Kyosho Optima Pro Replica Box Art Paint Scheme - The Undertray
In this video I talk about how I went about painting the undertray for the Kyosho Optima Pro replica I've been working on. This, for me, is a good warm-up to painting the body as my liquid mask cutting skills need a lot of work. Now the undertray is done I can focus on the body. Hopefully the body has straighter lines than the undertray haha. Enjoy!

Kyosho Optima Pro (Replica) Update - Fitting The Body
zhlĂ©dnutĂ­ 2,1KPƙed 2 měsĂ­ci
In this video I go through the steps it took to get the reproduction Optima Pro body fitted to the chassis. The issue being that the body had no marked lines for cutting, I think because the body is quite thick so the lines didn't show up when moulding. Anyway, I fit the body and also show what I came up with as far as colours go to match the original box art. Enjoy! Thanks for watching. Please...
Kyosho Optima Pro (Replica) - Chassis Build
zhlĂ©dnutĂ­ 2,5KPƙed 2 měsĂ­ci
G'day! In this video I go over the chassis build for my Kyosho Optima Pro replica. This is a build I've been meaning to do for a very long time but never got around to it. Now with news of the upcoming rerelease of the Optima Pro, I figured it was time I built mine. Enjoy!

Kyosho Cosmo From 1987 - Finishing The New Kit | Body Painting & Decals
zhlĂ©dnutĂ­ 1,5KPƙed 2 měsĂ­ci
In this video I finish off the new build vintage Kyosho Cosmo from 1987. The Cosmo was one I bought a few years ago and the previous owner had built the chassis but never painted the body or applied the decals. So I'll take you through the process of washing the body, masking, painting and decals. The info may be helpful for newcomers to the hobby. :) There's even a huge mistake in there, where...
Kyosho Optima Pro Legendary Series & My Plans

G'day! In this video I talk the upcoming rerelease of the Kyosho Optima Pro in the Kyosho Legendary Series and also about my plans to build a Kyosho Optima Pro out of a standard Kyosho Optima, using a repro body, wheels, tyres and decals. Although the Optima Pro is still being rereleased, I will continue with original plans to build one myself using the parts I have as the rerelease has differe...

How I Painted My Marble or Lava Effect RC Body
zhlĂ©dnutĂ­ 1,5KPƙed 5 měsĂ­ci
In this video I take you through the steps it took to paint an RC body. It's not really a tutorial, just how I did my body. The design across the middle of the car was initially meant to be a marble effect, but since has taken on the name of lava effect thanks to Mads, of Mads' RC Buggy. Hope you enjoy the video!

It is quite a long video but I didn't want to skimp on the information which maybe be valuable to some people looking to paint their RC carb body in the same style. Please excuse the sound in some parts of the video, I was having microphone issues. Hope the video is helpful! Thanks for watching. Please like, c...

    Hello Sir. Good to watch your videos and they gives a lot of information. I appreciate them. I just bought the Kyosho Optima Mid 2022 and just finished the body. The paintwork is good with the tamiya PS sprays, but to place the decals right can be hard. Either you place them a bit wrong with the angels or maybe you will get some airbubbles underneath them. IÂŽm strugling to try to get this right, but I can never get it to look precisely right as the originals. Maybe I just have to practice more...it means purchasing more kits and that is not so bad anyway. Well as said befor I really appreciate your videos. Best regards from Hans, Copenhagen Denmark.

    Hey man, really loved this video. I've found myself sponsoring cars and parts for a keen young builder/driver (he's 9 but is more responsible and possibly skilled than me (42) when it comes to driving). He's getting a Fire Dragon for his birthday, I've picked up the same engine/battery combo as you're using here. So far I've got metal bearings, aluminum A5 part, plus aluminium front and rear shock towers. I've already lined up a spare body shell. Any ideas on what other upgrades might be wise for this little beast?

    I had one. And my step brother got a Hornet. The Hornet could drive circles around the Cosmo. Horrible draggy plastic bearing transmission and dog bones. Everyone who tried it hated the car, I couldn't even give it away. Once the dod bones stripped, I tossed it in the trash. I got an RC10 after that, but the Hornet we used for years.
