i totally agree with you mark, that's the last time i will run that car like that... its just not designed for that much speed... but i wish i had a vid of it taking a curve at that speed... it just looks awesome... you guys know i love Optimas and seeing one hit 50 mph and still have some juice in ...

Check this out guys... a friend lend me a gps so i could clock the Optima Mid, well.. i did two warm up passes and was around 30-35 mph not hitting full throttle... so decided it was time for a full blast run.. got the car up to some speed and pushed the trigger all the way full... looked awesome......

Here is a pic of the set up... Ezrun 9t 60A set with correct fan upgrade installed , 11.1 25C traxxas Lipo batt.

i think i over did it with the brush-less set up... This thing is super fast, actually is uncontrollable after half throttle... and today i got super mad cuz it got out of control at high speed and flipped a few times roadrashing my brand new Optima mid wheels

SWEET!!! Love it...

Nice work... i did one not to long ago.

Hey guys... i finally finished my Optima mid after a few months of work, i received my EzRun today witch makes it a step closer to running this buggy, i need some suggestions on a 2.2 wheel set for this buggy since i really don't want to run the stockers, here are some pics... http://i164.photobucke...

Thanks guys... Mark!!! long time... hows it been brother?

I have been a bit busy but i make time now and then to work on this car... this is where am at... http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u24/rubeneg123/GEDC0365.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u24/rubeneg123/GEDC0366.jpg those are not the correct size tires for the front but will do for now... st...

Nice runner !!! What wheels are those ? Are they 2.2 ? I love the bumper mod...

ok, i have found that the car is in pretty good shape... so far... its missing the inner front tire "sleeves" that go inside the tire itself, i guess thats why the tires are so loose in the front rims and also the shock collars are mostly done... other than that its in very nice shape, i j...

Looks like it was ran a few times, the tires are not that worn out... I dont know what im doing with this one yet but a brushless setup sounds good, one of the shock collars is broken but i gues ill order a set from pargu2000... I will inspect the car real good and let you guys know whats up...
