kyosho Icarus and cox bandido
Posted: Mon Nov 23, 2009 10:33 am
i got these from Gary (redscampi) in a trade, thanks gary! the 2 bandidos with the red tubs where completly stripped down and cleaned up. then i made one good one using all the parts from the 2. the best one is the one with the black body,next best one is the one with the white body. then in a later trade ( i actually still owe car a car or two
) i got a black bandido and black icarus that where completly in pieces. the kyosho icarus is almost completed, i need to fix the roll cage and strip the driver figure down and mount the tires. the bandido that has a black tub is still being built.
the first 2 bandidos will be getting tore down and cleaned again, they are dirty already from ONLY shelf duty
i guess with these cars you realy cant "restore" them. more like just tear them down and clean them up,replace bushings with bearings, and thats about it.. at least thats all that the "restorations" ive done was
heres some pics , one red bandido might have a new owner here soon, the rest i will post pics as i go along. these pics are about 2 weeks old, only new pics coming up will be the finshed result of the icarus and the last bandido, the final result of the red bandido with black body.
enjoy!
