Re: Turbo Optima Re-Re Transmission
I took it out for the first off-road mission, and everything was great ... (though still too slow) Anyway, it looks like too much gunk got stuck in the belt drive area... Should there be that little opening? Any ideas for keeping more of the dirt out of there? I guess I'll just put a piece of tape ...

RC12L NIB
I just picked up this kit recently, NIB with the factory seal still intact. The questions is, Do I build it or not? Also, does anyone know where I can find an original body, I haven't had luck on my searches and nothing on ebay recently.

And more ebay junk
I might have a problem. I seen this scrap pile on the bay for $100 or best offer. I made an offer and they took it. The transmission and shocks are probably worth more than I paid for all of it. What I got: Most of it looks like typically late 10T parts. C stamp, T2 arms, Worlds bulkhead, and black ...

Turbo Optima mid SE
Resurrecting what may be the worst, drug through the mud, rode hard put up wet, beaten, thrashed, trashed, bent and broken mid ever sold on the internet. Caked with what looks to be sugared clay baked into every nook and cranny that an rc car has. Broken parts were probably replaced but it looks as ...

Re: RC12L NIB
What do you mean by "build it?" If you want something AE 12ish to run around the driveway, there are cheap 12s out there to buy and build and run. I will sell you one if it will keep you from building this one just to run around. If you want to build a "shelf queen" that is buil...

Re: Turbo Mid Score
We're very much hoping that you're okay after the earthquake. 99% certain this is an original wing. Holes appear to be about 27mm back. Please chime in when you can and let us know how you are doing, okay? Awesome, thanks! We didn't even feel the earthquakes. The Tsunami warnings blasting out of ev...

Re: Turbo Optima mid (SE???)
IMO...the Gold shocks were the best not to discredit anyone, cause 99.999999% agree but Me and "the diamond one" feel the Platinums are the best in the business. Although Chuck, those shocks have special tiny o-rings on the shaft as part of the variable dampening system, plus other stuff....

Re: Turbo Optima mid (SE???)
Yep Chuck, cant wait to see progress on this one. PLEEEAASSE go box art when you do the body. And you will need the sway bars if u go SE paint. The turbo mid se was definelty one of my all time favorite cars. The platinums are the best shocks ever also, so classic. That mega motor will work for now,...
