Glad you had a good time building it and it kind of stinks you cut out the body wrong though. I know the feeling of "I want to get it done, it's so close" all to well! Glad you were able to grab another one quickly! It looks nice and I am looking forward to seeing it on the track.

Thanks Addam. Was a really fun build. The body mishap was absolutely because of the content push...lol. Part of what we do in the rush to get everything covered. All good and it happens. Was 100% fun none the less .

I’d love to have one of these, done up in 80’s livery. Momma said no more RC’s for a while though so not happening right now anyway 🤷♂️ we’ll done buddy. Love it

Great build fella! Kyosho really are excelling in their releases for us vintage fans over the last few years. There kits are next level business, and such a delight to build and run. I love their gold shocks, so smooth and oozing with quality. And those yellow wheels just scream 80s rc racing at you! Shame about the body, but a very easy mistake to make.... especially when you are so focused on getting it done quickly to get it out on the track. Can't wait to see this one unleashed on the track buddy! 👍 👍 👍
@VINTAGEBACKYARDRC7 ай бұрын
Thanks my friend. Was a bit hesitant on pulling the trigger because of the kits price...but the build experience was worth it. Kyosho has absolutely been knocking it out of the park lately. Runs as good as it looks! Appreciate it as always.

Very nice build 👍They should have put a big warning on the body cut-line 😢 (or maybe it was on purpose to sell a few Tomahawk bodies... 💰). Can't wait to see it on the track 🏁

Haha...there is a fairly large stand alone instruction sheet that I failed to look at. At least it was still available. Guess I need to pick up a Tomahawk now...lol.

Nice work. I have considered getting this chassis, but it’s really spendy. I’m wondering spraying a clearcoat on the chassis is the done thing, to protect it a bit.
@VINTAGEBACKYARDRC7 ай бұрын
Thanks so much. The build was super fun for me. Been a bit since I built a two stack ball diff...but it all came back to me. I used a sheet of lexon to protect the bottom for the run. Aside from the body failure...it was a great build. Appreciate the support.

Was I seeing things, or was that a slipper clutch on the top shaft?

Yes...the rere includes a slipper. One thing I don't like about the Kyosho rere kits is that they beefed up the gearbox. Would prefer an exact copy to the org.
