Help Please
I usally hang in the AE buggy forum but was needing some help. Can anyone tell me what type of car this is? Thanks in advance.
Remember it's either a runner or a shelfer. Everything else is just parts.

Re: Help Please
no it's not; the red chassis indicates it's a clone

Re: Help Please
There are a lot of optima clones out there...but based on the motor plate design, I'd say this was an optima.
Re: Help Please
You can tell it's a genuine Optima by the broken shock collars....even the bad clones had better quality shock collars than the real Optima red ones. I'm with the the iffy anodizing real Optima brigade (not that those 5 were lonely).

Update on this post...the car had red Marks-a-Lot on it and it wipes off fairly easily. I put it on the Bay because I'm not a big Kyosho fan. Thanks again for the help!
