I got this Kyosho Salute off of the local wanted (160 Euros) a few months back and now have the time to turn it into a Runner.
It needs a little cleaning up, lets get to work.

Front brace is snapped... usual for an Optima. Pargu is my friend.

Anyone knows how good this ESC is? Its a KO Propo CXIIR
If any one has the manual and can scan it up on this thread, that would be great!

Now that its taken apart, I take on the job of polishing the aluminium for good measure, even though it will be a runner, It has to be a NICE looking one!!!
