- Hi Everyone! Today I am unboxing a vintage Kyosho Salute! This is Kit# 3034, it was released back in 1986 and is similar to the Turbo Optima. This kit is headed to Keith at RC Icons...please check out his channel if you haven't already. I have the link below. Don't forget to subscribe and give me a thumbs up!
Edit: I say the Salute came out in 96 instead of saying 86 in the video...oops!

I love it!
Really appreciate you offering it to me. You did a great job with the video. Thanks Erick
No problem Keith, I'm happy for you to have it in your collection. By the way, if you read this please check your email.
A trip down memory lane for me, I had this Kyosho Salute kit back in 1986 and used to race it indoors at me local track, my first Kyosho and just a brilliant kit 😊
You are a lucky man my friend...not many of us had kits like this when I was younger. Great memories though, I love seeing old kits and remembering what it was like opening them up for the first time. Thanks for watching!
You know what I am going to say since I am a Kyosho fanboy 😉it looks great and I would love to get my hands on one!!😀Keith is a lucky fella getting that sweet looking buggy! Thank you for sharing!😀👍
I wish I had another one for you! They are hard to find these days. They do come up on eBay, but not "New In Box". If I find another one I'll let you know!
Very cool! I have never seen one in the box. Thanks for showing it oof and I am sure Keith is over the moon to get one!!
I was fully prepared to unbox all the parts and metal bits. But those boxes were never opened. I'll let Keith open them. It is an interesting one from Kyosho, I'm thinking they wanted to offer a cheaper version of the Turbo Optima back then, so they eliminated the LeMans motor and used a different body. It was probably only like $20 cheaper back then.
They should make this car again.
You can change the timing on that motor. They should bring back those brushed motors they used to make they're very pretty.
They both need to be redone I would want all of them.
Bad ass kit brother epic score indeed 👍👍👍👍
Oh wow, not very common as NIB 😮 What a find 👍
Oh yeah, it's the only one I've ever seen NIB for sale. Thanks for watching!
I still have my Salute from 1986 and the driver figure is indeed, smoke tented.
Yes! Thank you for telling me! I thought it was strange...feels like a different material too. Do you run it? I've never seen one before finding the NIB one. Definitely a rare one even though it's basically a Turbo Optima.
Really cool buggy, i almost bought one as a kid but ended up with the Aero Streak instead.
I had to look that one up! I didn't know about the Aero Streak! Do you still have it? The 80s were a fun time for RCs, so many different models were released in a short period of time 😊
Yes I still have it with the box and everything, it need some new grease and a light over look but everything works and runs, decals are peeling soo should probably order a set from mci.
Wow! Awesome!
It is a cool kit isn't it? I don't remember it back then, I guess my local hobby shop never got them, or I was too busy with my Tamiya RCs.
@@eekrc it’s true! I don’t remember this kit at all!
I want to see it built and run.
I recon the salute will be re released next year to complete that line of legendary series optima’s
That would be awesome! I'm waiting for the Turbo Optima Mid Special...I have the Optima Pro on pre-order too, that is one of my favorites.
Are you going to get the laser dirt cross in the fast attack vehicle in August?
Hey Brad, I'm not sure about the Laser, it does look cool...love the wheels on it too. I probably will not get the FAV.
Not 1996
Omg! I didn't catch that I said 96! Well, hopefully everyone knows I meant 86 lol. I'm not going to fix it. Just like most Tamiya RCs, I'm not perfect 😂
@@eekrc the Salute and the Vanning were some of my most coveted cars
@@jonthomas8487Do you still have them? That would be awesome! I sold off my cars from when I was younger, I regret it.
@@eekrc coveted but didn’t own. I had a World Engines Rockbuster but wanted everything Kyosho from 1984-1989
