Kyosho and Tamiya Models

............Home:

 
 


I've collected a few Kyosho models including,
Kyosho Assault, Pegasus, Ultima Raider Pro and more to come.
A long time ago I used to own 2 Kyosho Turbo Scorpions and sold them
long ago. I've always missed them and so now I have returned to collecting.
Listed below is my R/C collection, I'll add more when I get a chance.

This is a Kyosho Assault purchased from Ebay, not a bad deal but the motor needs work and the frame is bent, it is now apart and in a kyosho parts group for my later projects.

 

This Kyosho Pegasus was another good deal from where else...Ebay. The car seems complete and ready to run but there is a small problem with the front suspension, so I need to tear it down and figure it out. I've also purchased another Pegasus as a parts car as well as new front suspension arm since they were cheap. This car is actually for my daughter, a good beginner car. Hope to get it painted too.I love receiving models in their original boxes!

 

This Kyosho Pegasus was a parts car for the one above but after looking at it I realized it was in nicer shape so I'm going to restore both. I have already purchased new parts for them on ebay and both should be fully functional when I get them clean and restored. The best thing is that the first car came with 2 bodies so that's a bonus for me. They both seem to have the same problem, the shocks in front get too stiff and then it won't move and because its platic something has to give and thats usually the front end. Oh well, a small fix =)

 

This Kyosho Raider Pro one of two that I have was a surprise to me. The car seems very large and out of all the cars I've purchased seems to be a nice car to fix. Shortly after the picture was taken I tore apart this car, what a mess. Long screws where there should'nt and no screws and all screws were loose. I am really looking forward to restoring this car, there is just something about it that I like. Maybe because its one of the newer ones from the older years, so they fixed a lot of things to make it that much nicer. I'm in the process of stripping the paint from the body and the car needs a heavy duty clean, its got hair and wire all tangled up in the wheels amoung other things. All the wheels that were on the car were loose so I'm replacing them with some nice tight new ones. Stay tuned for this one! I can't wait!!!

 

This Kyosho Ultima looks fun to drive, it has a strong alloy chassis, a new upper alloy chassis plate, reinforced alloy front wishbones, and slipper clutch. I can't wait to try it out. It could use some new shocks because their basically just springs left. With a 14x2 Kyosho Mega Motor it should run pretty fast. I just wait for the weather to get nicer and ZOOM, ZOOM, ZOOM!

 

This Kyosho Turbo Ultima was 1 of 2 buggies I purchased in a package deal, both were RTR just needed a couple small parts to get them both repaired and running. They are now both apart and waiting to be cleaned.

 

This is the other Kyosho Turbo Ultima 2 of 2 deal, another nice car now in pieces. Hopefully I'll get them cleaned and back together, there are parts on order for what I needed. Still need 1 front shock tower though.

 

This is one of my Kyosho Raiders, a very nice clean car. Nothing to really do on it but I'm sure I'll get to taking it apart and cleaning it more.

 

This Kyosho Raider, one of many I have(At last count 6), what can I say I like them. Lots of new and used parts have a lot to last me. Its hard to say where I'm going with all these Raiders but I now have 1 of each model.

 

This is my 1st and only RC10, I knew nothing about RC10 cars except that it raced in the same era as the scorpion. I found out that this car is actually a RC 10 championship edition with a Stealth Transmission. It was also part of the deal with the 2 Turbo Ultimas and was just a big bonus for me. I've since purchased all the parts for it on Ebay or directly though Team Associates including a new body and wing. I have everything I need to get it to go I just have so much to do it might take me a while to get to.

This Kyosho Bandido, this car shares many of the parts I have with the Pegasus. I've purchased a new body, wing, stickers, front bumper and transmission cases with gears for this car. When I'm done it should be a complete restore, should be pretty nice.

 

This Kyosho Optima Mid, amazing buggy! Needs nothing and is clean and RTR. The buggy comes with full bearings and 2 wings and aftermarket body. This car was owned by someone one ebay who had 4 of them and know how to take of them very well. Right now it's a shelf queen but I will get around to driving very soon.

 

This Kyosho Turbo Scorpion, I'm a huge fan of these since they were the very first buggy I ever purchased. I owned a red and blue one and they were both amazimg. I know have enough parts to make 4 scorpion and I will be working on them mostly.

 

Another Kyosho Turbo Scorpion, this was complete except for the role-bar, the car has been taken apart and cleaned very well. All the parts are like brand new and will be going back together soon. One of many scorpions which will be in my collection.

 

This Cox Beetle is a very rare car for sure, I found this on ebay and purchased it from the same guy as I purchased the car above. The Beetle is MINT! Its been used only a few times and its like new, you can see that from the pictures. The only drawback was that in the auction he kept the original box and body for it. That really lowers the price quite a bit but for a buggy in this condition I got it for a good price. I'm sure I'll always keep my eye out for a replacement body.

 

This Kyosho Ultima was a HUGE Steal from Ebay, The buggy was assembled from the box and never run, it has never seen the ground. Its missing the wing and is the wrong color but thats an easy fix. This car is amazing, brand new never run and almost 20 years old! AMAZING!

 

This is a Kyosho Raider Pro ARR, another one added to the Raider collection, car complete almost new.

 

This Kyosho Outrage is an inexpensive buggy, they are a good learning buggy and I'm sure will give me lots of fun. Motor has been upgraded and missing seros right now but that's not a problem.

 

This Kyosho Raider ARR is a complete car RTR, it sat for so long think it something is wrong with the motor but it's all there. The final in my series of Raiders.

 

This is the only Tamiya I have left, I've owned a couple of Clodbusters and this Lunchbox I purchased second hand and drove it tons. When I originally purchased the van it was green, a very ugly green which is still on the inside of the body. I've done many things to it since then like replace the shocks with something better than they came with, put the beetle tires and rims on it and put a fast motor in it. The motor was crazy since I could never keep the front wheels on the ground. It was and still is very fast with the bearing kit. Now its retired to my shelf, never to be sold just to look at. It has enough battle scars to last me a lifetime.
