My original Gallery post was quite outdated and I figured could use some streamlining.
I joined this forum after digging my old Kyosho Optima out of storage and decided to restore it. I removed some googly-eyes stickers that were cute at the time, but seemed childish now. I've upgraded parts with gold aluminum when I've been able to track them down, and the hunt continues for elusive gold C-carriers.
