FerrisBFW 27 Posted September 16, 2016 Afternoon, I am about to start a rebuild of a almost mint Landjump 4D and was wondering if anyone has any tips or words of wisdom for me? The vehicle and engine (OS21 FSR) is mint and most probably used once if ever, the reason being it was put together 'loosely' .... and this has saved it maybe? So its like new and the engine (after re-inputting factory settings runs a dream). I have a front suspension limiter ordered from Germany - still looking for the steering limiters LD-51 if anyone has a pair spare ;-) I have also ordered a stainless nut and bold kit and a new driver/body and sticker set from Marwan. I have also replaced the clutch shoes for the more modern Kyosho unit. You might have guessed I will be running this buggy very carefully every now and then, I dont do shelf queens :-) Any help would be appreciated...

yellowcat 117 Posted September 23, 2016 That looks like my Landjump except mine is brand new still in the box with custom parts that I bought in the eighties. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FerrisBFW 27 Posted September 26, 2016 Nice. Build it and run it, you are long time dead to look at a box! ;-) I remember those Mikuni carbs in the shop I worked BitD.. Love the options you have, I have a couple and now a SS screw set. I have replaced the clutch for a new one and run it on old radio gear, now to strip and rebuild properly with the options I have. I am missing a pair of Steering stoppers - LD 51's if you come across any please let me know. Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oz-trash-cowboy 63 Posted October 30, 2016 Take your time. Most stuff ups happen when rushing. The kyosho aluminium pot metal responds well to a tickle of soda bicarbonate ( 50 - 75 psi ). I painted my integra and vanning cages with automotive / marine etching primer then automotive 2K. These buggies can be fun to run, ( go easy ( low nitro and big filter) on the vintage OS21 ) the moving parts, chain etc will last longer if you use a graphite ( non wet ) type of lube. Looking forward to seeing your result. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
