In this video I unbox 3 vintage Kyosho kits, 1 of which has already been built on the channel.

Late 80s was the pinnacle for rc buggies😍 manufacturers put just as much effort into the presentation of their products as they did on the actual product! Brushed motors which you had to look after and early stages of esc’s and batteries!……brilliant times😊

Totally agree. The marketing was strategic to impulse buying at the hobby shops.

Hi Keith, thanks for the shout-out, and thanks to you, the Top Force is sitting proudly on my shelf. Looking forward to catching up later this year in Sydney, then hopefully down in Melbourne for the Vintage Bash.

Now 1988 was an awesome year! You had the choice of an Avante or the Optima Mid Custom Special. The CS is by far my favorite 4wd from Kyosho. The body design just sets it off! Enjoy the weekend, Keith.

Thank you. It is funny because I feed off what I see others do. Glenn was a huge influence on me starting my collection so my hope is that it goes full circle and I might inspire others to do the same. Collection videos will be filmed once the new studio is done and everything is in 1 place. Lol
@gaskelldaveАй бұрын
Nice additions to your collection Keith! I just missed out on the Mid Custom Special back in around 1990. We set off on a several hour road trip to Mansfield models near Nottingham (UK) without bothering to ring up beforehand having seen it advertised at the best price in Radio Race Car there. When we arrived we found they’d just sold out of the Custom Special but had got the newly released Lazer ZX in so I bought one of those instead but it cost more and meant I couldn’t buy new radio gear. Not sure why we didn’t ring up beforehand to check, my Dad probably thought it would be a good excuse to take me and my brother out for the day regardless of wether it was in stock or not. Long way in a 1100cc Ford Fiesta with no radio though! If ever they re-release the TOMS, Custom Special or Lazer I’ll be ordering one!

That Calibra is super cool! I was tempted with that but passed it because I have the chassis already. I believe it's officially Pureten Ep Spider 4wd. But the design is same as with TF-2. It is lower spec though with friction shocks, alu chassis and no turnbuckles. I have seen a flyer that has this named TF-2, and the one with carbon lower chassis was TF-2 Race Ready or Race Spec and then the TF-2 Type R. Some of the nostalgic series cars came also with this chassis but the lower deck was black and with plastic side pod thingies. I need that in my collection.
@rcicons4915Ай бұрын
lol All great info. I get confused when I see a tf2 chassis with a different name. Now it all makes sense. I have a few of the ep nostalgic cars and the chassis is very close.

@@rcicons4915 Take a guess what came after TF-3R? You got it! The Pureten Ep Spider Mk2. 2wd version of the TF2 chassis. I have the whole collection from Spider 4wd to TF-4R plus some extras. I'll send you some pics if you'd like.
