Seeing as my Optima is in the BOTM this month..... and there is a strong Kyosho showing among the other entries....
Unicorn rarity alert!
I recently got sent a bag of NODIS aluminium parts, mainly diff gear, from a gent who used to be good friends with Don Ison of NODIS and also who used to write mag reviews on new products, including new NODIS items. He actually penned the mag review of my NODIS RC10 gearbox which i have detailed in another thread.
I hadn't really delved into the bag until recently, but imagine my surprise when i spotted these.... The magazine review article dates from December '87 (so would have been on the UK shelves in November '87), and states that the writer was sent this alloy prototype version but the production items would actually be completely made of Tufnol. I can only assume then that these alloy diff parts are said prototype items. Beyond rare.
To say i am chuffed is a complete understatement. I might need to build up another Optima purely so i can use these parts! Did anybody else run a NODIS belt conversion, or even know about it? I didn't.
