Just arrived to the club as a member and need some of your expertise, I recently found a RWD "monster of metal" but I cannot get any info on this can you help???

My best guess is that could be a Kyosho Land Jump.

Looks like it could be a bit homemade / modifed Kyosho Las Vegas or similar - not Landjump which has alloy front and rear arms and these are plastic  . The chassis rails look to be chopped and an alu centre pan / engine mount has been made and added in - but I could be wrong

[a.w.k. 665]

my guess is also that this car was made from various cars:
- front axle could be of a Kyosho Impacta 2WD No.3048
-rear axle maybe out of a Serpent Cobra, but that was shaft driven, and what you have is a chain drive, but that coul be out of a Serpent Quattro or Kyosho Landjump. I think the chain drive is selfmade because the engine is completely on the left side of the car.
- the silencer is of the Kyosho Landjump
-the cage could be a modified Robbe pantera cage.

Hi ,

Newbie to this site. Was given an old Kyosho Landjump from a friend. Its was old as he kept it for 35 years.

It used to run on nitro but I decided to convert it to EP. 

Here is my project..

 

Comments welcomed....
