Racing a 2016 Optima

Quote

Post by maineyak » Tue Feb 27, 2018 2:10 pm

Hi there,

Does anyone race a 2016 Optima? Just wondering what I should do to mine to make it competitive?

I heard that people move the servo to the rear so the lipos can be moved forward? Is that correct?

Thanks

M.

Good question. I'm planning to run mine in an exhibition race in the near future, so I'd be interested in this too.

Maybe a simple question, but one that gets conflicting answers. Has anyone yet put the new gears in and older car? I dont mind if some machine work is involved but I dont need to spend $$$ on parts that have no way of fitting :)

Yes, it is way easier to go that route:

This set was done in the spirit of the GPM conversion and thus I haven't done any real engineering just copied what was once produced. I don't see these as a race winning mod or...

I haven't updated this in a while

I had Derrick (Durb69) cut the alloy motor plates. He knocked em outta the park! I figured out how to keep the gear cover with very little grinding. I've braced up the right side where GPM left off the bracket. I...

Sadly, it is apparent that this run will not get close to the minimum number of units needed to make this run: 1st day's total is always most of the sales, and I cannot justify the investment of time and resources needed to make these happen. I am...

I had a chance to dig out some boxes of goodies over at Barry Raborn's house last night. Barry was the owner of both Bullet and Raborn Racing products. I took a few pictures but they aren't the greatest since they are from a cell phone. Anyways,...

That truck is sitting at Barry's house now. It wouldn't do all that well on a touring track. The motor is offset left and up high. It is really intended to be only a dirt car. I have drastically updated it to bring it up to modern levels. Barry even...
