yes, one on each wheel, but not all 4 .I cant see it being all that effective, but again, i have never used them before.

There's no way you can get a car to accelarate in a straight line unless you block them completely

Might be fun to play with on this build. The more i dig the more cool little things i find were made for the optima.

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.

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...

I finally found a great off-brand upgrade for the stock Javelin/Optima/Turbo Optima rear arms. This mod is so cheap it's laughable, and will upgrade your rear control arms, dog-bones, and give you a slightly wider stance all at once.

First, you...

Last post

I don't think the wheelbase (front axle to rear axle) is changed much with this mod; if anything only a few millimeters. The track (left wheel to right wheel total width) is only increased by 10mm approximately, with a particular set of wheels.

I...

Tried a search but no luck. Looking for the actual paint colours (or very close alternatives) to paint up an Optima and Turbo Optima, both in box art. I guess what blue and yellow for the Optima (white is easy 8) ) and the red/orange for the Turbo....

Last post

Ahh, I remember the POLYCA colors. You can see some of them here. The black, white, red where probably the box art colors.

Do any of you have suggestions for a body for my Turbo Optima other than the stock T.O. body, which I don't really care for? I *love* the original Optima body but it's too narrow to fit an 8.4V 7-cell battery. Have any of you tried other bodies and...

Why didnt you buy the lazer zx-s shell from kamtec in the uk. Its also advertised on ebay. Its an optima shell with extra air slots and would be the better option.
Just eyeballing that shell, it almost looks more intended for an Optima Mid, as it...

Any thought about the Optima rerelease with latest hop ups such as clutch, gunmetal gear set for powerful brushless and lipo, ball diff with belt and few others, and up against other successful belt drive from the company?

Last post

I never owned any optima in the past or its derivatives. This is because I loved my tamiya /op up boomerang back in the time. I have bought the Kypsho Rocky for fun back in th mid 87 and drov n it for short period of time.

Hi all,

It's been a while... had to move house etc. blah blah blah!

Anyway, I've been fortunate enough to snag a really good Optima Mid Custom Special roller on eBay here in Australia. It'll go really well with the Turbo Scorpion that my parents...

Anyone know of a way to mount a wing to the back of an OG style Optima?

Last post

Here's a picture of the academy wing mounts mounted to the stock tower. I only used one screw and reamed the hole for the stabilizer.
