i was suprised about teh nitropro st it handled just as good as my electric xxx-t and it jumped perfect and has very good speed i mean if i beat todays good nitro trucsk with it it can't be that bad, i liek the nitro pro st its a good truck it may be 6 years old but its still good.

I just bought it on eBay. It's supposed to be a Kyosho and it has a .10 size engine in it. It's suppose to be in good shape except for a missing pulley on the bottom or something.

I bought it because it's cool for the most part and I would think it's worth alot more than I paid.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Gary

I have a Kyosho Nitro Pro also!! It has been a pretty good truck, getting parts for it is h**l though. I melted the clutch recently, and that sent me on a 4 month long search for a replacement three shoe clutch. I finally found one and as i was reinstalling it on the engine, i broke my engines pilot shaft :mad: now i am out of commision until i have saved up enough for a new enigine. pics of my truck on the way.

where did you find the three piece clutch thing, mine just went out and i need to get a new one, any help here would be great. I also have a prob. with my engine, connecting rod is cracked. lol, put a new diff in it as well, the diff set from the ultima works great on it (fyi).

i actually converted the car to a two shoe clutch, however i found all of the pieces to do it at Hobby Town. the part numbers are hpia884, hpia808, and hpia827 this ran about $10.50 with tax, and it included; flywheel & spacer (a one piece item, much lighter than the old one) clutch shoes and springs. the flywheel might not fit depending on what engine you are using, it worked for me because i am using a nitro star engine(hpi's house brand) however hpi does make other flywheels. hope this helps

I have an "old school buggy that I have been trying to identify for awhile now...I just found this forum so maybe someone can help me. It says Kyosho on the front bumper, it's a 1/8 scale four-wheel drive that I have since converted to rear-wheel drive because I couldn't find the front dogbone. Here is a pic...

c'mon guys, I know someone here knows what this beast is...it's for sale or trade also.

01-18-2003, 12:43 PM

hey quadperson it seems to be an old burns/turboburns (if this is it is the same than a usa1 nitro, except wheels and counter gear and spur gear) surely that´s a burns/tb

crypt

01-18-2003, 12:48 PM

got to the usa1 nitro forum, there you have some pics, and you can see it´s the same thing, so you can use all parts from the usa1

I have an Outlaw Rampage, bought it brand new way back when... It's barely a rolling chassis now... I may gather all the parts for it and put it up for sale one of these days... The origional OS 12 is toast though.... But I do have a tuned pipe on it...

Hello, I cant remember the name off the manufacturer of this car. But it is called a mustang. I know someone who has one or at least had one. He picked up someware for nothing it even had the box and manual. I never thought I would see another.

I've got an old school nitro truck that started life as an electric Losi JrX Pro buggy. Then the truck craze hit in about 1991 and I upgraded it with a LXT truck kit. About a year later, Duratrax came out with a nitro kit for the LXT, and I purchased that. It was one of very few nitro powered 10th scale trucks around. Shortly after I built it, Associated and Losi both came out with their own factory trucks, the RC10GT and the original Losi XNT. So, the company that made the conversion kit for Duratrax, stopped making them and parts. I still have it and it looks great. The only trouble is, parts are impossible to get of it. It was very tricked out in its day with ball bearing steering and titanium everywhere. It is also the only vehicle I have ever seen that is chain drive to a ball diff.
I thought I had some pics of it, but I must have deleted them from my pc. I still have the truck and conversion kit box and may add some pics of it later. Its still in excellent condition.

Hey, I'd love to see pics of your truck. If you get some you can email them to me directly at tfhughes_28@yahoo.com

i love looking at the older models...i've heard of that conversion, i actually have old RC Car Action magazines here that have the add in them for that kit you have. The only pictures i have seen of that conversion is in the mags. It will be cool to see an actual "real" pic of the truck.

Is your truck in working order? Or is there a few parts you need for it? That is a truck to keep forever as a show piece, in my opinion. I bet it is worth a few bucks to the right person. Let me know when you get some pics.

SeventyGTX

Yes, my truck is complete and should work with a bit of tuning. I will get it out of storage and get some pics of it. I havent messed with it in so long, but I do remember I put a later model O.S. .15 in it. Not sure if it is still in it or not. I still have the .12 engine as well.

Can someone help me ID this stadium truck. My nephew found this in the attic. We got it running and now he's in love. We need parts for it but have no idea what it is. My brother in law thinks it's Kyosho but cant remeber for sure. Please help my nephew's new love for the hobbie grow, he thinks he can beat me already. :rolleyes:
