"I really don´t know why - perhaps I´ve got too many Optima´s"

Is it possible to have too many Optima's? If so, is 16+ Optima's something to be concerned about?

Another beautiful car Dennis. The Protech body seems to fit the chassis nicely.
So, I still have 10+ optima's to collect before I'm normal.

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...

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...

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.

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.

Lots of my friends like...

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.

I bought this a few months back, ran it for a bit, but my intention was always to strip it down and re-build it. I know there's a million Optima threads on here, so I apologise in advance, I posted this thread over on Tamiyaclub where I'm a regular,...
