Re: Yet another Customised Optima Mid Custom Special

Cool stuff acyon. Just realized this was your buggy. Did you get your lipo location figured out? What type of track are you running this at ?

Turbo Optima Mid Freshly Built

The second gen of the Mid family would have to be my favorite. It had enough changes from the original to make it unique in my view. The upgrades included thicker anodized chassis, adjustable tie rods, front and rear swaybars, fiberglass shock towers, and a slick rear fiberglass brace as to say &quo...

Re: The rarest car in my fleet!
