jim46 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Hi all, does anyone have or have owned a kyosho be race spec buggy, the R8 version, RTR package, it looks like a nice buggy, are they durable as something like a trophy buggy flux, and can spares be got easily accessible in the uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Spares supply in the UK for all kyosho products is very poor....something to bear in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brit_bulldog Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Kyosho spares are easy to buy from all the big names. Modelsport JE Models Local shops also. Spares supply is generally better than most manufacturers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuttyProfessor Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) I had the standard spec buggy, very nice piece of kit especially the race spec one because of the upgrades. If its going to be used for bashing, dont bother, the chassis is pretty weak and will banana after a few jumps and prangs. I upgraded the chassis to a Dragon Racing 3.2mm CNC item and then it was bashable weak points were the hinge pins and E Clips, put stainless nuts and bolts to replace them and its a different machine, brick solid. Also make sure all the diffs are shimmed properly or swap them for hyper 7 diffs and diff pinions, cheaper to replace and stronger due to straight cut teeth instead of the standard helical cut diff rings and pinions.
