1997 Nitro Kyosho Quad Rider- 'Racer Eddie!'

Old Racer Eddie finally gets to have a bonk around the block.
I scored him about 8 months ago right here in Central Oregon in the used and new hobby shop in La Pine- ARK Miniatures. 350 bucks.
These came as unassembled kits. Eddie was assembled and ready to rip but I had to paint him up to take him to the party. The little .12 engine is extremely easy to start and very stable. I haven't turned a screw on this little engine at all since picking him up.
Eddie is getting up there in years so I won't run him too hard.
I would be interested in finding another old nitro model like this with these small engines. I'm amazed at how the .12 engine just stays running and doesn't quit!😀

Why the music???😳😳😳😳

[@stephenbartholomew-h5h]

Could have been a good vid but the music was to LOUD

[@jaimemontaner3801]

I couldn’t finish watching this video just because of that loud boring music🤦🏻‍♂️

[@bennovak4182]

Same, although content was cool AF THE MUSIC KILLED IT. Couldn't finish it.

[@BobPavlow]

I barely got a minute into the video and had to stop watching. I really wanted to see what this was all about cause it looks so cool. But I couldn’t even hear your voice over that loud background music. 🙁

[@randypark1798]

Could not hear him talking,

[@jz64]

[@Brandon-cd4ts]

[@brwed]

[@rless69rc]

Thanks Tony!

[@guitarxsuperstar]

Dude you didn't even rip it full speed. so disappointing to watch this.....

[@highdesertaggrorc7801]

I'm glad you're disappointed. I'll run my model how I see fit and have fun just like I did here.

Get rid of the music so ppl can here you

[@highdesertaggrorc7801]

It doesn't matter, I'm not saying much anyways man. It's about Eddie taking a run

[@chriswagner6310]

Happy New Years bro. That quad is awesome bro

[@johnclemans7802]

I still have one of these , needs a little work, new tires. I bought an MIP tuned pipe for it. Gives it a real cool sound. I hope to source some parts for it. Thanks for sharing.

[@highdesertaggrorc7801]

A tuned pipe on the .12 would be out of sight!😁

[@johnclemans7802]

@@highdesertaggrorc7801 It sounds great and increase in power. I put an OS .15 in it. Maybe source one from e-bay. It's worth the $$.

[@cranklabexplosion-labcentr8245]

This is 🔥🔥🔥! Makes me wonder why no manufacturer makes quads these days.

[@highdesertaggrorc7801]

A new version of something like this would be killer! It's just too fragile to really rip it.

[@FrankBradford-v2b]

I promise I done seen all kind of Hobby grade but not this one. With a gas engine four wheeler

[@5thscaleaddict]

wouldnt give it a second look if it was e-word, nitro makes it awesome !💥💥🤘

[@highdesertaggrorc7801]

Yes sir, the little.12 engine is fun times all day! Very stable and easy to run

[@mikesrcgarage]

That's definitely one of the coolest nitro RC's ever! Awesome! It's mini me Craig on his Quadzilla! 👍🏼 Happy New Year bro!

[@highdesertaggrorc7801]

Heck yeah Mike! You nailed it!🤣except I haven't even ripped the Zilla yet....only started it, then tucked it away in the storage unit. Want to go easy on that one....maybe a complete resto job.

[@garywynegarsvikingrc843]

Awesome I need one in my life!

[@NickXabias]

wow ! i didn't even know Kyosho had a quad 🤔 One more RC added to my wish list😅😂 Nice video but the music was too loud, i think there's no need for music in such videos.😀

[@highdesertaggrorc7801]

Thanks for watching my video, I appreciate all feedback as well. It looks like you have some great rc cars in your collection!

[@robstem6262]

ditch the music & upload this again..

[@RCgarageTexas]

Awesome man thank you for letting it out to breathe

[@CrazyDad226]

Nice wooo so rare . Love my nitros . Great video woooo💯👊🏻

[@highdesertaggrorc7801]

Thanks Crazy Dad nitro, It's an honor to have you stop through. I have spent a lot of time listening to your vids and digging the enthusiasm. Keep up the great work over there! -Craig😀

[@mikeh.748]

Little Eddie is pretty cool for sure. Nice little score.

[@highdesertaggrorc7801]

Thanks, these old nitro models are really fun. I hope to find another one to have fun with. not sure yet what I’m looking for next…

[@ifly65]

As a musician this drives even me crazy. Cool find! Runs great.

[@GookBoy7682]

Would have gave a thumbs up but can't hear nothing but that lame music

[@VictoriaJones-gy8es]

Couldnt watch with that racket in the background

[@Wreckedekcoupe]

Quad is so rad

[@jonminson5770]

Can't really hear what you're saying.

[@highdesertaggrorc7801]
