So the test-run photos will have to wait a bit. It was impossible with my broken Iron today, but hopefully I'll be able to get another one next week. I wonder if regular paint would work on it, and if the paint would go away with brake fluid, too? I really want the helmet to be white or yellow.Īnyway, the only reason why I could not make it run today is the fact that I need to replace the plug of the steering servo.

The manual mentions polycarb paint, but I haven't got any of those.

I would like to repaint the driver from waist up to his helmet. The plastic is somewhere between soft and hard, and that doesn't make it easy to find a solution to fix the hand. Can you see the small wheel that helps the thing do the wheelies? With the vintage brand-new AM72 Futaba receiver & the Forward-only ESC in place.īuttview. Come to think I used to be a Tamiya-only kind of RCer myself! The coils that work as servo saver are very much like nothing I have ever seen. Here's the aluminum bits I had to make to get the steering servo in its place: For a vehicle made in 1984 it might as well have been as advanced as some 1964 RC vehicle! The whole thing seems to be so Flinstone-like. I haven't heard anything about how the trike performs, other than seeing it running in some internet videos, but I know I am not going to abuse it when test-running it. The white gears as they look seem to be fragile. The 1984 Kyosho Honda ATC 250R naked in all it's glory. The pinion seemed to be shot, but I did some magic trick to it and now it's back to work again. The transmission was missing a small spacer in the gears, but other than that it was alright. Had to grab some alu bits and do them myself based on pictures and a photocopy of the original manual.

The Honda was missing the aluminum bits to attach the steering servo to the chassis. Music today for sure did not help this here fire I can't put out. This is how the Honda looks before starting the work: A forward-only LRP ESC, and a fantastic classic Futaba radio to go with it. I planned to have it ready today, but my soldering iron is broken.

The bike itself isn't in bad conditions, it just needs some electronics and a little work to get it running. So I turned to this fantastic vintage 3wheeler for a little distraction.

Well, it's been a not-so-nice time here, and come to think a little work done to some classic might get me in a better mood.
