Hello from France

Post by matbitbol »

Hi guys,
Happy to join this forum. I'm Mathieu, living in Cannes France, 43yrs old. I've been a RC fan when I was 12-15yrs. My first RC was a Grasshopper and then a Kyosho Raider Pro.
I decided afterwards to move to a nitro on track with a Kyosho Spider Pure Ten MK1 Mclaren F1 GTR.
Years have passed and 2 years ago, back to my parents house, I found it in the attic not started for almost 20 years and in pretty bad shape.
I decided to restore and upgrade it. In between I managed to purchase at really really good price the buggy of my childhood's dream, a Tamiya Astute.
So I am currently working on the Kyosho Spider MK1 restoration, hoping to have some tips and relations in this forum. Couples of photos hereunder.

Hello and welcome .
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.
