Dads203 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Hi Guys, I've had these for a while now but they get no use, I was wondering what the value would be, both cars are heavily hopped up. One is Kyosho V one R and the other is V one S, I also have a mountain of spares most is still in the packaging. No radio gear though apart from two Futaba servos. Just wondering if it's worth putting them back on the road or moving them on. I used to race these at an unofficial type club down in Hungerford a few years back. Any advice would be great Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly In My Soup Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 You'd probably achieve £70-80 each for them...... Depends if the right people are looking when your selling, these need a track or a smooth car park to operate. But its the best time of year to sell on road rc! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 Very true, whilst the sun is out I had a bucket load of fun with these back in the day, but ended up going electric with a few Tamiya on road cars (TA06 and TT01) Plus a Sand Scorcher and Rough Rider I'll have a think about getting rid of the Kyosho's, what I don't want is for them to deteriorate and become worthless.

Dan If you can afford not to sell them....store them in giant ziplock baggies, away from the sun, and in ten years they'll be worth a bit more! I love nitro stuff..... Its just not child friendly so I too went brushless for running cars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 I store them in a zip up sports bag so that's okay. Ten years is along time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have cars that haven't run for 10 years that usually start and run. Couple of months ago I started a Rossi .60 in one of my boats - hadn't been run since 1974 when I retired from competition. Haven't plucked up courage yet to try any of my OPS .60s. Anyway, don't have any 40% nitro, which is what they were set up for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
