    That's bad ass. I wish I could build a track like that. Excellent job man.

    Nice job! Where is this place and where did you get the clay? I'm tired of chasing weeds in my own backyard and contemplating on chasing my childhood dream of having a track in my own backyard. But no way I'm doing it myself! I'm hiring people!

    Hey Keith,that was an amazing action from the trio of Tamiya 4WD’s. David’s Terra Scorcher looked great out there, along side your Hotshot that DF-01 was quick with that hot motor. 😊😊best wishes to you and the family 😊😊

    The Pro110 was sold as a kit. In that kit were three containers of different weights of oil to tune the shocks. It was all about the shocks for that car. The gear mesh was always a little sketchy, For racing, we'd simmer the nylon gears in water to soften them and then meld them. You'd only get one race out of that gear but it was fire.

    Hey Keith, David did an amazing job of the awesome Terra Scorcher, you also did him proud with the amazing paint job. Awesome work. Oh my wife is Italian, think she’ll have lots to say if I was to build a RC kit, whilst on holiday though 😂🙏😂😊😊best wishes to you and the family. 😎🖐️😉

    Keith, I don't comment often. I love Kyosho nib kits, more vids like this pls! The limiter (counter/ reduction) gear came in two versions...OT27 was for the Opt and Jav...OT74 was for the Tur Opt and Salute...if I'm not mistaken. There were two variants of pn OT74....Spring and spring type washers. The former owner knew what he/she was doing when they ordered a spare...they wanted both variants. There was also a counter gear with a pin to hold it to the shaft (Opt Pro I think). Although I believe all the gears may have been put with different kits. In the 80's everything got jumbled. The manuals tell the full story of what pn goes with what kit...if that makes any sense.

    The coil spring limiter sucks. It causes over time the gear to "tilt" and makes the gearbox run weird. They replaced it later with the wavy washer version, which is superior.

    I have a Turbo Optima gold Re-Re. I built it into a Javelin with the white cage. I still went ahead and painted the body box art though. I’ve thought about getting the MCI Salute body and decals. I agree the blue one is the cooler one

  • @philmoffett366
    @philmoffett3664 күн бұрын

    If I can remember back in the day i think the salute was Kyosho’s answer to the bigwig when 8.4v batteries started appearing and you can get two versions the blue one and a red/orange version which has a shorter cockpit design but it didn’t have a long manufacturing life so I’m guessing it’s probably a lot harder to find in mint condition🤷‍♂️

    Nice to see the Salute on the bench! I wouldn't have sent it to you unless it was 100% complete...decals and all. I'm watching the video yelling at you to check inside the manual for the decals lol. For anyone interested, a local collector was selling some of his vintage kits, that's how I found it. Right place at the right time. I doubt I will ever see another one. Enjoy it Keith!

    I'll never get that Japanese policy about the oil. It's annoying and frankly it's just theft in my eyes. Painting that salute body is on another level if you want that crisp... my goodness. But cool additions to your collection, Keith!

    i think the FRP black chassis was an option part from Kyosho or indeed the USA version, you also had aftermarket TRINITY chassis, It was very well sold from TOWER HOBBIES in the USA. Then you have the ULTIMA PRO XL and later on you had the Turbo ULTIMA II with the Green wheels and same gold shocks but with the KELRON chassis, and those kits are becoming very rare, more rarer then the ULTIMA PRO
