Re: Recently acquired an Optima - seeking some opinions

Can someone with knowledge confirm for me: the pinion / spur for the Turbo Mid SE is 0.6 module / 32 pitch, correct? Hoping to make one more order of parts and add some electronics before I'm able to take it for a test drive.

Re: Recently acquired an Optima - seeking some opinions

I found a bumper and the battery holder on ebay, so those should be arriving sometime in the next week. I still need to source a lower belt cover and spur gear cover.

Re: Recently acquired an Optima - seeking some opinions

Have an 80 tooth spur gear, and 75mm tire diameter. Looks like a 22 or 23 tooth pinion would put me in the neighborhood of 1 for my rollout ratio? Feel free to double check the math for me.

After a spring that included sick kids, sick adults, sick dogs, a yellowjacket infestation in the basement, and a backlog of toys in need of repair that cluttered up my workbench, I finally found a couple hours to work on the Optima. I removed ...

Re: Recently acquired an Optima - seeking some opinions

Here is the bottom side of the stock chassis, it has some scuffing but seems to be in decent shape. Oh and countersunk holes as several guessed there might be http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss186/doublfelix/IMG_20160304_162044_9591_zps64imw6vk.jpg The stock wheels and tires I referred to in my o...

Recently acquired an Optima - seeking some opinions

Hi all, I've been lurking on the forum for a little while after acquiring this car at a swap meet trying to learn about it, but posting a topic seems like the most direct way for me to actually make a plan and get working on it. I've been out of RC for 20 years or so, but my almost 5 year old son go...
