Ok. I guess they will help you out then. I make my own decals if there is something i don't find, then i get them just as i want

I found some Marlboro decals, but I may need to customize some. I'm going to do this at a smaller scale using the HPI body. I think it will only fit a cup racer or such. Not sure yet. I'll see when I get the body and measure its dimensions.

I don't know yet, i have been in contact with a store locally here in Norway about it, so i haven't got them yet. They had to special order them abroad to get decal sheets that can handle water without having to put clear lacquer over them before use. But if you look in ink-shops and places where they sell printing stuff i guess you will find something. I don't think there is a less range to choose from in the states than here

Sorry to resurrect such an ancient thread, but I just picked up a DRX of my own and managed to score a Stratos body and the Landmax 5-spoke yellow wheels! Very excited to start building it out but I'm missing the sponsor decals. Does anyone in here have a line on where I might be able to find some (been Googling for hours)? Also, what LED light kit would you recommend for this body? The one Lars used looks great, but he never mentioned where he got it.

Don't be sorry, it is nice that someone gives it some life again The leds and wiring are bespoke, so this is nothing you can buy that suits the body, i have soldered and built it myself. As you might see the front headlights wasn't easy to make!
Good score by the way! The decals was ordered directly from Kyosho by my local hobby store, so if you have one nearby, ask them if they can do the same for you. I can try to find the part# for it.The rims was ordered from US, but i think i vacumed the store for it. I also got some of the last rims from Kyosho when ordering the body.

Yeah you did an amazing job with making the light fixtures. I knew those were custom-made I just didn't know if there was a basic light set you used for the wires, bulbs, etc. Pretty impressive that you rigged all that up yourself.
I was talking to the guys at infernosonly.com - they seem to have the biggest selection of Kyosho stuff in the states. They had a phone call with the people at Kyosho and apparently Kyosho has discontinued production of the Stratos sponsor decal set which absolutely kills me! My last remaining hope at this point is that they would consider releasing the digital file they used to produce the decals so I could find someone to reprint them for me. I do graphic design for a living and am pretty handy with that kind of stuff but I would need some kind of starting point, especially in terms of the shapes for the window trim and the grille, etc. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Thanks a lot! There was no other way than using a scalpel to cut out for the reflectors in the headlights, so i was pretty shakey before doing it. But with small gentle cuts it went as planned
Oh, that's sad to hear with the decals! I really hope for you that they will be helpful. Atleast you are a graphic designer, so that is the least problem then
What i did before cutting the decals from the sheets was to scan them, so i can make some decals if something went wrong. If i am really lucky i have them on a backup-cd, my harddisk broke down this summer so it all went out in the big nothing.
