tamiyoman 2 Posted November 24, 2009 I recently put together a file of approx 100 PDF manuals for Kyosho RC cars ( think for RC cars there are 107 of them), i also have 2 HOR Motorbike manuals, 57 plane manuals, 44 helicopter manuals and 34 Boat manuals, i would like to know the best place to make them available to people (if they are interested?), what i dont have is time to be sending these to people on an individual basis so im looking for a recommendation as to where to send them for hosting!. Any help appreciated. Most of them are in English!. Below is a list of manuals,i also have some exploded diagrams of these cars too. Im not going to list the other stuff as i imagine its RC cars most people would be interested in. All but one of the nostalgic series is here (just missing the MGB MK I i think) Shelby Cobra 427 (Nostalgic) Porsche 906 Carrera 6 (Nostalgic) Cobra Daytona Coupe (Nostalgic) Lotus Europa Special (Nostalgic) Ford GT40 (Nostalgic) Skyline 2000 GT-R Racing (Nostalgic) Ferrari 250GTO (Nostalgic) Ferrari 330P4 (Nostalgic) Corvette Stingray 67 (Nostalgic) USA-1 USA-1 Nitro Crusher Tracker Celica Gt Four WRC Corvette Hi Rider II Sard Supra Opel Calibra V6 DTM Unisia Jecs Skyline Castrol celica Spider TF-2 Type R Lazer ZX McLaren F-1 GTR Lotus GT1 Stadium Baja Beetle TF-3 Type R Trail Blaster / Boogie Box Turbo Inferno Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Sard Supra Gt Championship Version Opel Calibra V6 DTM Version Inferno 10 4WD Toyota RAV 4 1/9th .10 Nitro Scale Pajero, Montero, Terrano Taisan Starcard Porsche GT2 Calsonic Skyline EP AMG Mercedes C Class (TABAC Sponsor) Calsonic Skyline GP Toyota Castrol Supra GP Honda NSX LM GT1 Nitro Tracker Inferno MP5 Inferno DX 4WD (Jap & English versions) STP Taisan Porsche GT2 Porsche 911 GT1 Superten Competition McLaren F1 GTR Opel Calibra V6 ITC version Volvo 850 Renault Maxi Megane Peugeot 306 Maxi Field Baja Beetle Superten Four Mercedes CLK-GTR Superten Competition II Mini Cooper Mk I Wild Dodge RAM Super Eight GP Landmax 4WD Formura Sports (F-1 Type) Sports Proto ATV Quad Rider Mitsubishi Lancer Evo V Subaru Impreza WRC Superten Four II McLaren BMW F-1 GTR Raybrig NSX Superten Competition III Fiat 500 Toyota Corolla WRC Nitro Blizzard Mooneyes Street Van (Makes the lunchbox look boring lol) Hoppin Mad & Pedal Popper EDIT:- quite a few early manuals (i have most of the older manuals in Hard copy rather than PDF but these are the ones already in PDF, i will have to consider (when i have time) to get the older ones in PDF format for hosting too.

Can't you contact an admin here on TC and look if you can get these poisted here (despite this being a Tamiya website) - We already have a few Schumacher manuals listed, so why not a Kyosho list, too?

Old_School 0 Posted November 27, 2009 I have contacted TC and asked them this. Great, I have been looking for the Cobra Daytona manual for some time. Since you have a lot of Kyosho manuals, Rétro Modélisme (http://www.retromodelisme.com) also can be an option for uploading? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tamiyoman 2 Posted December 9, 2009 Another Update, i now have over 150 Original manuals too (10 Ring Binders full of manuals), they came as part of a "Kyosho LOT" i recently acquired. Some examples below of the manuals i have now (unfortunatley as i dont even have time to upload the ones i already have that are in PDF already, its going to be even harder for me to get these scanned and uploaded, but they will be done eventually), I think almost ALL of them are in english too!. I highlighted the ones that ARE in english as i know they are available already on retromodelisme but in either Japanese or German. Turbo Scorpion Turbo Ultima Ultima II Ultima Pro Maxxum FF (Yes its in ENGLISH!)

tamiyoman 2 Posted December 24, 2009 I decided to host them on my own website which will go online in january sometime (possibly february), its easier for me to get my father to do it (he is building the site) and that way we have a reference section, its easier than uploading it all toi several sites and spending days scanning manuals.

Live Steam Mad 17 Posted December 26, 2009 Main problem is time now (which i dont have much spare lol), TC have offered to host them but i need to burn them all to a disk and send it to them.I will do this when i get some free time and work out how to use my cd/dvd writer (which i have never used!). Cheers I can walk you through this. DON'T use Windows Explorer / Windows drag and drop alone to do it, that will nearly always result in corrupt discs. You will need Nero or similar. First up, go and buy some RITEK G05 8xDVD-R discs (they are the most compatible and reliable disc on the market, I have used them in everything for years). Next, have you got a copy of Nero at all on your PC? Have a look in Start / Programs / Nero (some name or version) / Data / Nero Burning ROM. If not buy it, it's quite cheap from a local independent computer shop (like 10 / 15 GBP at the most I think for an older version, you only need V7 and indeed NVE5 which seems to be with the full version of Nero V8 is terrible, Nero VE4 is best) When you have this and can launch the program, then Then make sure that your DVD burner is selected at the top right (you will see something like "D:Optiarc"). If the correct one is not selected (i.e. if you have multiple CD / DVD drives) then click cancel in the window that has come up, and go into there above and click and you get a drop down menu to select the correct drive that you want to burn to. Then click on File and then New from the drop down menu. If you have only 1 DVD burner then it will select it correctly by default so you can leave it like that. Make sure that under New Compilation in the top right of the window you can see DVD. If not and it says CD, go in there and alter it to DVD. Underneath it should be highlighted on "DVD-ROM (ISO)". If not, click on it to highlight it in blue. Now make sure that on the top right of the window the Multisession tab is selected and then under where it says "Multisession" further below, that it says "No Multisession". Now put your blank DVD-R disc in the drive and wait a few seconds for it to be detected and then click on Nero Express down near the bottom of the window. Nero Express will launch (which is the simplified version of Nero) and then choose Data DVD and then Add and then select your various files by clicking on the 1st one, holding shift down, the clicking on the last one, or select all by pressing CTRL down and then dab the "a" key, and deselect anything you don't want by holding CTRL down and clicking on it. When finished selecting click on add at the bottom and then click on finished / cancel next to it. The window that popped up when you clicked Add the first time will dissappear and you will see the files ready to be burned. Now click Next and then click the thing which is in the middle extreme left which opens a panel so you can select the Writing Speed. Choose 4x. Never ever burn a disc faster than 4x or you'll end up with bad burns. Make sure Verify data on disc after burning is ticked, and that Allow files to be added later (multisession disc) is not ticked and then click on burn. Your disc will now be written and then verified. Now you should have a disc with all of your manuals on it. Make a couple of copies for back up as discs are cheap. If you have more than 4.3 GB of files then use a Dual layer disc and you can then fit on 8GB. If you still have too much for a single disc, then put half the files on one disc and the rest on a 2nd disc. When you have your site up I would like in particular to be able to download an English manual for the Kyosho Progress. Cheers, Alistair G. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
