Hey Fil, that's a lot of buggy for your money! Love it! The way you painted it is so cool and adds to the retro theme. Those build tips will come in handy if I can get my hands on one of these - you certainly sold it to me buddy! Oh yeah, I think you are becoming a tyre sniff connoisseur! Have a great weekend dude! 😎👌👍
Paul C. said it might be a good buggy to have a TT02B shootout with. 😳😳😳 We've got a lot on our plates at the moment, but I really think this buggy is a great bang for the buck. Thanks for watching! 👊🏼
@@poorboysrc A TT02B would need a lot of hop-ups to get near this Kyosho, pal! Could be fun though. At the price points, I reckon the DF03 Dark Impact is a perfect match and very similar in spec! But yes, a lot on our plates but a cool project down the line!
Just built one. Agree with the steering end points. I used a low profile Servo and had no hitting issues at all. I recall using one pf those servos in another built and found them to be taller. I Swapped out the plastic bushings in the steering and diffs for bearings which I think was an oversight for Kyosho considering they gave you ball bearings elsewhere. I had to grind the washer off the servo mount to avoid hitting the drive shaft. Saw that tip off a few other people’s videos
Sweet kit l like it and that's surprising for me as l do struggle to take to the new stuff from any company but Kyosho has done well with this! Fil you nailed that paint job buddy! Looks fantastic!
Awesome presentation Fil. For buggies I'm more of a plastic fan. These parts're more duable for hard use. What isn't so nice is that they don't put a simple silver can into the kit. For the classic kits I'm fine. But beginners should get a motor with the car.
I missed this one, glad you got one already. I had not pre-ordered this one so not sure if I am going to be able to get one or not right away. It looks great and I am sure it will be a blast to drive. I do prefer the rear cab buggies. The cab forward ones look too spaceship and boxy to me usually. I mean if it is a space ship themed buggy that is another story but for a regular buggy the cab needs to be in the rear!
Now this looks most interesting mate! Like you say, something so special about these budget kits..... and they always end up being great runners. Sometimes the top end stuff is so nice we almost hold back in fear of damaging something that we have invested so much time and money into. This ones got proper old school eighties vibes to it..... Cab in the right place, nice rugged square symmetrical lines, and a proper racing stance! Also, loving the paint job, great work bro! Looking forward to seeing it run at the beach matey! 👍 👍 👍
G'day Fil 🤠👩. That looks great!, the colour is nice with the black👌. Thanks for your unboxing and tips mate, I bet that's going to save a bunch of people busting their steering👊. It's nice to see the rear cab body AND a driver👍. We're looking forward to a run vid. Take care and have a great week mate👍🦘🇦🇺
That cover for the spur and pinion is awesome. That was my only complaint about the zx5 I had. Hope they bring back all the upgrades they used to have for the zx5. 🎉
@@poorboysrc back almost 20 years ago you could get every part in cf or aluminum. Glad to see they got rid of the Stoopid u joints on on the dog bones. Those things broke all the time.
The dirtmaster was an awsome car, i had the ZX-5 and that was a great buggy, this will deffo be a great buggy to run on the beach. Look forward to the running shots 😁
Indeed, the smell of fresh rubber is nice. Good tip about the servo as well.. it seems to be common for Kyosho, but I'd rather have more throw than not enough. I just hear from more seasoned Fazer users, that the bulkhead which pivots off of that arm tends to wear out and cause steering slop. Something to be aware of, but my Impreza is still solid and I jump it often.. and it's my most used Fazer. Very impressive buggy kit!
Was never into Kyoshos but his DC looks likes the business. Like if the Tamiya Nova Fox and Racing Fighter had a baby. Might pick one up when I go to Japan!
That's a great colour choice, Fil! I can understand why after the BBX, you still want to paint more khaki, it is great! And waaay better than Kyosho's boring attempt to make this buggy look cool... I'm looking forward to see the run video, see it out in the dirt where it belongs... Have a good one there, buddy!
Hi Phil, a great new addition to your collection, I’ve been looking at both the 2WD and this 4WD version (soon to be released in the UK). Question is, how did you paint the body…it’s almost being suggested that you sprayed with the PS55, then used the TS68, backing in PS5 ? Doesn’t the TS68 peel off the Lexan? Or is the PS55 providing the adhesion ? Best wishes to you and the family 😊😊
The black was just foe the wing, and it was a PS colour. The TS colour (deck tan) adheres well to PS paint. So I first sprayed the PS clear, then the TS deck tan. Just be careful not to put any runs in the clear. 👍🏻
Nice paint job man ! I have seen some Japanese videos of this buggy running on dirt not sand and it's spur gear is full of dirt and dust. So that cover does little to protect it. What microphone are you using ? I don't want to complain but sometimes the sound is very "metallic"
@aviano72 yeah that dirt cover won't be doing much. There's a hole in the bottom of the chassis, beneath the spur. Lol! Yeah sorry about the audio in the 2nd half... My wireless mic died, and I had no idea! So I was recording audio straight off the phone, so ya, it sucks. My bad! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I am most definitely a Tamiya man but I have the Dirt Master.... it is BEAUTIFUL! I'd love one of these too but the funds keep being directed in other directions
This is cool! I've had my eyes on a Schumacher, I've had my eyes on an Kyosho Optimia as well. But those are both expensive. Must... resist...knee jerk reaction to buy.....
@@poorboysrc ok here's what happened. I went to Amain, just to browse. I was just gonna look. Long story short, I have no will power and I bought a Schumacher Pro Cat. And I still want this Kyosho 😭
Oh man, tough call... Really tough call! I'd have to give the nod to the BBX. It's just a little more unique, I love the big plush suspension, and for a 2WD, it can really handle its own on very loose surfaces. 👍🏻
Hey this looks so dope with the beige paint. But TS? Will it hold to the body? Did you paint it on top or still underneath? Great vid looking forward to seeing it running
I'm going to have to get one now thanks. I did notice you used TS paint for the desert tan color. Do you do anything special to keep it from cracking and flaking off?
I guess the main issue here is that at that price, and with those capabilities, I'd start looking at a Associated or Xray, if I actually would want a non-vintage buggy that's actually racable, these inbetween models are perhaps in an odd place. It's just a couple hundred more for an actual racebuggy.
I think these buggies have a market. They're not full-on race spec, but have race-spec characteristics. Lower price point than a race buggy, but more plastic. Personally, I love 'em! I'm not much of a racer, so it's nice to get a buggy that can handle well and drive it around, not worrying about beating up a $500 race rig. 😉
I have been racing the dirtmaster this year , I am terrible , and it’s way to quick on a 10t brushless , but that has taken some big hits and has taken them really well , minor damage on the rear hinge pin holders and that’s it , and on a good day can take on the newer buggy’s , so this dirt cross should be a great way to get into 4x4 racing with out spending double the price
That chassis gave me TT02 vibes. What do you think? Tt02 B/ DritCross shoot out??? Great job! Looks insanely good! The girlfriend is drinking her coffee watching with me and demanding more cat content.
That's a great shootout idea! I'd say the buggies are very much comparable. As for the cats, it's been so hot out, and they like to sleep in the tall grass we have outside on hot days. They'll be back for more RC soon, I promise! 😁
I have had one on back order for a while now. I live in California. Kyosho has a warehouse here in California and I still do not have one. If I order from over seas, I would probably be able to get one. I find that interesting. Thoughts?
That is interesting... I've had mine for about two weeks now, I ordered it from RC Mart. I would expect the west coast to have these in stock like, now-ish, so hopefully you get yours soon. I just checked Amain, and I thought they had inventory, but they're on B/O still. Here's a link if you want to try and grab one from them: www.avantlink.com/click.php?tool_type=cl&merchant_id=4b85b2b7-558e-4304-89fc-54958c8f47f0&website_id=66a6c8da-0a8f-4a5e-a9be-8436cc401ff9&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amainhobbies.com%2Fkyosho-lazer-sb-dirt-cross-1-10-4wd-electric-buggy-kit-kyo34321%2Fp1559398
Also Fil, I also ordered a Team Associated RC10cc direct from them. Remember they are also in California and I did not get one. They did apologize for that. I did finally get one latter not from Associated. However, they offer me the 40th anniversary kit. I got it fast. I had the kit before anyone on TH-cam did and by almost a week. These kits are also numbered. I have not yet opened the kit up yet. I wonder if my kit might be a low number kit and if that really matters? I did also get an RC10t very fast too. Thoughts?
Seeing this I would go racing again, as I prefer my trucks, buggies and road vehicles I broke my teeth on two wheel drive then to 4X4 but gas 5th scale, then dabbled in the lesser scaled sticking to two wheel drive especialy as you mentioned that they do atwo wheel drive. Never bothered before as the only real scale was Tamiya, so could I race this or the 2WD buggy as I would love to get back into racing and due to an back injury hauling around 5th gas is not possibly. I was going to buy the Tamiya BBS I beleive it was called and try to race against the latest and greatest competition buggies I would get a kick doing so and being competitive as I was with my FG Marder & MCD 4X4 Chevrolet Baja 1000 truck against the few expensive and totally a winning buggies. I could see myself with two wheel and four wheel drive buggies as I dabble a bit with Shortcourse truck and also the Associated buggy many moons ago as it is not a very popular format in the UK, and 5th gas is also not as popular as it was, a shame as I have half a dozen trucks and buggies also 6 & 7th scale electric trucks. Whoops must stop rambling you can tell I have too much time on my hands now retired but at least I have time to indulge my hobbies lol, keep up the good work.
Thanks for the great message. It's always nice to hear viewers' back stories. I did a full video series on the BBX last year, if you're thinking of getting one, give a watch through my BBX Playlist, I'm sure you'll like it. It's the best buggy Tamiya has produced in a VERY long time, IMO. The Dirt Cross is a great bang for the buck buggy. You could definitely race this platform and have a lot of fun. 👍🏻
@christianrambissoon1141 that's right. The super-80's logo is the new one. My first one was the gray circle, then I added the wave logo, then the "Miami Vice" logo. 😅
wicked build and coloring!
I too like the cab being way back, I never noticed thats what was weird about modern buggies!
Thanks for watching! 👊🏼
Love the zx5 platform. They run so well.
Absolutely! A great RC platform, for sure! 👍🏻
