Future Beach/Sand Dune Buggy

This was my birthday/Christmas present to myself for 2015, a NIB Kyosho Tomahawk kit, part #30615B. This was my first Kyosho build, pretty nice bit of kit, no real problems or complaints. Servo saver post and rear suspension arm assembly was a bit fiddly, but not too bad. This was built stock from the box, the only additions were Kyosho SCW018 LED Light Kit, and Kyosho SCW012 Universal Swing Shafts. I really like the universal shafts. The light kit was a bit fiddly to install and keep the wires neat, but I am glad I installed them. I chose to run the 'light protector thingy' on the roof. Besides protecting the lights, it also ties the body into the aluminum roll bar. Looks a little 'strange', but a good idea for a runner. I installed a Novak #3337 Edge 2S Ballistic 17.5 system, should have some good power. This ESC just clears the driver figure. If you want to use the driver figure, you need a short ESC. I was planning on 'stepping into the future' on this build, even though it is an old design, and finally getting a 2.4 radio, and 2S lip/ battery charger, but I spent that money on a 58141 Tamiya Wrangler :-) So, this one hasn't run yet, but hopefully it will be running this summer, seems to be a capable buggy. I love my SRB's and my Super Champ, but performance wise, I think this thing will run rings around them. Just wish it had a hard body, but the polycarb is probably better for performance. Feel free to comment, good or bad :-)
