Hi,

Great decals, where can I get the original files, Thanks.

Painting wheels for my Tamiya TGX Mk1 Porsche 911 Gt1...

Well, Project Fantom 20 Exp 3P is finished, lots of work on the body, but the results are quite amazing, one of my favorite cars

I was so lucky to find a Brand New OS Max .21SE-B, perfect match for Rowdy, carb and muffler placement. So project is moving up, I got to wait Two weeks al least to get this new engine to Bogota.....

Found a new engine, almost new, a OS Max .21RF, yeap, It wont work on the Rowdy....

So Rowdy its going forward, the new powder coated cage and front bumper. its looking really nice.

So the Kyosho Mint Las Vegas restoration ends here, I will run a few tanks then she will be a shelf queen.

Bring you memories back? Hahaha,

I see "Henri Pescarolo" is your driver. FWIW, he is known for wearing green helmets.

That's a good call, will try to find some info, will tray to repaint the helmet according history, small details jejeje.

A New Hope;)

Starting from cero, building according the old manual and common sense, this Las Vegas kit is showing Kyosho evolution but the material cost effective much more plastic in comparison with Rowdy Baja, oh well that's the way to reduce weigh I guess. What a beautiful machinery right?

Old paint has to go, it's in really bad condition and peeling off, pity. A beautiful Power Coat yellow will fit niceley.

Work continues, this damn tires lettering, it looks pretty easy on YouTube right? Well is not, extremely hard!! But it looks really cool, I just use a toothpick an patience.

All vintage Rc cars got a nice history, but this type of unexpected finds are in the top. Just enjoy them.

So what did I do? Cancelled all appointments for today, need to dig in to this yellow happiness....

Last Saturday I went to the rc store to buy a new glow plug and fuel line, I wasn't look for anything in particular, The owner is an old guy, a little bit grumpy, for some reason he start a simple chat, asking me why do I need a glow plug, he told that no-one is buying nitro now, just electric, then...
