First of my current new builds.
**PLEASE READ THIS** for anyone looking at this model displayed in my showroom and wondering if I will sell it? PLEASE DON’T ASK!!! I get numerous requests from TC members wanting to buy cars displayed in my Tamiyaclub showroom, and to be honest I get very annoyed when people ask to buy something that is clearly NOT FOR SALE!! This car is part of MY COLLECTION and as such I want to KEEP IT!! So please don’t Email on the off chance that I might sell it to you, if I want to sell any of my cars I will put them up for sale in my TRADE ROOM, so look there to see what cars I am prepared to sell otherwise don’t bother asking cos the only answer you will get is NO!!! thanks for reading this disclaimer. Regards wldnas.

I found this car at a local toy fair, it was NIB and the guy selling it only wanted £20 for it, Im not a huge fan of current buggy models but at that price who can grumble so I bit his hand off and snapped it up.
It's a Kyosho Outrage MkII ARR and one of those modern 'no patience at all' mostly built models, the letters 'ARR' means Almost Ready to Run, I was a little dissapointed when I found that the car was nearly complete out the box, all that was required to finish it was fit the radio, Wheels, build and fit the shocks and cut and sticker the body.
It sat around for a few weeks until I went and got a new radio to stick in it, I wasnt too impressed with the build quality compared with earlier examples of the Kyosho breed, and to drive it is a strange experience, its supposed to be based on the Ultima but its nothing more than a cheap plastic imitation,
Needless to say Ive only ever driven it once, one of the main reasons being that the tapered drive hubs on the back axles havent tightened up fully making the rear wheel bearings loose, bout the only thing this car is good for is looking shiney, as its new built and the prepainted body is Very Very shiney.
