I'm 38 and live in Belgium. I got my first car: a boomerang in the year it was released. I think it was for saint-nicolas so I guess I'm celebrating my (24th?) RC anniversary on tuesday.
Yep the original spider. I was given this one after a friend got his TF-2. I'm surised you know it: somehow very few people seem aware of the existence of Kyosho's first narrow tourer.
Don't worry about the Kelron: I'm not counting on that for rigidity, it'll just serve as mounting space for the electronics and saddle pack.

the reason i knew about it was a kit came to my local hobby shop in 1995, and when i saw it i iimediatley recognised it was an optima mid with short arms! it came with a 94 celica body, on the box art it was painted silver. also 1995 rc car action made a shooutout between all the tourers of that time and this was included. frank masi commented how much he loved the optima mid, and kyosho brought it back as a bitching tourer...
