Complete Guide to Kyosho Legendary Series Buggies : Scorpion, Optima, Javelin, Ultima 京商ビンテージシリーズ

Well, this is a video that has been over 2 years in the making! It all started when I picked up my first Kyosho Legendary Series buggy and then it went on from there. I sincerely hope you find the information useful. I tried to cram as much into it as possible!

If you have any specific questions on the buggies, leave a comment below and I will try to answer them.

I'd like to extend a big thank you to my wife, for not only putting up with me and this hobby, but also helping to film this video. ❤️ As you can imagine, this was quite an undertaking - transporting nine buggies to the park(s) over the course of two days it took to film this and then helping out with the filming too.

And for the first time, I've included footage of exactly how I film the buggies. The technique is well known and I certainly didn't come up with it! But I'm often asked how I get the running shots, so now you know. There is lots of running involved.😅 I have no doubt I get some strange looks from people as they seen a grown man running behind a "toy" car in a manner that resembles someone walking a dog...😂

If you enjoyed this video and found it useful, consider hitting that subscribe button. YouTube tells me most of the people watching my videos aren't subscribed. (What are you waiting for?! 😁)

In the past I didn't really put much weight on subscriber counts, but as my tiny little channel has grown I've noticed that more and more opportunities arise (or at the very least, more doors open). Certainly it will help me to bring more content to you, my viewers.

Well, that's all from me. I was hoping to take a break from editing for a while (this video took me...well, let's just say quite a few hours to edit.) But as I write this I'm preparing to head off to the Shizuoka Hobby Show early tomorrow and hopeful get some coverage for you.

So that'll be more editing tomorrow night then. 😅 All good fun. 👍

Stay tuned!

And, as always, thanks for watching.
