It is not a click of fingers when producing 100.000 trannies, no

In 2008 Teemu, one of our brightest onroad stars, tested my GT1 Kyosho on the local track, and he was pleased with it's performance, so I'm sticking with it hehe




Here's my new Ipanema Warrior body accelerated GT1



Cheers

Many thanks GT folks!

Again, paint with cans (bottles).. This body was the easiest to prepare and paint I've ever came accross, really good job from Ipanema.

Trimmed & ready ... wrroooommmmm

Oh, you guys are so polite, many thanks everyone

Got also track tested today -- very nice on the move, too, looks like a bad-ass

Very nice steering, feels planted, no complaints

I will open the rear from the upper cutting line next so it will be perfect for the national GT race on Sunday

I'm converting a Kyosho GT2 to a Gt1. I heard their are optional center shafts in place of part #vs102. Anybody have part # for these.

From what I've heard that's true! But I seen guys running LRP motors and Picco's 28's which are not on the approved motors list for the spec class so... IDK I seen people runing these motors during practice days not sure if they where allowed to race with them at the Midwest race last weekend.

I was dqed' last year for running a Picco .21 well, not really dqed' but the points from that race didn't count for me. This was at the GT point series.

Caution: If you're planning to use the new IGW-008 (GT2) transmission on the GT1, the "stock" Kyosho front center drive shaft (dogbone or universal) may be too long. I heard there are solutions, but not sure which one is the right part#
I'm currently using HPI #86057

If someone knows a Kyosho uni part# I'm all ears, thanks

If you’re planning on attending the Byron’s race at Leisure Hours, maybe you should ask just Bernie.
