my custom and homemade Kyosho Raider
(In Spanish, here: http://reparar-cochesrc.blogspot.com...de-piezas.html)
I had many spare parts from Kyosho Raider and I thought I could build a new buggy: ... I needed many essential parts (shocks, bearings, shafts, suspension and steering arms,..) I started by checking and lubricating the transmission: "homemade " Suspension arms in aluminium The shafts were obtained from a DVD-CD rom: the chassis diagram: Building the chassis with a polyethylene-aluminum composite sheet: Building the front shock absorbers with aluminum tubes: Building the steering arms with two long screws: I have put ball bearings and a 380 motor to test the transmission: Now, I start to assemble the parts of the transmission and steering in the chassis: Servo and steering are assembled and adjusted: It starts to look like a car... The first test with a 540 motor, receiver, ESC and battery: Building a custom bumper. The curve is obtained with heat from a soldering iron Bumpers and body supports are already in place: Receiver and ESC has been mounted with Velcro: The lexan body is obtained from a toy-grade car: It's done !!!! the bumper is behind the body With its "brother", the original Kyosho Raider: Last edited by korreka; 19-01-2019 at 10:42 AM.

The time taken was about 10 or 12 hours over a month (cleaning, transmission maintenance, making homemade parts, ..).
I spent very little money because I already had many parts of an old kyosho Raider, wheels, 2.4Ghz radio kit, battery, motor and many recycled materials (aluminum plate and tubes, screws,.). The used body of a toy cost me 5 Euros. On ebay, there is sometimes a Kyosho Raider for parts or rebuilding for 15 euros. On ebay or Aliexpress, you have stock 540 motors (€ 5), servos (€ 5), oil shock absorbers (€ 5-7), Speed controllers (€ 6), .. |
