way next step is to order a body. I'm going away for work again soon, so there is no sense in ordering it right away. It's going to have to wait a couple more weeks for that.

It looks great with such progress. I am honored I could help. Thank you and all the mbrs that either ask or refer people to me from this site because I get to see the parts I sell used. It makes me really happy.

loving them alloy shock collars for the gold shocks. got any extra's you wanna sell?

I know, they are sweet! I seen them on RC10s, but never on the Kyoshos. I got one spare one, oddly enough the spare parts runner came with 2 on one shock because the set screw was stripped on one of them. I got it out and I'm going to keep it for a backup.

nice score. i always see them for the red kyosho shocks but i can never find them for the golds. i managed to get a set of HG ones for rc10 shocks but installed them on some gold shocks of mine but the set screw does not catch properly so they just act as nice looking spacers at the moment. you should dye a set of proline rears green and they still sorta match the fronts and wont be 1.5/6 rims

I know
I just realized that I had a green Ultima set (Front & Rear ) if you really didnt want the orange green rim combo you have going.
Let me know.

OMG those are soooo tempting . I might change my mind after I get the body done next month. Let me know if you sell them in the mean time.

Got my free parts today, which means I got NIP transmission gears from pinion to diff. I got them all greased up and are now outfitted with bearings and not bushings

Out with the old and in with the new...I also am throwing in a Team Stock Phantom, just because it's green. I will likely swap it out because it's a 27t motor with 18t pinion...not sure what the final gear ratio is with this thing.
I like the looks of motor, well see how it performs It also means I got a beefier steering setup

the original wimpy one the new linkage looks like a found a good set on road tires after all of this too

got the body fitted today...wont be long before I get her painted.

I got rid of the blue washers and stuck to green and purple ones

and got the rear tires on those green rims. Sorry prince steve, I got your rear tires which are nice, but they are too narrow next up is a black and green paint scheme and for a little extra detail, I got purple brush springs for the motor on the way.

some copper pinstripes or text would work well with the green and black and gold shocks

Got the painting done ...no pin stripe, sorry. The decal sheet came with a lot of decals, adding pin stripping would be too much I think. I put some black AE rear springs on to get the dog bones a bit more horizontal Another one down, I got to run it a bit before I shelf it

WOW thats a raider ????? lol looks awesome ,nice paint job , wish i could paint. all my body's are clear lol. I never thought a raider could look so good .
nice touches!!!
