Re: Turbo Optima 2019 re-release in “boring” box art colors

The car looks great. I just ordered mine and it should be here by the weekend. :) Thanks for the info on the stickers and masks.... I actually just watched the ONE guy on YouTube who chronicled his TO rere build, and I could see that he painted the center of the body red, but it appeared the side po...

First one I ever had... 2019 Turbo Optima re-re build

This car was the unicorn that I could never have. It came out when I was 13, and there was no way my parents would cough up the money to get it for me. I also had strict rules in my house to focus on school and baseball so I couldn't even get a job to fund the cause. But fast forward to today, this ...

Re: First one I ever had... 2019 Turbo Optima re-re build

Night 4 progress. Steps 17 and 18. Short night. Didn't get a chance to start as early as I wanted to. Plus lining up steering knuckles is a time-consuming pain in the a$$.

Re: First one I ever had... 2019 Turbo Optima re-re build

OK, so the car is almost finished... This is all that I could finish without the electronics being here yet. I went ahead and put the tires together but haven't glued them down. 20190930_223345.jpg Then I took my time (for the first time ever) to really trim the body out properly. 20190930_223119.jp...

Re: First one I ever had... 2019 Turbo Optima re-re build

And then here are the final final pics after applying all the decals. Funny, the instruction manual actually contains a guide on where to place everything to match the box art, BUT they actually miss a couple of them.... so keep a keen eye if you want to match the box art. 20191007_180623.jpg 201910...

Re: ** Build of the Month Contest - November 2019 ** - Winner- works92

Here's my Kyosho Turbo Optima 2019 Re-release that I just finished. This build was very nostalgic for me because I just couldn't get this car when it first came out, and I was only 13. I couldn't get enough money for it, and couldn't get my grades good enough to win it outright. I used to covet this...
