I'll take a look for the Delta speed control, (this thing is huge in size by todays standards, and somewhere I should have a never run Delta IFS setup. Who knows what else.

I believe there is a 12e kicking around also, has the optional top deck from AE. That car has entertained many young drivers, and the parents return it after the kids grow out of it.

The milled pieces showed up in 1984 on the team MK2 cars but didnt make it to production untill the Plazma MK3 Limited.
I know there are other option parts out there for Plazmas,but the only ones I really know for sure from Kyosho are the short top deck and Magnesium Pod/gearbox. There is a short top deck on Ebay now.It doesn`t wrap all the way around the speed control servo like the kits pieces. It was for the Mark 1 Plazma so you could get rid of the long top deck and servo saver. Using a directly mounted steering servo.

Need to find dig up those carbon chassis plates and put it together with the aluminum pod plates and get one good car put together.

You can still mount the throttle servo to it but it is short.
I see alot of MK1 Plazmas using this here in Japan.

On a different note you can see Koma`s team car here.

You can see the milled gear box and how the front of the chassis is cut so the corners don`t rub,and the alloy spring holder. I am not sure of the rear axle. I have aMugen with the same Red alloy rear axle. I am not sure if this is a Kyosho part or not.

Looking at your Mugen makes want to get back to restoring my AYK Cyclone. It needs to have new chassis plates. Just a matter of cutting them from raw graphite plate. So much to do and yet the years just go by.

At the same time there's another listing on Ebay for the standard kit plate for just $4.99 with free shipping. The plate you're talking about looks like the standard kit plate with the servo slot portion milled off at the factory. Not sure if that is worth the extra $17.

The alloy standoffs look interesting on Koma's car. I'll have to see who's alloy standoff would work. I think I can find those from XRay.
