Re: belt conversion for chain driven optimas?

I am bumping this because I would love to know how the Optima 2016 handled this? Did the re-release belt drive do away with the pulley? (it seems to from the pictures I have seen)

Re: Where to buy screw sets??

I want to bump this because I never found screws for Hot Trick parts. I finally got back to working on this today and the Optima ones I have (new and old) don't work well with the Hot Trick parts. Are there any standard screw sets for rc?

Re: Optima Hot trick Project

i am working on an HT Optima RAM runner. I have always liked this car and I have read and re-read the old
Project Optima article featuring it in RCCA. Great pics!

Re: Where to buy screw sets??

Are there any screw kits like the one Highwayracer posted in a standard (not metric) set? I'm putting together a Hot Trick Optima and all my extra screws are from torn down Kyoshos or Tamiyas.

Re: Hot Tricks optima

Trinity sold Graphite chassis plate and towers for the Hot Trick Ram (Optima). Used them myself once upon a time![/quote]


Are there pictures of these Trinity parts anywhere? I didn't know they fit the Hot Trick Ram. I'd love to see what they looked like together.

Re: Optima for Vonats 2015

If the Optima runs in classic, then it competes with Grasshoppers and SRBs. But, these cars may use modern tires, but I assume the Optima (like the RC10) must use vintage tires, right?

The pics you linked are great.
