By Drapes86 November 21, in Vintage. Hello all, firstly a confession I have always liked the idea of RC Cars but have never really got into the hobby and I know absolutely nothing about them. However; I have recently caught the bug and pledge to become a better person and make up for all that lost time! I was clearing out the garage and found my childhood Tyco Hijacker looking up at me, along with a beaten up, dusty RC I had never given a 2nd glance since inheriting it from my step brother whilst clearing my things from my mom and step dad's loft. After spending more time than I should cleaning the HiJacker and realising it was completely shot, I turned my attention to the other car. So, I'm an engineer, and and the first thing that I had never noticed was the intricacy of the swing arm mechanism, followed by everything else that I could see I cleaned off some dust from the body and rear wing and read "Kyosho" and "Optima Mid Custom". I typed these into everyone's favourite Internet search engine and Well, let's just say she no longer lives in the garage and I have completed my 10, hail Mary's to repent for my sins! After that inexcusably long introduction, I'm going to be rebuilding her. Considering this is my first venture into RC car restoration, I will not be making any modifications to the spec - just a deep clean and replacement of parts as necessary. I'll add pictures as I go, and will no doubt be asking for lots of help from this community along the way. I really hope that I can do the old girl the justice she deserves!
