Kyosho Caliber 30 & 60 - Concept - Nexus > Question for WhirlySpud (or anyone else who knows)

I hit the mother lode today; I stumbled upon a near-new C-30 SR in filthy, but excellent condition. A complete strip-down and cleaning, maybe a few parts, and this baby will be like new.

The canopy, while in good shape, has a REALLY bad decal/paint job. My question, before I go to the considerable trouble of cleaning it up, is will the Concept VR canopy fit a stock SR? Is the front lip and rear mount holes compatible?

And are the VR tail fins the same? They look to be.

Thanks,

Steve

Thanks, Mike. Actually, it's not as bad as I first thought; a little elbow grease should have this SR canopy and fins looking presentable and ready to re-do.

Speaking of that, the Empire shows that they still have some of the original SR decals. I have gone over their parts listings, and there are a couple of items they don't have that I would like to get. Such as the hard red dampers; the Empire still has the softer black ones, but as I recall the the red ones made for better cyclic response.

Does anyone know another shop, etc, that has C-30 parts, Zeal upgrades, etc.? I've got this thing about halfway torn down, and so far the only thing that really needs replacing is the boom; and that's more cosmetic than anything else. But I'm sure I'll find other things, and I would like to put all-original C-30 stuff on if I can (except for those blades- yuk!).

Speaking of blades... ah, better do another thread....

But I still need to know if any shops out there have a stash of C-30 parts. C'mon guys, give it up!

Ron Lund has tons of parts for Concepts. It helps if you know the part number though cause that's how they list them.

Steve,
Congrats on an excellent fun fly. My wife and I both had a very good time. If you are interested I have a concept canopy that has been painted with Centari paint. It is a metallic silver. I painted it when I was painting a trailer for someone. I put the silver on just to use as a base so I could paint over it later. You know the bleach bottle crap. Anyway to make a long story shorter. If you need/want it I will pack it up and sell it to you for the cost of shipping. I think I have a new (in package)windshield for it that I will include. I might have fins also. Email me or call me,

Glad you guys had a good time, Terry; we enjoyed having you.

I'm ashamed to say that I cannot find your phone # anywhere. I know it's here somewhere in this desk clutter, but it is hiding...

I'll shoot you an e-mail when I get home; got your address on that computer.
