mtbkym01 3946 Posted April 25, 2016 Bought 2 of these way back when they were released and decided this weekend (being a long weekend, and having my wife out working all weekend ) was the time to crack into a build. I'll let the pics do the talking 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matman 1498 Posted April 27, 2016 So is this going to be the next race car or a light runner / shelfer ? . Looking great so far , what colour you thinking of painting it ? The usual MtbKym01 paint scheme !! . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtbkym01 3946 Posted April 27, 2016 A light runner that sits on the shelf Paint will be a simple scheme 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtbkym01 3946 Posted April 29, 2016 Got tied up, and delayed, all that is left to do is fit receiver and speedie 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtbkym01 3946 Posted April 30, 2016 Got some time this morning to finish this off, and gave it a little run in the street, it really is a credit to Kyosho how this runs, feels like it would be competitive with my AE B5 if I put in modern brushless running gear, fantastic effort big K, thumbs up from me I think next I'll crack into my Type 2 WR02 Kombi, or Bruiser, or Egress, or Tomahawk aarrgghh, too many choices feel free to comment on this one, or any questions, I'd be happy to answer to the best of my ability 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matman 1498 Posted April 30, 2016 That's come up a treat , nice paint colour choice as always . I have been waiting to buy one of theses & Tomahawk . But they have never came into the shop ( after the 1st lot had sold ) I put in order & i have asked & of course asked again . Don't think there isn't any left in Australia & must be waiting for the next lot to come in the country ?. Tomahawk next i recon Have you got the Optima Yet ?.

Nope, apparently Optimas haven't arrived in Oz yet, my LHS checks regularly for me, he has 1 or 2 others who want one as well, still deciding on 1 or 2. Just picked up a Kyosho Le Mans 240 vintage motor, not sure whether to fit it into Tomahawk or keep for Optima. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theibault 1535 Posted April 30, 2016 Very nice! This is what my work bench looks like right now. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berman 5315 Posted April 30, 2016 Love the colour, that looks really sharp Kym! My LHS has a Tomohawk and an Optima but I think it would be the Beetle or Scorpion that would sway me. Love looking at the engineering in these things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
