RC49. My Memory Having RC car. My No 27 RC. Kyosho FW05S Jpn Edition 2006- Convert from 2016 FW06. .

This time on 24/6/2020, looking for wheel Hex for my bronto, no stock in the rc shop i go in seremban. Then ask for loose parts for bronto, the shop owner ask me to the stor to look at a loose brontosaurus, what parts i want open and take. Found a half cut rear bronto and the best is under a big box, i found a nitro car Kyosho FW06, missing lhs rear hub, no dog bone, axle shaft, tyre, linkage, no steering servo, body, Engine can't turn and coroded, dirty with dust, fuel tank HSP and crack, air filter sponge damage. Front lhs no uj, drive axle bearing and wheel. So ask the shop owner sale to me but he thing twise. Last he ask me give my best price for two item, i just give him the figure Rm100. Stright he say take it. So this units is only Rm80 and the half cut bronto Rm20.
This Kyosho belongs to a customer sent for repair around 4 to 5 years ago didn't come to collect. Still new when sent for repairs, put in stor until coroded and dirty in this few year, parts is been remove and sale to other customer who looking for fwo6 parts, rear rhs suspension parts is been remove. For me i have all the parts in stock. So i will redo back this units. I thing this FW06 is from 2016. Happy get another same rc. This my No27 units RC car.

To make it easy to open the radio compartment cover i use a screw with aluminium head. Most of the time use screwdriver. This product from HY Rc for tighten the battery bracket. 

To make it more fun i will convert this units to Kyosho FW05S 2006 Jpn Edition. Future front differential using gear, 2 speed, stabilizer bar front rear, only didn't have changeable clutch bell gear and also exhaust manifold, Engine same .
Ori FW05T chassis kit come with 2 speed, no front and rear stabilizer bar and front one way. For FW05S supra body, single speed, no front and rear stabilizer bar and front one way.
FW05R with centex clutch, special radio box, with front and rear stabilizer set and with front differential gear.
First i change the front and rear suspension carriers, shock absorber tower and rear hub. The axle housing and 2 speed housing is same. Next order the Fw05 Radio Box VS051 from kyosho Malaysia Time Square. Finaly VS051 Radio Box arrive from Singapore. 14/8/2020. Now This Units Is Kyosho FW05S 2006 Jpn Edition. Next may be to change is the fuel tank and rear suspention arm, exhaust system.
The box

Front shock tower FW05 parts. 

Front suspension arm bracket, FW05 parts. 

Rear shock tower FW05 parts. The stabilizer bracket is behind later i will DIY.

Rear suspension linkage bracket, FW05 part.

Change both rear hub, using V one RRR. Same as FW05

FW05 using same parts..

Both rear wheel Hub can use, but FW05S using lhs part, FW05 R using Rhd parts.

Because this units i want to change to FW05, so i replaces the ori fuel tank to this square fuel tank from Hong Nor. If found the same tank i will change. 

Add a fuel filter 

The kyosho Silencer i change to tune pipe from my kyosho spider. Only left the manifold. 

Add a return spring for acc servo. If receiver or remort battery week it pull back to 0 position.

On the engine flywheel i file a grove for BDC. Position stright up the carburetor, when stop i always put the piston on bottom BDC.
