I also restored and repaired a Kyosho Raider.
I translated from my blog:

Sorry for my bad translation.
The car was like the picture: dirty, without motor, the speed controller did not work, tires that are loose from the tires, ..
I should clean and change the shock absorbers:
The car needs a motor. Before I must clean and grease:
Cleaning and whitening the wheels with hydrogen peroxide:
In the end, I paint the wheels with the white paint. I also placed a sponge inside the tires:
I paint the letters of the tire with the white paint:
I lubricate the transmission and the gears:
I place ball bearings instead of plastic bushes:
The motor is type 555
rewound by me so that it is faster:
I adjust the 15 teeth pinion:
Replacing front shock absorbers with other oil shock absorbers:
The rear shocks work well (they were previously replaced by the previous owner):
The receiver is Sanwa brand with the old standard; it is valid for an old Sanwa servo but is not compatible for a modern ESC:
I made an adapter for ESC (reversing + and - wires):
The car is already working well:
I will paint the body another day:
