Hey Addam, an awesome collection of beautiful RC cars, with even more beautiful memories of them, from receiving or buying them, through the building and creation to the dreams of running them. Awesome 😊😊best wishes to you and the family 😎🖐️😉

Super cool Addam what a nice looking truck!

Nice to hear it was an easy fix, there the best fixes in my opinion 😁

Glad it was an easy fix and you got it sorted, nothing like summer storms nature's fertiliser to triple your yard maintenance schedule then it's either to wet and muddy or it's to muggy and hot truck looked and sounded fantastic running music to your ears I bet take care mate have a great week 👊

Damm it Adam! That was a great video. ✌️

IO confirm, it runs super well! Good work. next time you go to the sea carry it with you, on sand i think is super!! Ciao

Glad it was a cheap easy fix Addam 😃😃, It looks Awesome 😎👍👍👍👍

Very cool kyosho with a nice performance 🤟😉✅️

That falcon!! Would love one of them

Awesome restoration and it looked like it drives really well! You have definitely inspired me to get mine finished!!👍👍

Great run Addam.. Its not a MF-01 but it'll do hahaha that thing is sweet bud looks like it handles well.. Thanks for sharing.

I got a Gens 7.4v 60c 5000 2s for my Grasshopper2 and i noticed a huge difference in it. Thing is a bit faster than it used to be and really when on cement just wants to spin out vs the regular NiMH batteries i use in it. But your car is awesome and totally surprised it didn't break on that first curb. Really thought from the way you looked that it had broken right off the bat. Cant wait to see the follow up video.

My dad got that for me when it first came out. I was 11 years old. I put most of it together by myself. It took me two weeks. That car lasted me for 20 years before I sold it. Fun memories watching this video

What a terrific vintage RC. When I watch vids of these old Kyosho rigs, I'm always impressed at how well they perform even at today's standards. I think that's what sets them apart from the old Tamiyas. That’s not a knock on Tamiya, as they certainly have a huge stake in the "nostalgic" RC market. But those old Kyoshos just perform so well!!! Nice run Addam 👍🏻👍🏻

This is life. The smallest part is important enough to make the big picture not work.🙂

Another great haul. What about chameleon color change paint job.

That truck looks awesome love the look I’m glad you figured out what was wrong looks good with those wheels on it

OMG, a great score, for sure. What auction was that again? Ii want to check it out. I have been getting stuff from muddy tires on TT. I would have done it.

I can’t honestly say I would take that outside if it was mine.. thanks for sharing

Hey there Addam 👧😁. What a beautiful looking truck👌. That runs so nicely mate, bet you're glad the click is gone!. That motor was pushing it around nicely👌. Fil's wheels turned out looking new, good on you Fil👊. Thanks for sharing your run mate👍. A big g'day from Ingrid😍 and myself Addam and have a fantastic weekend🍻🦘🇦🇺

WOW, what a great collection. I knew you had a big collection, but seeing it all at once, just wow👀 wishing you continued success. Always look forward to your videos. I can catch up now that my house is under contract and getting settled in a new place. Then, in spring, I hope to work on an outdoor crawler course and track. Best of luck.

Glad it was a simple fix. Just a pain finding out. Heat still bad in NE TX too. Truck has a good smooth sound to it. Really like it.

Track run please.

Runs good now, recently rescued a Kyosho Citroen ZX Rally Raid kit number 3163 in need of some parts. (It's a stretched Kyosho Raider buggy chassis the particular one i got here. (Literally a plastic piece pushing the motor mount back 15 mm for a longer wheelbase.) From Kyoshos Scale car series, which had the Ford rs500 group A car sharing the same chassis & layout. But there were ones based on the Ultima II chassis on a few models as well.) Among the missing parts are steering links, servo saver, servo, bearings, battery mount. As I'd imagine it will just slide out with what i have atm unless i use electrical tape, zipties or a battery strap probably. Rear dogbone on one side has sheared off the pins from the added shocks the previous owner used on it, way too high ground clearance & was binding up the axles completely unless you pushed down the shocks pretty far so it doesn't run like that. But i know the HSP 88mm ones fit this just fine from reading on forums of people fixing these up. Also a diff outdrive is looking a bit worse for wear & actually falls out if nothing is there to hold it up, might try if a TL01 diff outdrive fits in there. Though for a temporary fix a zip tie to lock the other diff outdrive in place over the shock tower could get it moving as a 1wd car as long as i fix the steering links & mount up electrics. Do you know how long the steering links stretch out from the servo saver on the Kyosho Raider ? Basically all thats needed besides servo, esc & receiver to get it rolling under it's own power for a temporary run down the street & back. Gonna try using a Tamiya TL01 style servo saver but don't know the length of the links themselves to each front wheel. Also borrowed some wheel axles from said TL01 on the rear too fit on regular 12mm hex drives that aren't friction fit for some reason. Don't know if that was some home fix the original owner of this did or something as they look homemade or from another rc of some sort that had them friction fit. It as mentioned has way too long rear shocks which I've had to mount higher up to make it sit more neutral, think they are shocks off a 1:8th scale buggy or a 1:10th scale monster truck of some sort, dampens pretty good now though with them sitting higher up & doesn't cause issues with jamming up the dog bones. bodyshell is a bit sloppily painted up around the windows & not to boxart, as well as missing the top piece of the rear wing. Currently soaking the stiff rear tires & wheels in some hot water with green soap to let them soak up a bit & get a bit softer, they could almost be used as drift tires even on a brushed motor setup.

It's a Great looking truck. I love vintage machines. The look is great.

The truck ran great and looks great. It handled the little bumps well. I am sure there's a lot of satisfaction to get it out there following a frustrating problem. I am with you. I would hate to see the body get damaged. Why is it we in the r/c world call things shelf queens and not shelf kings?

Hey Addam !Good to see there was nothing wrong on this. It’s a beauty of a truck and seems to go really nice thru the grass! We’ve been getting similar weather here. Hot and muggy steaks followed by lots of rain. Makes for for a lot of work when things dry out and you can get out there . Hope your enjoying your summer tho! Take care buddy! 😎✌🏼

Really nice looking truck good thing it was a simple fix. 👍👍

Nice fix Addam, a weird one though, it ran strong and looked nice!

Looks amazing Addam 👌 thank God you found the issue 😁 super frustrating 🥵🤦 well done mate 👍

Nice to see it out again. I like those bumps/mounds you have in your yard...love how it shows off the suspension. Glad you figured it out, I would have been so frustrated finding out it was the pinion/grub but at least it was something replaceable...unlike that center gear that is impossible to find. Have a good weekend Addam!

It just looks so good. It is now on my list. There is a nib on eBay at $1,150. Lol

Pinion grub screws seem to be an arch enemy of mine!😂 The truck looks and sounds great now! Nice run Addam!👍😊

sweet dude....

That is a good looking truck!

Good to see the truck back out and running, looks great. Had a similar thing with my DT03 a while back, grub screw wasn't quite done up enough, but in my case the motor shaft just spun in the pinion and lost all drive. Every day is a school day!

Soo cool.. 🖖

Runs well.. cheers Adam. Gauranga🙂
