TWINSET 1793 Posted April 9, 2012 I've never seen a whole alu chassis, but I did used to have an alu swingarm for mine These were all the alu hopups I could get at the time (2003) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaPeRo 30 Posted December 8, 2012 The detail in those aluminum parts are amazing. I wonder how they were made and exactly what kind of CNC machine was used..particularly those forks. I'm thinking 5 axis mill? Anyway I've always wanted one of these Kyosho bikes...may have to get one but it seems hop-ups are hard to come by these days?
