More Kyosho goodness.

Mystery box has arrived!
My wife wouldn't tell me what she bought and here's what I got.

Got this in the mail.

Not too sure of the this one.
1987, 1/12th scale and FWD

Wow I was considering that one too but couldn’t find anything on it. What does the drive system look like?

To start with it is really in pretty nice condition. So far no real signs of wear, breakage or corrosion. It utilizes several AA batteries.

Well I did take apart the front "diff" as I was curious as well. Solid front differential not independent front suspension.
First the hard body needed to be removed. Then the upper cover for the front diff was somewhat accessible. I was just looking for wear or breakage and found none.
I really need to take some pics when apart.
Interestingly it may have some sort of ESC/receiver. There is no mechanical speed control.
I need to invest in a lot of AA batteries
A couple of belly pics.

Luckily the box lid comes with full instructions

I love the oddball buggies and even though it’s toy grade it has a killer stance. Love it.

It's gotta have a killer stance, it's a frickin' WOLFHUNTER!!!

New ball studs.

Thanks to Rob Cutman at Custom Works for getting these to me so quickly.


... and they appear to be well made.

Awesome!

Got this gem a little while back Still haven't been able to dig in deep, but I will soon enough...

Got this jewel today A true XX4 version, not the Street Weapon one...

First day in the office for a number of months yesterday, so got a chance finally to pick up all the deliveries that had arrived there recently.....
Firstly, an eclectic bunch of stuff:
- Original RC10 decals
- HPI Flux Q-Base brushless ESC
- Hobbywing V10 21.5T brushless motor
- Full 12-LED light system, with 'Tamiya' red and blue star branding (not a Tamiya product)
- Set of wheels and tyres from a Tamiya TT01E racing truck
- Yokomo buggy on-road foam wheel set with usable foams
- Yokomo touring wheel and tyre set (pin-drive)
- New set of purple alloy 5-spoke wheels, with tyres to match
- Pair of rally tyres on awful wheels, glued, sadly Also got this lot of body detail parts, including wings, exhausts, an intercooler, a lot of stuff that seems to come from the Tamiya 240Z body kit (spotlight pods, light buckets, bumpers), door mirrors and windscreen wipers, a bunch of wheel hexes (alloy and plastic), and other miscellaneous fitting bits. Not sure where the driveshafts are designed for: Still hate going back to the office, though.... especially after 9 months of working from home!
