Hello to everyone who frequents the Kyosho section here! A while ago I was given a Kyosho Stinger MKII at my local club by the club's owner who had been given it by the cars owner no longer wanted it and couldn't be bothered to sell it. We could all take anything on the condition that we donated an amount of money to the club, which I did. (I did go back and give him £30, felt like I robbed the guy! ). Try as I might, nobody anywhere seems to know anything about it . Posted on the URC forums, no-one there seemed to even know it existed. Anyway, here's some pictures: This is most of the stuff I got, some of it's out of the shot. A close up of the chassis itself: Some of the parts I got with it: (Engine box is empty, by the way) It came with everything; 4 sets of wheels and tires (1 set foams, one set pins and one set on-road), the original shocks new in their blister, an unpainted bodyshell, 2 spare glow plugs, an aftermarket bumper, some random decal sheets along with it's standard ones,alternative springs for the hop-up ones, some spare A-arms (ones on the car are different, hop-up or later version perhaps?) a tool thing for doing stuff, a fuel bottle (handy thing, that) manuals for everything, an unused starting cord and electric 12v starter, a clump of nicely preserved and usable fuel tubing and a Futaba Attack-R radio handset. Also had it's box and some of the internal packaging. (Long sentence there. But this is the internet, sentence structure is invalid ) And on top of that, it runs like a charm and is in brilliant condition. Not a mark on the chassis, practically polished. And then there was this: That's right, this Stinger is a touring car. I can't find any reference to this 'sedan conversion' as it calls itself, anywhere on the net. Absolutely nothing. All I get when I search for it is my own pictures in the URC forums. Could anyone shed light on this? I'm genuinely intrigued. Also, what exactly have I got here in terms of collectability or desirability? is the Stinger MKII something to keep hold of, or should I sell it? Thanks for looking.
