Re: vintage racers in north florida?

I agree that the track in Tallahassee is tough on vintage cars. I am north of you in South Georgia and I wish there was a better option around the region.

Re: Javelin re-re cage

Is a Turbo Scorpion rere wing mount a direct fit for the missing mount?

Javelin re-re cage

I am seeing the Javelin re-re roll cages on Ebay. I see 4 colors (orange, green, white, and yellow). Has anyone bought one and tried to fit it onto a vintage Optima/Javelin? Does it fit? I assume it doesn't in the back, but how much modification is needed? Thanks!

Wow, thanks GoMachV, I did have a Losi as a project at one point.

Identify these A&L Steering Set-ups

Please help me identify these vintage A&L steering kits. I believe one for the Ultima and one for the Optima Mid? Which one is which? Or, is one for the RC10?

Thanks for the help!

Re: Anyone got a Mini Z Optima?

MugenBulldog is correct. There are issues you will encounter that are not in the manuals that come with the car. There is a "Technical Guide" free in pdf from Kyosho that I have had to go to several times. I have it printed out now.

Re: Anyone got a Mini Z Optima?

Kyosho recently released the VE (lipo and brushless) version of the mini-z buggy. I see it is available in Japan right now. This is something I may go for and pass the old one to my daughter. Did anyone get one for Christmas? The VE is chassis only, but I would make sure to the Optima body on it.

Re: Kyosho re releases

I am really hoping for a Javelin rollcage and the Ultima. I wonder if they will do Turbo variants for the Optima and Ultima?

Re: 2016 optima transmission gears fit original

That is good to know, thanks. So, I would need to get a re-re gearbox, gears, and slipper to upgrade the gearbox with the new parts. I see the parts around, but that would be three different purchases and it adds up. I am really hoping they re-release the Javelin. I would use the gearboxes and gears...

Re: 2016 optima transmission gears fit original

Isn't this asking about putting the new 2016 Optima gears (and chain or belt) into an original Optima? I am interested in this as well. What parts (specifically for belt drive) would drop into an Optima runner? Has anyone done this?
