    Kyosho Beetle re re

    Just the body decals to do now
  2. Never say never is my motto bruv 😁
  3. Depending on how it handles I think you might be right, would look tasty with the Celica body fitted πŸ‘πŸ» I own the XT truggy version which has been decent as long as you don’t go too wild so will hold up fine as a rally car, it’s a shame the stock body isn’t something licensed I would of bought one asap.
  4. Very nice mate πŸ‘πŸ» I was a bit unsure on the jeep body at first but it’s starting to grow on me, looks great in the sun
  5. Paint, esc and a 550 brushed motor πŸ‘πŸ»
  6. Took the mini Summit for a run out this morning
  7. After checking I think it would πŸ‘πŸ» Also so would this one https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/delta-plastik-5000-toyota-celica-rally-rc-car-body-for-traxxas-rally-325mm-wb-1344314
  8. New Maverick rally car https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/maverick-quantumrx-flux-4s-1-8-4wd-rally-car-flouro-green-1347437 ugly as sin but could be a fun machine
  9. I think it’s the plastic part of the diff that strips and gets upgraded to these? https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/ftx-mauler-aluminium-38t-422681
  10. These https://www.makeitbuildit.co.uk/axial-2-2-interco-tsl-bogger-tires-5-9-sbr45-2-axi43002-96901?gclid=Cj0KCQjwqoibBhDUARIsAH2OpWhqIrMmsGm-_P4zb6GyQFqdmr4Tx4QuURAehG54wVNNcxBfWsjffF8aAmjsEALw_wcB
  11. I own the kit version which has been great, I’ve got big 150mm tyres on mine which makes it pretty much unstoppable. Ive not needed any spares yet but many owners order direct from Gmade online http://shop9.gmade.cafe24.com

    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 .

    Kyosho Beetle re re

    Finished the build just waiting on some paint arriving for it now πŸ‘πŸ» Really enjoyed this one I’m kinda gutted it’s finished but like they say β€œall good things must come to an end” , at least I have another 4 days off work 😁

    100% agree! Something quite special about how these kits where designed.

    Kyosho Beetle re re

    Cheers guys 🍻 Thanks πŸ‘πŸ» loving the quality and the old school build of the kit Cheers mate πŸ‘πŸ» The shocks are smooth but I’ll keep an eye out and let you know

    Kyosho Beetle re re

    Bit more done πŸ‘πŸ» I’m off to take the dogs out so calling it a night .
  19. Thought I’d share some pics of the Beetle Build so far πŸ‘πŸ»
  20. A new kit πŸ‘πŸ» Crazy to think it’s been over 30 years since I last built a Kyosho (optima mid) .
  21. Once you get the hang of it and have the car setup just right it’s the best fun you can have with an RC …..well for me it is anyway πŸ™‚
  22. Its turned out to be a decent rally car πŸ‘πŸ» be even better with a set of stock body posts fitted Cheers mate 🍻
  23. A a few clips from todays run πŸ‘πŸ» Couldn’t drive it as hard as I wanted to with the magnetic body mounts but still a decent first test , a set of stock body posts have been ordered.
  24. I taped the edges then stapled the tape for extra ghetto-ness 😁 super glued the Velcro on Pure bodge but it works great, I’ve made one for the RS4 as well πŸ‘πŸ»
  25. I’m daft enough to give it a go πŸ˜‚
