Loved this video! That was a ton of work to record and edit I can imagine. Super proud of you making that Kyosho Great Again! Question is was there anything weird about this Kyosho that almost Pissed you Off, cause Kyosho seems to do that to me frequently, lol! ahah. JK.

[@torquerc4859]

Thanks man, you're an OG! I'd say the servo setup for steering was not my favourite to deal with ahaha

Bloody brilliant!!

I love rebuilding these older RCs! More of an electric guy myself, but id definitely be intrested in building a nitro in the future. Great work!

amazing video, that thing will rip! cant wait to see some 2 speed baby's!!

[@TheMrchips25]

Kyosho V One S. GS15R Engine. I still got mine running😁 Man what a restoration you've done!

[@torquerc4859]

Thanks so much dude. They are awesome cars hey, I run two speed now with sway bars etc, really makes the difference 👌🏽

[@TheMrchips25]

Agree Man. That second speed is a game changer. Though it does slowly damage the second gear fast even setting it to engage at low speed.

[@torquerc4859]

@@TheMrchips25 yeah it does that’s true, almost impossible to set a perfect mesh on a two speed, my trick was to just buy a shitload of spare gears 😂 they wear rather slowly though so kinda good in that regard.

[@TheTonester2312]

Very nice. I'm sure it's very rewarding to see it rip well.

[@nitronorsemen863]

A+ video!💪 Very enjoyable. I love restoring old nitro vehicles as well. Keep the great content coming👍

Can you recommend a body sheep for superten it’s so difficult to find the fit one

[@adrianjabs5752]

Nice job looks like a Ford GT body was curious about the drive belts were they frayed or stretched ! Top job !👍🏁

[@Compression-RC]

What’s the difference between the gs engine in this car and the gx engine in the Pureten alpha ?

[@jarrodfrench5572]

And the quality is amazing

[@freddieparrydrums]

This is such an awesome RC project

[@torquerc4859]

Cheers Freddie! Video of it ripping will be out soon

[@Paskaavuosaaresta]

Did you rebuild the shocks and difs

[@torquerc4859]

I didn’t do a full rebuild by any means on the shocks & diffs, just re oiled the shocks and added fresh grease to the diffs. Are you working on a v one s man?

[@Paskaavuosaaresta]

I race the v one r4s and i hav o.s. r2104 engine

hey =) YES i watched this AND now glad that you made a driving video i watch that now =)) what Car is this body? greetings

[@LukeMaj80]

Hope you changed the 20year old rusty bearings inside the engine..

[@anth0nyfps575]

Hello, I picked up my V one S from my parents, which is over 15 years old. I would like to restore it but I have no knowledge. What do you recommend ? It was my father-in-law who took care of the mechanics and I drove.

[@torquerc4859]

Hey there mate, I guess the first step would be cleaning the chassis to be able to properly check all screws, plastics & belts are in good shape. To clean use degreaser and a brush to agitate everything. Dry with compressed air. After cleaning, I’d oil all bearings. From there, you can add some oil to the cylinder (remove the glow plug, replace with OS#8 plug if required). After removing the glow plug, use a hairdryer to warm up the engine for a while, then attempt to use the recoil hand starter to turn over the engine. For the carburettor, use some fuel line & a syringe to push a small amount of methylated spirits into the carb. This will help clear it. Ideally, I would recommend a full engine tear down and deep clean, but I am aware you are new to this. That’s ok. After that you’ll need fuel, a charged igniter and a check of all electronics to ensure they’re working properly. Start it on a block of wood and let it warm up, then you can begin tuning. That should get you going for now man, you can do it 👌🏽🙌🏽
