Good you can bring mine back FGT.

FC Zach · 12-28-2017, 10:27 AM

Hell yeah, that compressor will be handy for sure. Do you need a stock for the 22 or do you already have one?

Johnny_K · 12-28-2017, 10:32 AM

yea super stoked about the compressor.

i got a stock for it last year.

We should go to the range on 12/31.

FC Zach · 12-28-2017, 10:43 AM

I would be down with going to the range but I'll be going out of town that day.

Dammit Zach! I sold my R/C's before Morgan was born. I had 2 HPI Nitro RS3's. Both with 2 speed gearboxes, one with the .15 engine, one with a .12.

I actually didn't ever really get into those two, probably because I grew up racing electric Losi buggies and trucks. I should have never sold those either, but they helped fund the move South.

FC Zach · 01-03-2018, 09:51 AM

That's awesome! I remember the HPI RS3s, those were a popular chassis. My first car (although a step down from this one) was very similar to this SuperTen I just got except the center diff came standard with the QRC system (reverse) and I added a two speed trans.

I'm pretty excited to get back into the hobby and look forward to adding the hop-up parts like I would have done when I was in middle school. This Kyosho will get a two speed trans, aluminum and carbon replacement parts (if I can find them, it's an old car), and of course the rotary.

The rotary engine is the tricky part for this build, OS discontinued these years ago so I just have to keep my eyes out for a good used one on eBay. . Jess has a few and said I could use one years ago when we were still at the shop but after running it by him the other day I assume he forgot and wants to keep them. . Which is understandable since these things are going for astronomical prices especially if NIB! So anyways, I'm just gonna enjoy this as it is and keep an eye out for the Wankel.

Super sweet. I had FD bodies for mine, since for some reason prior to 2010 they didn't make any FC bodies, except for 1/12 and smaller scale.

The only reason I never considered the Kyosho, and some other brands is I am not a fan of belt drive. Personal preference.

The SuperTen is shaft driven

Is it? I though all Kyosho were belt? I guess I'm getting old.

I'll bring my Kyosho 1/24(?) scale FC carpet race to DGRR this year.

FC Zach · 01-03-2018, 09:58 AM

Currently there's one on eBay at $485 with three days remaining, I suspect it react about 800

FC Zach · 01-03-2018, 10:05 AM

The mini-z cars? Those were sweet, I always wanted one of those!

Maybe....it's been a long time since I bought it. Got it from someone on here actually NIB.

This kinda has my jimmies russled.....https://www.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCZST&P=0

FC Zach · 01-03-2018, 10:23 AM

That's pretty sweet, too bad it's on backorder. If it is the Kyosho mini-z you have, holy crap! I didn't think those were as much as they are!
