KYOSHO Le Mans Spec´s


A list with some Le Mans - info.

TAMIYA Bear Hawk




The Bear Hawk was never really a car that I wanted but when I found this a few years ago and convinced myself to buy it, I didn´t regret it when I got it! Very simple car and with a few mod´s it looks quite brutal! I am no fan of the standard redish frictiondampers and I can do without the standard disc-rims too (if You don´t want boxart of course). Again, dampers from 3Racing, cheap aftermarket-tires and I have forgot who manufactured the rims so if anyone knows, pls let me know :)

TAMIYA Wild One







The Project




Bought this TAMIYA Wild One from a friend and it came in a box, used but in a pretty good shape although the chassis had to be fixed due to some holes, no big problem though. I replaced a few other things with NIP-stuff like: The gearbox, the complete rear shaft-set and front arms. The body is a repro (very nicely made) and original decals to finish it all. I also decided to leave the damperparts red (the G-sheet), the red on the top rear dampermount is the plasticwasher. It also has aluminumrims and Rough Rider / FAV tires.

TEAM ASSOCIATED B2








First new post since a long time: have been on vacation which was great but I am also happy to start with RC again! Finally, this project comes to it´s end: The B2-rebuild. The parts that I thought would be almost impossible to find new, turned out to be the easiest part. The rear chassi-plate, the B2-body + wing and the SPORT-dampers came to me all the way from Sweden and the best thing: the parts were all new! All that´s missing now are the turnbuckles, antenna and the electronics. Hope You´ll like this one.

TEAM ASSOCIATED B2 re-build









This is todays stand with the B2 that I am trying to restore. Unfortunately, I bought the wrong rearplate so I have to continue my search for the correct one. The parts I did change was:

- 6210 Front carrier block
- 6221 Front steering block
- 7365 Hub Carrier

- 9210 Front kickup

- 9199 Chassis, standard length

- 9266 Rear susp. mounts

- 9480 Frt wheel

- 9255 Rear arms

- 9105 Front arms

- 9130 Front top-plate

- 9140 Front shock tower

- 9270 Rear shock tower

- 9275 Universals (used but in a pretty good condition)


I still have to find the nylonnuts for the dampers, the black springclamps and of course: the rearplate!
