    Glenn your very welcome. It brings me a lot of joy to see how much excitement and joy you have for this car. From this 50 something to another 50 something enjoy the build! This car was meant to be yours. I just got into the hobby a year ago and your channel has led me down many obsessive rabbit holes already. Nice to see this car on your channel and look forward to seeing it once built. My optima mid is still on the bench and finally got it painted last night. Take care.

    I love your “dribble” as you put it because it’s passionate and from the heart! A lot of memories with this car for me too, especially when you opened the box! My younger brother got one for his first rc when he was ten. I already had my Mardave Apache and so he asked me to help him build it! Many fun evenings were had by me my brother and my dad! Can’t wait for the build video!!👍👍

    There’s so many I want, but can’t afford. It is what it is. Not gonna go into debt over an RC. I just picked up a wild one a couple weeks ago. One of my dream cars. Probably be the last one I get this year.
    I’d love to get a raider. These were great buggies. You got a good deal there

    That brand new challenger 250 is gold. I had a 260 wheel radio but almost all my friends had either a 250 or 260 when we were first getting into RC in the late 80's. I also had a Raider but with the rally body (Citroen) as my first kit.

    I had one back in the days painted in metallic blue, ran it very much , Glenn; replace all the metal bushings by ball bearings and put much grease in the diff, put a mild brushed motor in it and a modern ESC and get that mechanical speedcontrol away.... And find some extra rear tires, they wear quickly

    I saved my paper round money for weeks and months to buy one of these in 1988. Bought it form B&H models in Lincoln. Guy who worked in the shop was brilliant with is teens when we went in. Used to talk to us about kits and show us all inside the boxes when we went in. He used to have a little card box with your name on so you could go in and pay it off weekly until you’d paid enough to take it home.

    Raider is also part of my childhood. I moved to a new town in 90' at age 14. Not many of my friends had rc cars, but my best friend had a BigWig, I now own that as it was gifted to me about 15 years ago. In my class there was a dude that we mention we like rc cars, Tamiya in particular. By him I bought his GRB Celica which I also have to this date. Now there was a third classmate wich was a friend of my bestfriend. And one day I visited the third classmate and he happen to drive his Raider in his yard. As I had been reading RCCA from 87 and onwards I obviously did know what a Raider was as I also collected Kyosho and Tamiya catalouges. About this time I also owned a Lunchbox and by next year in 91', I bought my first brand new Tamiya, a Bullhead that I converted intto a Clod. Sadly traded that Clod and have regretted that ever since. But since this spring I'm a proud owner of the Tamiyabase Clod (light blue). So I have now have all the vehicles from my teen years, part from Thundershot that my friend owned and a Mud Blaster that was the very first Tamiya vehicle I saw live in late 80s. Now that I have several spare ORV chassis when I get to build them from spare parts, all I need now is a Brat body to complete. So Thundershot is the last vehicle I need to make my child/teen years complete.

    Agree with its performance compared to its supposed competition, even as an entry level Kyosho, way ahead of the Grasshopper, Hornet and probably even the Frog.

    Hi Glenn, Unbuilt Kyosho Raider now that's a sweet little treasure. You bang on with the Hornet tyres they fit straight on the stanard Raider rims and look pretty cool These are great little cars very much under rated. We have one in our runner fleet which my daughter uses. It was rebuilt in around 2018 and apart from a weak servor saver and a snapped tie rod end its been bomb prof. Its fully ball raced and has the Optima mid custom black plastic oil shocks and a 23 turn vintage brushed motor. I have also swapped out the plastic dog bone for Optima ones. She loves it, out of the 4 cars I let her run its always the one she picks first. I have a tonne of spares for it if you are missing anything let me know I'm sure I will have them.

    It is a time capsule. I think I had that same hitec radio in '86 with my first tamiya falcon kit. I remember the distinctive futuristic looking offset handle on the radio. I always enjoyed the stick radios. I use pistol grips now, but definitely remember that one. I still have an original Ultima from '87 but I honestly never liked the car. It was very overrated in my opinion. Always broken. and not half the car as the rc10 of the same time period despite the marketing calling it the 'rc10 killer'. Not true in any way. I know as I have both. The turbo optima I think is the ultimate Kyosho car ever but I never had one as they are too darn expensive.
    I remember that charger too. back in the day everyone had them. Hobby stores sold to everyone who bought a kit as a 'package deal'.
    lol, vintage rc is so cool and I'm so old :)

I’m holding out for a long wheelbase Optima Re Re.
