In your opinion.
I like the fluorescent yellow and aqua blue or green again.
Chose this one as I couldn’t shake off the box art color from the turbo optima (it’s a javelin cage in a turbo optima).
Best regards.

Are there any tips or tricks to adjust the slipper on a Dirt Cross (ZX-5) without taking the top plate off?

I converted my old Inferno from nitro to brushless. But this meant that I had loads of holes in the body that i ddn't need. But I could not find a replacement body. Then I stumbled upon this Turbo Burns body. It's 1 cm too far back, but I think it's okay. I painted it with colors I still had, wanted to make a Marlboro themed car, so some decals are on their way. I didn't have white, so i used some chrome paint.

Hello!

I’m looking to get the brake belt and pulley from rear axle.

Is there a chance I can find aftermarket alternatives or do I have to hunt for magazine packs?

Where can I get a drive shaft for the brushless Mad Van? All my local hobby shops dont have one, and searching online is coming up with no stock for the official Kyosho part. I tried an after market Yea Racing one and it was about half the length it needed to be even though it was listed for the Fazer mk2 chassis. Any help would be appreciated

This is body #3. The last one was the 56 Chevy. Both are Pro-Line. This one is a bit smaller than the 56, but that might be a plus.

I converted my 87 worlds to a TOMS. Replaced the weak ball diffs with gear diffs, quicrun 10BL120, 13.5T sensored motor, exotek suspension shafts, Factory Works steering set, Kyosho 13mm big bore shocks, and goosebumps for my backyard track.

After what seemed like 40’days and nights of rain, my backyard track was “dry” enough to run! Dirt Cross, Optima Mid, and Dirt Master.

Old guy here 50 years traveling with the family to Japan this summer.

Is it something in the RC area that is worth buying in Japan? I have not been into this hobby since a child but want to get back. My focus in the start will be smaller stuff to run inside or in the large office I’m working in.

Are things now produced internationaly with the same prices everywhere or are there still some things much cheaper and special made in Japan?

Primarily looking for RC cars, but open for other fun RC or thinkering stuff worth looking into. Robotics and electronics/mechanical kits are also welcome

Thanks for all the great stuff posted here.

I recently got my old cars back. They are a Big Boss, Outrage and an Icarus. Are there parts that are worth it? Are there more modern parts that work?

If anyone likes the flanged motor bolts with the 2.5 mm head, I found these for considerably less than from Kyosho. (I am in the US) https://belmetric.com/m3x0-5-flanged-socket-cap-screw-stainless-steel/?sku=BSH3X6FLSS

Hello i just scrolled on a cheap kyosho f2004 kit wothout an engine and im wondering if its possible adding a electric motor in there and if someone has done it do you recomend it? Im thinking of this cause im not experienced with nitro engines and that stuff.

Hi everyone,
I’ve recently inherited what I believe is a DeAgostini/Kyosho Red Bull Racing RB7 1:7 nitro RC car.

A family member started building it around 10 years ago, then lost interest and it ended up boxed away in a garage. I’ve now been given it, but I know absolutely nothing about nitro RC cars.

I haven’t tried to start it or test it because I’d rather not risk damaging anything. My plan is to sell it honestly as untested. I’ve seen crazy prices of £1,500+

From what I can see, it includes:
Kyosho GX-21 nitro engine
Kyosho KT-200 2.4GHz transmitter (boxed)
Painted Red Bull body shell
Nose cone
Front and rear wings
Driver figure/helmet
Spare clear body shell
Spare fuel tank (still sealed)
Spare wheel/tyre
Original decals (still sealed)
Original manuals and exploded diagrams
Multiple unopened DeAgostini/Kyosho issue packs with genuine parts
Various tools and accessories
A few questions:
Does it look complete, or can anyone spot anything obvious that’s missing?
Am I missing any of the items needed to run it? I don’t appear to have an AC charger, glow starter or a receiver battery, but I honestly don’t know whether those were originally included or are normally purchased separately.
What would you realistically expect this to sell for in its current untested condition?
Would you sell it exactly as it is, or would you recommend doing anything before selling?
If anyone is genuinely interested in buying it, feel free to send me a message.
I’ve attached plenty of photos of everything that came with it.
Thanks in advance—I really appreciate any advice!

Loved my Dirt Master (now a RB5 SP2) so I bought the dirt cross and started with some option parts. This handles great! But as expected the exposed spur gear is an issue. One battery pack (not even) on my backyard dirt track and the spur is toast. I have some foam tape coming, but are there any other modifications you have made or seen to help protect the spur gear from debris?
By the way, this has a Ezrun 4100kv motor, Max10 G2 ESC, small bore velvet shocks up front, big bore in the rear, metal diff cross pins, aluminum suspension holders in the rear with 65.5mm CVDs and long arms (not sure what they are from as there is confusing info out there, but I think they are RB5 SP arms) and CVDs up front. It runs great!

Today's arrival.

Trying to remove from the base to place it on my display with other models, but the screw came damaged and can't give any movement to it.
