The bearings you added were 5x8x2.5? Seems small, that's why I ask. Haven't received my Lazer in the mail yet. Thanks!

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

@@MrSneakyGunz yes the same size in the steering and diff cups.

Glad your giving the cobalt green a rest, best paint scheme so far, on this body between this and dirt masters on other channels, using your colors; nice quality economy fun looking buggy

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Thank you 🙏🏻 it did turn out nice

[@JustforFun-xh6ld]

That paint job is bang on the money IMO 👍🏻 I wasn’t sure about the wheels when I first saw these teased but suit your theme perfectly. Thanks for the tip on the couple of bushings they slipped in there as no ones mentioned that before. As with the motor connections touching the body, I had the same issue with a Brushless on a Tamiya Buggyra Fat Fox (on a TT02R) tilting the motor over sorted it, it might be worth just sticking a scrap piece of Lexan inside the body as well at the contact points just so nothing rubs through. Great info and having built a Javelin & Turbo Scorpion in the past Kyosho quality out the box as you mention is definitely a step up (and handling) from Tamiya. I do still enjoy Tamiya’s as well though nonetheless 😁 Looking forward to the running vid.

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Thanks for watching 😎

[@jeremymiller2340]

Absolutely brilliant paint job brother

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@Chunky246]

Love the old school Kyosho driver figure. Proper 80's. Buggy looks ace.

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Yeah I figured I would paint it up and put it in the kit. Nice to See Kyosho included it

[@KaiCityRC]

Love the color scheme on your Dirt Master. 👍 You're right about the spur/pinion cover - it's completely useless when running on loose dirt. My spur is already pretty chewed up from regular use on a dirt track. 😅 Nevertheless it's a great buggy and a real performer for the price. EDIT to add: I put some tape on the underside of the chassis to stop dirt entering through the spur cutout, but it probably made it worse. Dirt entering from above stuck to the tape and subsequently appeared to get picked up by the spur. You need to make sure there is nothing for the dirt/grit to stick to.

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

I was thinking that if I covered it, would it make it worse! I feel the spur cover and hole underneath it’s really odd and a given for dirt to get in!

[@AddamsPlayground]

I love the paint job you did one it, it turned out very nice. They look a little plain on the box art so jazzing it up some with a cool paint job helps the looks of it. I am excited to get one when they land here in the US. I am sure it will run very well, all the Kyosho buggies do well! Great job on the build Adam!

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Thank you 🤩 I was expecting so much hate on this body and so far it’s all positive news!

[@AddamsPlayground]

@@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA it looks great! A little bit of classic cool with the neonish color and the fades. Perfect for the buggy!

[@coygtrc]

Great build. I would advise against the tape under as the dirt will be trapped (depending where you run of course). It's the only area where the TT02B is better. Maybe acquire 1-2 spurs in advance. I'm not sold on the body, in term of shape, but your paint scheme is awesome 😮🤩. As for upgrade, maybe the front (and rear) universal drive shafts. I drove the ZX5 RTR, it's about the same and it's a very smooth car (but, in my opinion, with a much nicer body shape 😊). I would not bet as there are many parameters, but it should even eat a TT02BR for breakfast, especially thanks to the slipper clutch 😉 I may be wrong of course 😂 Can't wait for the run video 🌞🤝

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

I was thinking the same about the tape, and yeah I have some very modified TT02’s and this would eat it up in kit form

[@rcicons4915]

Great build Adam. The ZX5 platform is amazing. You will see when you stretch its legs.

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Definitely looking forward to taking it down the park once we get some decent weather.

[@xw1978]

Nice. Please share your run video when it's ready.... curious if the exposed spur gear will pick up dirt from below.

[@doctorhelicopter]

That thing's amazing. Very nice 🎉

Thank you 🤩

Excellent paint job! Maybe make a tutorial for a future video? :D

[@steveblackbird]

Huge fan of the paint scheme you went with. Looks like it'll perform quite well. I also love the driver figure...proper old school. Nice work!

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Thank you 🙏🏻

cant wait to get mine! looks ace!

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

It’s a nice kit. Add the bearings I suggested and you have a sweet kit.

[@keithangstadt4950]

Love the paint job! I often feel the fade jobs are easier to do than masking out lines. I love the aesthetic of the Kyosho kits but I think they are quite overpriced for what they are.

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Thank you 🙏🏻 Yes definitely expensive but they are often higher quality and come standard with parts that you would need to spend $$ on. I never was I to Kyosho due to the price point when I was younger.

[@benjaminfrohns]

Good job on the build. I like the color very much.

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Thank you 🙏🏻 it was literally a quick 10 minute job! 3 colours on with limited dry time between.

[@MaxIQ77]

Just getting in to RC and I've done a Hornet & Hotshot2. I was thinking of having a go at an optima mid next, but this kinda looks pretty cool too 😎

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Both this and the Mid would be a nice step up from the Tamiya build. Once you build a Kyosho you will appreciate the quality and why they are more expensive.

[@MaxIQ77]

​@@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA I might give them both a go 👍

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

@@MaxIQ77 definitely 💯 agree

[@mazmorbid5840]

@@MaxIQ77 You have to get an Optima MID ! I have 4 rere's and a few originals from the 80's my favourite vintage buggy of all time.

[@owenbuttle3304]

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Perfectly fine, glad you like it! I was expecting a lot of hate! But then again I think boxart is often boring if everyone does the same car.

No, unfortunately I can’t justify the Dirtmaster when I have the fully optioned Genova.

[@londonpirates]

Good looking buggy! The paint scheme looks great. Interested to know how you did the black paint splats on the front?

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Thank you. Spray paint onto a paddle pop stick or spoon end, then left excess drip off. The literally flick in the direction you want the paint!

[@londonpirates]

@@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA Brilliant thanks!

[@peteredwards7114]

Hi Adam, I’m interested in the shelving system you have behind you. Is that a gyprock wall or concrete? I would like to do something like that on my wall at home but I’m concerned that the gyprock won’t hold the weight. Also great to see you producing some more content again, you have been missed. 😎 ps. I really love the blended paint job, it’s awesome.👍

@@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA how did you blend the colours, any tips? Maybe a video explaining? Thanks

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

@leehurst6922 yeah start with dark colours then to light. I will do a video to show in the coming future. But pretty much spray and hope for the best. Where you want to fade then spray from a further distance. Would be better with airbrush, but I currently use cans. I do have an airbrush, but that’s my next thing to look into

[@martinhsrc6699]

Love the body colours. Assuming you used an airbrush?

What part of the hobby do you think this is aimed at?.........basher, beginner or budget racer ?

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

I think materials suggest beginner/ basher. I have no doubts that this could be a racer, although depending on classes available it wouldn’t pass for vintage etc. I’ve seen one on KZbin set up for carpet and it looked great

[@David-Benjamin]

I bought one to race up here in QLD in Outlaw 4wd My local club is currently making a large dirt track for vintage and Outlaw racing. Outlaw is cars made or designed between 2000-2015. Outlaw 2wd must be rear motor. It's aimed at getting the older race cars out for a bash. Since the Dirt Cross is based on the Lazer ZX5 SP, it's perfect for this class. I will adding Kyosho aluminium big bores and 3 racing aluminium hingepin holders to mine, which I am just about to start building.
