I have a Kyosho mantis too, mine is the EP and had the Volvo 850 body. Whats yours that had a 2 speed transmission?

Mines the MantisGP with the nitro engine rear wheel drive. I also have the volvo 850 touring car body.

The two speed transmission is a hop-up/ option part that doesnt come as standard.

The only thing that makes Monday morning in the office bearable, delivery time!

Not sure why I felt the need to try & save this as I already have 2 being rebuilt, I think the colour got me interested even if it is quite Marmite. Got a soft spot the Bear Hawk but the lack of front tyre options is a pain

Honda City front bumper & original Midnight Pumkin grill too

The white shell is unpainted other than a terrible job on the window seals, otherwise amazing condition.

Do the blades say "OLFA?" 

"Variety pack" includes OLFA blades.   

I was wondering if the ordinary blades would be OLFA as well.

Thank you.  I can rest assured that Tamiya opted for best blades.   Even the box looks the same as OLFA.

Special thanks to my good friend @Crash Cramer for sending me these fantastic items! And in the box (but not in the picture) there was also a cool FARMALL tshirt!

THANK YOU CHRIS!, you know I always thought how cool the MRP Black Knight decals were, it's amazing I finally have one myself to work some custom :D

A set of near mint Avante 2001 wheels with vintage tyres.

The tyres are starting to show signs of age but the wheels are practically new. So the wheels will find their way on to my 2001 to replace the current ones.

Managed to collect a Toyota Hilux in my 1:1 car's rear bumper in traffic today.  When I came home to find some PS paint waiting for me I took it as a sign from the universe that I have cars that need painting.

I will strip this down to every nut and bolt and then rebuild it. Not sure what to do with the shell but I want to run it hard so nothing special.
