bertberr Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Nice progress you're making there. Very interested to hear what you think of it, as I have a Tomahawk waiting to be built, and not yet decided on motor / esc. Yours should move very well on a 15T. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shergar Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Thats lovely 👍 What are the Kyosho shocks like - you read quite a bit about them weeping? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BlackSeaRC Posted November 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2022 There's not many modern kits around with parts like that! Looks fantastic and I wish Kyosho would do something like this again but unfortunately I'm guessing it would be too expensive to justify making the metal parts. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something quite special about how these kits where designed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tomr Posted November 2, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) Finished the build just waiting on some paint arriving for it now 👍🏻 Really enjoyed this one I’m kinda gutted it’s finished but like they say “all good things must come to an end” , at least I have another 4 days off work 😁 Edited November 2, 2022 by tomr 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tomr Posted November 2, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) Sprayed the wheels black . Interestingly the rear tyres are super soft, like as soft as good crawler tyres whilst the fronts are rock almost like shopping trolley wheels .
