Siang20 25 Posted January 21, 2017 Newbies sharing, just tryout. here to share some of the mod i did for kyosho re-release series, thinking of some body may interested in the mod and improvement i did. - Front knuckle of Tomahawk replace with RB5 parts. thinking of mounting modern wheel. - For Beatle, replace front and rear shock with optima re release 12mm bore shock. and the handling just feel much more better. -Optima 2016: adding cooling fan at rear motor protecting cage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Siang20 25 Posted January 22, 2017 Beatle rear tire will fit optima wheel. tested, as visually seem bigger than spike tire. Optima rear shock on Beatle gear drive assembly. 3.5mm thk beefy new shock tower will take the abuse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gold682 7 Posted November 24, 2017 Good job. Love all your Kyosho's. Just got my first Kyosho - a Scorpion 2014. Any recommendations for a motor. Not interested in fast, just something that'll be torque'y enough for off-road whilst maintaining the vintage feel. Would love to put a Le Mans in there, but stupid money. Quite like the Tamiya Dirt Tuned? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Granddad Stinky 975 Posted November 28, 2017 Great work. I like the Beetle tyres on the Optima. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite like the Tamiya Dirt Tuned? Will recommend between 17.5 - 19.5 will made the model more realistic when running it. And Kyosho Leman 240 motor will be nice, but not the Leman esc, as the esc don’t come with fan, seem too hot with the present battery capacity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
