Kyosho Nexxt

[Smidsy]

Saw one of these for the first time today. Absolutely love the Baja/moon buggy look. From what I have read on the web though. They are pretty much entry level kits and mostly assembled. Having never owned and knowing nothing about Kyosho kits, are they many upgrades for them or not? Has anyone here got one? If so what are your opinions about it,

I think it's mechanically the same as the Sandmaster, so I'd look to that thread for info.

I bought a Nexxt body separately with the intention of putting it on a Tamiya DT-03 chassis. The DT-03's long (287mm) wheelbase should suit the long Nexxt body well. Haven't tried it on yet, but this thread gave me a bit more motivation!

Id be interested to see how that works out.

Tried the Nexxt body on a DT-03 chassis tonight. The rear fits very well. The wing stay lines up so well with a part of the internal structure of the body that it looks as if it was made for it. The wing stay would serve great as a mount for the rear body post(s). The bad news is that the front of the body interferes badly with the front shock tower. Without extensive cutting of the body or a complete "redesign" of the front shock tower, I can't seen how it can work. As anticipated, the wheelbase of the DT-03 suites the Nexxt body very well. If interested, I can make a few pics the coming weekend.

Yes please if you could.

digging up an old post - is anyone running one of these here?

really considering one for my 6yr old for xmas

at £50 inc ESC its a real bargain and it looks fantastic

and being a simple kit build, it should really suit him 

thoughts??
