AYK Pro Radiant Guru's

[scootmike]

Few pics of a Pro Radiant I picked up on the bay, should be here next week.
Talked myself out of buying one a few times, finally succumbed to it.
No idea what it is missing or what it will need, looks pretty complete, I think.

You might missing time...
Otherwise it's a nice car Mike

Looks complete. Associated shocks on rear not sure on front.

I hear ya Lars! Some things cannot be passed up.
I thought the rear shocks were not original, didn't know if the fronts were.
Thanks

If the front are black anodized with top cap and bottom cap then they are ayk shocks. Nice and smooth. I like them a lot.

I've been scouring the internet looking at pics, from what Ii can see they look real close to stock shocks.
I bet the fun will be finding the rears, will worry about it when it gets here.

Anybody know the differences between the Pro Radiant and Boost?
I know the body, tires, and wheel color is different, not sure if anything else is different.
Seems to be contradictory information out on the www.
Was the saddle pack plate an aftermarket option for both, did it come on any of them?
Any suggestions on where to look for a rear shock set?
Thanks for any help!
Mike

I always thought the Boost was the Ayk version, and the Radiant was the Race Prep...like the yokomo 870c and Associated YZ10. Minor changes like tires for the market but essentially the same. I have been wrong before tho, although it was just once!

I have a few manuals if you need one.

Thanks guys!
Just saved the manual, jwscab sent me pics of the manual which I could have used, the scan is much clearer, don't know how I missed finding it.
Bought a set of shocks, need to go thru some boxes and see if I have a set of Boost tires, I know I have Pro Radiant tires, the original rears are cracked.I will have to strip the wheels, the plating is scratched down to the plastic. Just need to figure out which body and decals to use and find a period motor.

Bob Stormer still has Boost wheels at a Price!!
