Radiant (with Kyosho Diffs)
Hi,
I have been collecting the parts for this build for a few months now and have only a few more parts to find so I thought I would build it anyway
My parts were mainly sourced from Bormac as part of a trade (more than a little biased in my favour) and some parts from AYKBOBCAT for a very fair price, also a few parts sourced from Udisco in Canada.
Big thanks to the guys for helping me out with the parts.
The original running gear parts are quite hard to come by so I have installed Kyosho Optima chain diffs using custom made adapters.
I had the adapters made up by a mate of mine but unfortunately he doesnt have a mill so he cut rings out of aluminium which I pressed together to make bearing spacers so that optima diffs would fit into the radiant housing.
I had to machine the front gearbox housing to fit the optima diffs also.
The pictures are as of today and as you can see I just need some chain guides and rear motor cover plate to complete the car. I dont need the top plate as Jason made me one from fibreglass which I wil dye black. The steering mechanism is from a Pro Radiant so I will attach a servo to the side plate if that ever eventuates
Enjoy the pics. I welcome all comments.

Interesting build, I like the fact that you've adapted parts to fit. Gonna be a runner?

Chris, after seeing this in the flesh today, I can honestly say the photos don't really capture how good this build is. This is truly a stunning buggy and you should be very proud....love your work
