If an Optima Mid Re Re is coming out, does that mean a Turbo Optima Mid SE Re Re might be following it?

I just hope Kyosho maintains Optima comparability with the "Slipperkupplung Poop":

This is my special build of the Tamiya Avante “Tokyo Chrome Special” TCS 2022. It is art and engineering on wheels. The foundation is a meticulously built 2011 reissue Tamiya Avante that goes along with a collectible 30th anniversary 2018 Avante chrome body from Japan. Click on the photo for higher ...

Here’s what I’ve been up to lately. I jump around from one money pit to another. I can’t afford to do multiples at a time.

I've kept my order as well but we may not be finished with this. Now, my Order Information page includes the following statement: " You will be asked to confirm any items still on back order on Apr 12 2022. " Not sure what's significant about Apr 12th but whatever. It's just the next date...

In between waiting for Bondo to dry, and then primer to dry, and then removing primer and re-Bondo’ing, then re-primering, and rinsing and repeating, I did a quick refresh of the Frog. I have never worked on a Frog before so had no idea the difference between the originals and Re-Res. From assembly,...

As planned, I applied the same method for the rear tyres... https://i.imgur.com/DpC53Ic.jpg https://i.imgur.com/6OOw9QX.jpg https://i.imgur.com/BoXrQZd.jpg There is still a lot of things missing: - few pivot balls - shocks - Air scoop, bodyshell, roof and wing And I will need to have a look at the r...

I made the HB faster tonight because now it has a "Sport Tuned" motor. Don't know what this means, but it must mean sportier somehow. The can is ground at the edges, and it is up against the body, but it fits! The body actually centers, although as seen, literally resting on the motor. The...
