Kyosho Tomahawk ebay find
Hi,
Here is my latest resto project, it's a Kyosho Tomahawk found on ebay. It was in a rather poor state but after a few hours of sand blasting paint and elbow grease it's back to it's former glory.
I wanted a different colour scheme as the box art is a bit plain for my taste so I went for something closer to the Turbo Scorpion look.
Also having seen Tanatwo's website I decided to bling it up a bit. The shocks are Kyosho Gallop/Progress ones and are identical to the Optima /Javelin but with a small screw at the top to allow bleeding them if required and the spring adjusters are from Pargu2000. The decals are from our very own Marwan, best decals.
Very please with the result, just need a driver doll now
Comments welcome as usual.

I'm not in favour of sandblasting for resto's but that has come out beautifully.
That wicked colour scheme and optional shocks sends this into my favourites!
Nice work Jerome!

Excellent restoration, looks amazing. One question - did you bush the front suspension arms with brass bushes or were they already there from the previous owner ? I dont think I have seen those before on a kyosho so wondered whether they were a home modification....
Chain Driven
Hi Buggymuncher, yes they were like that when i got the car.
Cheers.
