Popular Post QRC Posted May 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2022 Haven’t done a build thread for a while so this one deserves it, a classic from the ‘80s with a modern twist. Great to see how the style of packing has been replicated, with parts on display. Option of chain and belt drive, ball bearings and tyre foams included. It will be having a Savox 1258, HW XR10 justock and 13.5T. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QRC Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 The Javelin is part of Kyosho legendary series re release buggies from back in the day, it shares the same platform as the Turbo Optima. The quality of these and presentation is second to none. But that said they are not cheap, but hey what is in this hobby is….😂 Just need to do a little research on the diff weight oil peeps have been using, the manual shows the use of grease, that’s not happening on my watch….😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertberr Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 You say they're not cheap, no they're not, but what is in the RC world these days, at least something worth having? And, if you compare them to higher end 4x4 rere's from Mr.T then I'd say they were actually quite competitively priced for what you get, spec/quality wise. Anyway, looking forward to seeing your progress on this one, been thinking of adding one to my OG/ReRe Kyosho collection, just can't decide between this and the standard ReRe Optima.

QRC Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 Well as soon as the words ‘Classic’, ‘Vintage’ and ‘Legendary’ are used then the price will reflect…🤣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QRC Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 Diff oil choices have been made, 10k up front, 7k in the rear. Trying to cover all options of use, it will used on an outdoor astro track, indoor carpet and the garden grass track….. Looks like once the diffs are in, there will be a lot to disassemble for removing and change the oil…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
