doesn't surprise me that you found some needles in the haystacks

in the french speaking world, we had this one:
("tous tes reins" means "all of your back", which is a play on words for "Tout-terrain" - this one means "offroad" )

Hello Turbo Optima Mid fans, collectors, and parts people....

-more pics.

Hello Martin,

I have some old AMTs from 86! Here I can show you a very rare pic from the new TAG from Michael Kleinschmidt (DEMON Germany). The Race is DM 1987 from EIS Schmiden.
The pic is from the AMT 11/1987.

Er..JamieB you are the Tomy guy. The only guy on a relentless mission over the last few years to unearth all matters of Tomy goodness.

Martin, if there is one source you need it's Jamie!

The front steering knuckles got an upgrade too with additional steering limiters and thicker steering arms . Older version on the left. https://i.imgur.com/LwkREtwl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/YnLFtIll.jpg There may be a fifth material for the diff crown gear as well , not great pictures but the later p...

Rear hubs. Early on the left and later on the right. The top arm mount is taller on the newer version.

The boxes themselves. Early (much prettier) on the left and later on the right. Interestingly, both these kits were identical inside. Both had steel gears and all the parts were later versions.

That is very cool!

I hadn't seen one of those bodies in a while. I remember they had a popular run here in town BITD. Very cool chassis also.

The Schumacher chassis is approx ~1/2" shorter than standard chassis. by running the car with the nose plate forward as it is in the pictures you are at standard length.

Now that's cool!

Well it pays to read the fine print. Maybe one of these years, I will remember to VOTE FOR TWO entries... I went straight to scarfing eyeloads of all the contestant's bitchin' rides

I like those Traxxas shocks though.

I'm usually the same. However, I did make an exception for the Ultramold Hybrid.

Even my cars that I have no intention of actually running, are fully functional.
