Old Time PDX Kyosho Javelin Racer

[Kyosho Fan]

I was cleaning out my closets and Lo... nostalgia grabbed me and won't let go. It has been a long time since I even considered RC Anything. Recently started taking stock of what I have [and what is missing!].
You'll find this old racer in ebay soon. The game has defnitely changed.

Any other vintage Kyosho Optima collectors on this site? Lets do some good old fashion horse trading ;)

If you will put a $$ amount on it and post it here before you put it on flea bay theres a couple guys here that would be very intrested !!
Plus save on those stupid fees.
Welcome to the junk yard

I might just do that, Hardhead.
Here's a few more shots and some captions of this buggy

I'm waiting for a charger so I can run it and put up a you-tube vid.

I think the only untouched stock part of the Javelin is the driver :p

Here's one of my other creations:

WhoooooooHooooooo... she runs!

Got the Tekin BC100L charger today. Turns out I have all of 2 good 7-cells left over from the past. The others are pretty much rotted or missing(?)

Anyone know why the older Peak Chargers won't work on NiMh cells? This Tekin has both pulse and linear modes [SCR/SCE]?

Stay tuned for the vids.
