Fell in love with this kit the moment I saw it.
And the idea of building it yourself is also an appealing argument to buy it...
Seen many vids of these vids and of this particular kit already and its amazing how good Kyosho does it all: fit and finish, packaging, manuals, the whole experience seems just to be a whole lot of fun...
I do have some ideas for the electrics, but I wonder what you guys think of the direction I wanna go.
Its not going to be a shelfqueen, not exclusively that is
But when I ride this, I will ride it much more gentle than my Losi Ten DB Pro, thats for sure....
I also have a certain look in my head for the car.
Taking inspiration from the '60 Honda F1 cars
So mainly white body with small other accents
The car itself has yet to be purchased, but I want to wait untill I have the spares first for my destroyed Losi buggy

I did already buy some hop ups of wich the first batch has arrived:
- black wing
- ball diff (taking riding this seriously)
- metal servo saver
Will plan to get another body, for the shelf queen part
Black wheels are on their way, but front or rear (can't remember now) are not in stock, so that will have to wait...
RC Channel metal cage ordered, together with their alu bumper.
That package is coming over from the Far East, can't wait..
At the meanwhile, the ball diff has been build.
Have no experience what so ever in building diff, let alone judging whether the tightness is okay...
Manual is kind vague about it, even for Kyosho.
But, I red somewhere that you can determine tightness by holding one wheel and turning the other with a simple spin, if it turns around one turn, its okay....
I'll have to wait till the car is done to do that.
Any tips are welcome of course...
Will post pictures of the build of course and videos will follow when its all done and I can take it out for a spin...
