This is the build thread for the resurrection of the Nitro Crusher by Kyosho. Picked it up today as one of my winter projects. Pictures show it is pretty dirty.
Back story: sat since the 90's, last owner claimed "over 500 invested, clocked at 70mph".
Has a OS Max .21 engine. So far, it seems it needs a cleaning, bearings replaced, few other msc parts like the adapter for the exhaust, battery hold down plate, ect..
I am starting on the clean up right now, will have newer pics to post. Also got fuel, I believe I have enough off hand to have it running with in a couple days. I have also worked on ordering bearings and some other smaller parts, also found a roll cage. Will post all as it rolls through!
I have decided if it makes it to a race track or tug-of-war event it shall be dubbed "retro deli".
This is the Crusher compared side by side to the old Kyosho Tracker. I am actually restoring both of these this winter...
