I feel so bad for having the site down, here are 4 of my Scorpions.


-->
10.21.07 | Big Sorry
Sorry to all! The site was down while I went through some changes. I have posted a before and after photo of the Turbo Scorpion I just restored. Thanks for being patient.

08.28.07 | It Arrived
It arrived! My super nice Optima Mid Custom and it's a beauty!. I've been updating the page without saying I did so, under the optima build section I added Optima parts. I also added a link to a Turbo Scorpion Manual on the manuals page. Looking to make some YouTube video of a Tomahawk and scorpion restore so I hope to get those started soon.


-->
08.11.07 | Update I've added more cars to the Kyosho section, I've also added a Raider section to the Kyosho Reference page. I placed the Optima Mid up because I really like the look of that car, its been done for a while. If anyone has something they would like to add to the page please tell me via email.


-->
08.05.07 | Finally an Update Finally an update! I have a lot to report my friends, as you can see from the picture thanks to Brandon for building my gold chassis. I've added a whole section dedicated to the Optima/Javelin build and hope to keep you posted. I have so much good news that I don't know where to start. After many years of searching I finally found my Turbo Ultima II and I found 2 to boot. Since I posted last I have a mint Kyosho Big Boss, Heavy metal (blizzard with van body), 2 almost mint Turbo Ultima II's, Mint Tomahawk and a few more. I will post the pictures of them to the Kyosho section as soon as I can. I also add a section in Kyosho Ref for Scorpion parts.


-->
06.25.07 | Update Just a quick note, added more to the Kyosho Ref. Section. I want to thank Chris P. for sending me the Kyosho Stinger MK1 Manual which is now in the Manuals section along with a Plazma MkIII manual. I thought I would add one of my older screen shots to the top, this car is RTR not that I would run it anyway :)

06.10.07 | Update First I would like to thank everyone for emailing me with questions and compliments about my site. I always enjoy seeing others take interest in older Kyoshos like me. I have been busy driving my new trucks and having a blast with friends. I thought I would add 2 sections called 'Workbench' and 'Kyosho Reference' section on Kyosho cars, history, finding parts and answer many questions I receive. Show you some of the projects I have been working on so please keep the emails coming. You probably noticed my Traxxas trucks in my newest picture, well I drive the new with the old and have fun. The Revo, E-Maxx and T-maxx are awesome, the t-maxx is going through a motor upgrade to a 3.3 and I've added new wheels and body as well as a few other things.

Addendum

I've added 'The Tire Dilemma' to the Kyosho Ref. Section...More to come.

4WD Heaven This is my fresh built Kyosho Javelin, It has a gold chassis, Belt Drive, Option House Shocks, Option House Wheels, TR-15 Wing and new Bridgestones all around. I don't have many 4WD cars to show but the ones I have I hope to make nice and some drivers with video. Working on a Black Scorpion and hope to have that picture up soon.

02.02.07 | Finally an Update

I've been away far too long and I'm sorry for those that kept asking for more. I have been building new cars and changing the site, I hope you like the new look. I've added things and taken away some things, I have changed the menu to be more organized and I hope I can show you a lot more of my cars, catalogs and many other things. As you can see in the top 2 pictures I have my Scorpion and Turbo Rocky just finished. I have a lot of cars to add to the Kyosho section and I will be doing that over the next few days and weeks.
