It is really sweet and might have gotten my vote...

Are you planning to build it, or is it staying as parts?

Dadio doesn't want you getting in on his free Optima Mid. He had you knocked out of contention.

"Nerfing" is intentional side by side collision during racing. The NASCAR statement rubbin' is racin' is the stock car equivalent. Nerf bars and nerf wings are intended to prevent getting entangled with other vehicles during nerfing.

Rather than butcher the T2 motor plate I decided to make a new motor plate. I had something kicking around the garage that was just right for being sacrificial material.

Revolt on PC was also awesome.

Rear deck lid is open, presumably for so maintenance. My favorite car though.

That 70 tooth pinion is awesome. That's practically a spur gear.

....but I know this one is real. Can't fool me twice!

I've found that 1/4" pinstripe tape is very similar.

Finding a Trinity graphite pan chassis for an Ultima is probably the most difficult part to get. Factory Works has replica front and rear shock towers. Maybe they could do a chassis too.

The 1.6" rear size is what you're looking for. The Kyosho KYOOTT243M from the Optima (not turbo optima and not optima mid) is another option. KYOOTT243M. They are also used on the Javelin.

This will be the initial group getting measured. Most are used, but still straight. Measurements 1 through 9 refer to the graphic in the first post.

Yeah, I got straightened out.
