061 - Guess Who's back?

 
Today I've received the Madcap that I've found some weeks ago in the italian Scalers&Crawlers board. It costed me 55,00 Euros shipping included and its conditions aren't bad, the drivetrain is partially ballraced. This evening I started to clean and inspect it: a pair of screws are missed and a C4 part is broken (unfortunately I haven't one for spare, must to find one). The refurbishing is only at the begining but I alredy got some ideas for the updates.

057 - Action Pics From The Alps

After a pair of barbecues and after some works on my CR I decided to take some shots in the same place of last year. This year there was less water and I made a little of careful to prevent what occurred in 2012.

Yesterday I've cut the original Cr01 inner tires foam to gain more traction and to gain more support to the heavy Cr than the wheels without.
