That's a Kyosho?? Wow...I bet Kyosho would be embarrassed to admit it, if it were!

My guess is a Kyosho Outlaw Raider.

The chassis itself goes back to the Raider, although the truck shocks would seem to indicate maybe Outlaw Raider truck. However, that front body mount is wrong....
Not a bad little chassis. Not great, but not too bad. Very little love in the second-hand market in my opinion, though....

If it was my favourite, Jason, then you'd have copied me by now, and bought up a bunch of them....J.M. wrote:I know this chassis, it's ALEX's all time favourite

That is one messed up Raider. Don't judge them by that example.

They were a good entry level buggy back in the day and they were available at a good price too.
I used to work part time for my LHS back while I was in school and around xmas time these things used to sell like 'hot-cakes' (so did the Marui Big Bear too). There is little that can go wrong with them so you could sell them, kids could beat them up and you'd rarely see one back in the shop for repair.
Not really a great race car though but Im sure someone here could set one up and get it around the track respectably. Probably needs better dampers (Option House-'Golds') and a better set of tyres too.
Personaly, Im curious to know if the mid-motor makes for a better handling car within this design.
