Growing up with Tamiya plastic kits with plastic bushings and friction dampers the transition to Kyosho, Yokomo, and Associated was light night and day.

While I have one Kyosho kit for every ten Tamiyas, I will have to admit this is typical Kyosho; absolute perfection, right out of the box.

All I have to see Kyosho/ Chain drive and I get my "O" face on. But dude, oh man, " you don't get this on Tamiya Legends" Tore me up! HOWLING was getting my lunch ready for my all nighter shift. Pretty sure the neighbors heard cacklin. Oh Mercy! That chassis! That's a STUNNER. But,... We need to add some T-Shirt to R/C Kicks merch Gavin, scratch the chassis. Today I scratched the chassis. Wanna see my scratches? (Picture of underside of RC car.) I love Tamiya Legends. I found him on a link you posted I believe. So about that Fiat Abrath 1000.

You can probably use a brush to get into those fins. Spray a few light coats first then spray some paint into the lid and get in there with a brush. Is it just the angle or does the drive chain rub across the top of the battery holder?
@RCKickschannel Жыл бұрын
Yep, the chain rubs on the top deck and the battery. This is by design and you have hard low friction plastic stickers that you mount on the battery and the top deck. Works well but looks strange at first

We don’t have any place to run pan cars. I used to have the Kyosho Buick Stocker that had a similar floating rear pod to the CRC but it had a plastic chassis similar to the Tamiya Frog which made it quite durable bashing around

Darn it I wasn’t meant to be spending any more money on my Fantom Gold Edition! That H2RD carbon chassis just looks so darn good I’ve had to push the button on it. I’m blaming you, although it has to be said it’s great value for money compared with the alternatives ❤️
@RCKickschannel Жыл бұрын
Good choice and for the money its so much less than the Kyosho version. FYI it's not a nightmare to swap out the full chassis once built, so if you fancy building it but don't want to hold out for the carbon chassis, you can.
