Hi guys! My first build thread on rc10talk...
 It all started with scoring a few mid cars on Ebay and local forums etc. Then I took them apart and looked for the best parts and cleaned them up. I also ordered a reproduction body, decals and two pairs of OT-66 tires from Marwan. The best chassis I found had countersunk holes so that will be the main mod in this build so far. This is what I have built so far. Enjoy.              _________________ Cheers Joel |

Really cool way to show how the building goes on Manual page and then the real parts. Is it possible that You take a pic of Your "photo studio", I mean something like this: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=24834 ?
Jirka EDIT: Do You need English version of the Manual? Send me a PM if needed. Last edited by Jirka on Tue May 15, 2012 8:51 am, edited 1 time in total. |

The best 'build' thread I've ever seen. It's a true credit to you.

Send me a PM if needed. Thank you Jirka! I can try take a photo later. The problem is that I only have a 50mm lens in a very small area. Hard to catch bigger views if you understand what I mean. _________________ Cheers Joel |

I will continue the work today and probably post new pictures later tonight (Swedish time). And yes, the Optima Mid was/is an awesome car! This sample will not be a runner  _________________ Cheers Joel |

I'm thinking you spend way more time arranging the photo-shoots than you do building the car.
 Nice pics, for sure!_________________ Completed projects: CYANide | Marui Galaxy | Zebra Optima Current projects: Barney | OptiMutt |
