a.w.k. 665 Posted February 2, 2019 This started out as Kyosho Inferno 10 with a OS CZR engine. To gain more speed i installed a Picco .15 EXR engine, that was made for those on road 1/10 scale missiles that were running on foam tyres. Actually a .21 with less displacement, they were called Big Blocks bitd because the crankcase is as big as that of a .21. The result was very fast and acceleration was mind blowing, nearly undriveable.... with a Kyosho Citroen Xsara body alternative bodyshell Kyosho Lancia Delta and with a Parma Astra / Kadett bodyshell 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yalson 514 Posted February 8, 2019 2 hours ago, a.w.k. said: Hi Yalson, do you mean this Chevy Nomad? Found the 1994 Parma PSE radio control poster & price list. That's the one. A model shop we used to sometimes visit just outside Cambridge had one stapled to their ceiling, as RC shells always seemed to be in every LMS I ever went in. I really wanted it, but had no idea what it would fit on and never had the cash. It remained on that ceiling for years and every time I went in I thought "I'll buy it next time I go in". Then the shop closed and presumably somebody else picked it up for pennies in a bargain bin. C'est la vie. By the looks of things it might be too narrow for a 1:10 buggy. But then my Parma '70 Pontiac GTO was fine widthwise for my SWB Mid, although it was hopeless in every other way. The Nomad might work on a monster truck, though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of those Parma bodies were made for 1/10 scale pan cars and some were made for 1/10 scale buggies. Even in the 1990 Kyosho catalog you could find Parma bodies, I think the red/white one is a GTO, the pink one was afaik a Chevy Malibu, the one i did for my Optima Mid Custom bitd, even with the same decals, the California Raisins, also a decal set from Parma. Those pics in that 1990 Kyosho catalog started a oval race craze among my friends, we were doing racing every saturday or sunday on the parking lots of our town. Optimas, Lazers, Egress, Cats.....those were the days.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
