vintage kyosho cars
a few months ago i was looking on ebay for a cheap car that i could rescue as a basher, so i finally won a car which was so caked in mud and sand that it looked too far gone but i gave it a chance.
after many hours i scraped off the crud from the bulkhead plate and found out it was a kyosho! i looked into the version this buggy was and low and behold it turned out to be a RAMPAGEGP-10 from 1989 this totally sparked my interest in classic nitro cars and from then on i have gone on to pick up:
.KYOSHOOUTLAW RAMPAGE -1989 (truck version of the buggy)
.KYOSHO SANDMASTER 10 - 1993 (was used at an event as a stunt vehicle)
to be honest i adore my two rampage trucks but the parts are so difficult to find i have almost given up so at the moment i am focused on the SANDMASTERand i could really use some help on parts, basically i need bodyshells for all of the cars (and i am aware that someone on the forum remakes shells but i would need a link or something) and possibly two os max cz-r engines to make these cars totally original and also some wheels and tyres for the RAMPAGE GP-10 and possibly some new tyres for the OUTLAW RAMPAGE TRUCK.
there is the origional promo video for these cars here. cheesy music i know.

Marwankw is the guy who does reproduction bodies. I bought an MP-6 body from him on eBay. Very good quality. He might be able to do other cars if enough folks ask for them. I am in need of a Rampage 10 body as well.

RE: vintage kyosho cars
sounds sweet, not sure on the value...
really depends on the condition, if it like new then it will be worth a bundle but other than that they will sell for around £50 in decent running condition, think of the market as people looking for a first nitro car and they come across these cars which are cheaper and buy them....not knowing that they are classic....

RE: vintage kyosho cars
First, I have no experience or knowledge about RC vechiles at all. I have a Kyosho Tracker my wife bought me in 1993. it was and still is my first rc. it has mostly sat and done nothing all its life. I put a fresh battery in it a few months ago and it kinda ran. Very erattic! Is there any where to get parts or a compleate electrical upgrade? If I could get it going my kids would love it.Thanks

Same here, I just dusted off a Kyosho Outlaw electric from when I was younger that I remember running in front of our house 15+ years ago. Glad my dad hung on to it and my old Grasshopper!
