Hey!
Thank you for the comments.
Team Bluegroove have so many shells making them really popular amongst vintage and modern rc enthusiasts.
Having used Marwan and TBG, for Kyosho Marwan's shells and decals are closer to th real thing. I use Marwan for most of my repros. He does good deals aswell.
I have the original nylon nuts but you are right that they are a bit ragged round the edges so I plump with modern metalwork instead. I guess it's personal preference and the purist may insist on the nylon nuts.

The shell and undertray are original but I did a very amateur paint job to say the least, more box of frogs than box art.... Is there any preference between the Bluegroove or Marwan options for a repro? Also is it worth paying the extra for original Kyosho decals or are the repros pretty close?
Lastly, I seem to remember the shocks and wheels were mounted with nylon nuts (which lost their edges in a few meets) so changed them to standard metal ones. Are these nylon ones still available? Or is this pointless as they didn't seem to last.
Sorry for all the questions, and really appreciated.
