Here you are sir! I've done a very quick clean-up with a toothbrush, taken off the electronics and wheels...
Vintage electronics, the Kyosho Le Mans 480S motor is almost like new with all shiny collector

Top tray does seem a little hacked mate...not too bad - but I am pretty sure I have one or two NIP left!!
Send me an email mate.
The Boxer is probably the rarest of the trio......would say around 160 to 200 if it comes back mint - the only downfall would be the body in this case.............but then again the scars add character!! If you want to get really correct - the speedy is missing too - along with the original motor - both of which I also have available.......

Oh my goodness she's naked!
Its looking great mate, I think with a very light polish to get surface scratches and light corrosion off and if you can strip the body it'll look almost as new. Nice purchase indeed. I am super after an AYK Radiant Pro myself. such a nice brand.

Guys, after a very quick cleaning and polishing with some polishing stuff and a rag, those front arms look like a piece of jewelry

Wow they cleaned up really nice. Are you going for the super high gloss 'bling' look? If so I'll put my shades on

Yeah, every possible aluminium part will receive the same treatment, so please choose proper UV index sunglasses, I have no insurance for members who could burn their precious eyes
Some more cleaned parts from the front drive train...

I really fought hard to make it all shiny, a lot of elbow grease involved here, but the result is all but dissapointing
