Looks like its on its way! I wondering what the "custom" parts will be. Looks like they did a good job milling the top brace. The arms might be handmade too. I love quality owner modified parts!

It looks like it has rear tires in front too. :?: I do have a set of front white rims NIP. Just have to find some tires that will go with the rears. 8)

The c-hub carries are from the optima series because you can see the hole for the shock mount. The knuclkes are probably yokomos. Kyosho never made a plastic version.

I'm more interested in the arms. I have a similar set, but mine has a slot in the middle that goes all the way through...while these only go part way. That top deck also looks pretty neat. Definately a great find at a great price!!

Are you sure Kyosho never made plastic carriers? I know I've got a few pairs at home not being used because they're really fragile. Could they somehow be Yokomo parts? They're identical to the cast aluminum parts.....?

Oooops...my bad. I meant to say that at the time the optima was out, kyosho didn't offer that part in plastic. They only has the cast aluminum.
