Hi all,

Just realised I should post here!

I've just started rebuilding my childhood car and finally worked out how to find original parts to fix and get it running again, in the process I've upgraded the shocks and that got me thinking, but searches have revealed nothing that makes sense.

Does anyone have suggestions on upgrading the rear suspension and hubs to aluminium or alloy parts? Maybe heading towards a hybrid vehicle.

Many thanks

do you have some picts just to see please? and maybe help you.

Can't help with Kyosho, but welcome on board

not sure that aloy parts are existing but if you need parts, I have a gp version wich need resto or for spares with ferrari wheeles.

I found an old article with all options for the raider. If you want a scan leave me a pm.

Attached some pics... Look away if you're a purist.

Upgraded and repaired:

Front and rear shocks
Front suspension steering balls
Rear wheels
Fixed missing rear hub bushes with bearings
Replaced broken rear axle.

WIP!

you have a nice runner. The most important is that it is a pleasure for you.
( mine had red option house shocks)
ps most of later kyosho chassis have common parts. for example, the zr1, the pure ten gp mk1 and hi rider2. it is easy to find spare to restore or upgrade an old kyosho
that s easier than some tamiya. And better in my mind
