A trip down memory lane for me, I had this Kyosho Salute kit back in 1986 and used to race it indoors at me local track, my first Kyosho and just a brilliant kit 😊

You are a lucky man my friend...not many of us had kits like this when I was younger. Great memories though, I love seeing old kits and remembering what it was like opening them up for the first time. Thanks for watching!

I was fully prepared to unbox all the parts and metal bits. But those boxes were never opened. I'll let Keith open them. It is an interesting one from Kyosho, I'm thinking they wanted to offer a cheaper version of the Turbo Optima back then, so they eliminated the LeMans motor and used a different body. It was probably only like $20 cheaper back then.

It is a cool kit isn't it? I don't remember it back then, I guess my local hobby shop never got them, or I was too busy with my Tamiya RCs.

You can change the timing on that motor. They should bring back those brushed motors they used to make they're very pretty.

Yes! Thank you for telling me! I thought it was strange...feels like a different material too. Do you run it? I've never seen one before finding the NIB one. Definitely a rare one even though it's basically a Turbo Optima.
