I'm currently applying decals and im not sure what decal is above the desert rat decal on the back right of the body? any ideas? I'm thinking its a kyosho decal but not certain? After trimming all the decals there is not two remaining that look like the decal im talking about.
Pics to come of the car. Its in mint shape besides minor dulling/scuffing of the wheels.
it has a trinity chassis on it. I basically sold my hot trick ultima and used the $ to buy this car off a friend of mine who needed some cash. GREAT TRADE i say
and heres a pic of my collection besides one other gold optima in pieces...

This thread is about two Optima Mid models in the SWB segment. One Turbo Optima Mid and one Turbo Optima Mid SE being built side by side (those two yellow cars in the picture above).
Parts are taken from several mid cars I have in various shape....

The build thread still lives on here
I referred to it many times during my ongoing Turbo Optima Mid SE thread.

Thanks for hosting all of that! It is such a bummer when images go away and I appreciate you archiving posts like this.
This is a project I have been chipping away at on and off for nearly two years with most of the time having been spent sourcing parts, trial fitting various bits and getting ideas from other peoples builds. I've recently gotten to the point where I...

Lately, I have been contemplating weather or...

Turbo Optima Mid: Optima Mid with full options (stabilizers, ball bearings, 2mm duralumin bronze anodised flatpan chassis, ESC ready)
I bought a box of random car and boats parts off a guy who was moving and cleaning house. He was originally going to toss the stuff but decided he would rather have someone interested buy it for a few bucks. Under plastic cases and other parts, I...

The Turbo Optima Mid SE did come with a LeMans 240ST.
Tinted belt and spur gear covers were stock on both the regular Mid, Turbo Mid and Turbo Mid SE. Clear covers came on the LWB models.
As stated above, the platinum shocks and bronze anodized...
Hello everyone, fairly new to posting here, but seems like a very knowledgable and friendly community so I thought I might share my latest addition. This car became my Eleanor (Gone in 60 seconds 8) ) every time I got close to securing one, it would...

Looks very nice
I have a soft spot for the SE as its the only NIC RC Car I owned 20 years ago after wanting one for an eternity
I recently built one up from scratch though its only loosely an SE now
After sorting out the MID spares, I felt all enthusiastic and decided to build another. The last couple of builds has been LWB´s so this time it is SWB time.
First I built the balldiff and replaced the original spacer with a sleve and a bearing -...
