@@MarkBryanRC first time out this year, spent ages trying to find somewhere with not many people. If I had a mate like Rob local it would help to get out more. I want some new places to go but not found any yet.
Great run fella! This 'vintage' buggy is still very capable, and an absolute joy to drive. Have you got a lexan undertray on this? I have recently ordered replacement gold parts for mine as the underside and motor cage don't half show the scratches with that golden finish! Great to see it doing what it was designed for..... and loved that 360 degree spin! 👌 Delightful! 👍 👍 👍 👍
It does have an undertray but it doesn't work as well as you would hope. Stay tuned for that. My motor guard is scratched now too but I knew the undertray wouldn't protect that but that is not the issue with the undertray, that was expected. I felt like I wanted to protect the gold but I feel that driving and enjoying them is what it is all about. I don't want to regret not driving it and leaving it on display which only matters if I want to sell it and that isn't part of the plan. I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment, I will try and get the undertray video done soon. 👍🏻
@@DustyFingersRC Cool man..... look forward to seeing your future content on the undertray. I agree with your statements about running/enjoying it. I generally keep my fully restored vintage models as shelf queens, and have re re's as runners. I did look into the undertray..... revive rc I do believe. But instead just ordered a new gold chassis guard, front plate and motor guard, also ordered a new body kit, bumpers and wheels /tires. Figured that way I have all the new parts put aside to be able to restore it at a later date if/when I eventually stop running it! It's one of my favourite models to drive, and I actually prefer it to my Lazer ZX that I used to race back in the early 90s!😉 👍 👍 👍 👍
Hi there Damian, a great running video, the Kyosho Turbo Optima is looking great! I am so wishing one day I can afford a Kyosho, so, so wish 😊😊😊best wishes to you and the family 😊😊
Thanks John, appreciate it. It's a real blast to drive. I mostly use 2WD and it was smooth. I see them come up in sales groups cheaper than new and seen a few unbuilt or shelf queen's.🤞🏻
That's awesome great run
Cheers 👍🏻

Awesome run of a great buggy Damian!👍😊
Thanks, appreciate it. What fun it is to drive....only issue was all the sticks laying around and getting stuck in the drive shafts.
Great run fella!

Hey smashing edit of your lovely buggy mate. Ooh I did see your message and I will reply shortly. Anyway, top work on the vid 😁👍👍
Thanks Pete, it was great to get outside with it. Oh, I got a 3D printed part to help me steer better. Made filming a bit easier 👍🏻
