The "take me to you leader" shot is very funny!

Is that a 10.5mm Fish Eye from Nikon?

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,...

Congrats on the fine end result.

Body is not that bad - with the decals applied, it looks like it´s supposed to

So I have never done a build thread before, I usually forget to take pictures as I tend to work in spurts - aka get distracted and buy new projects instead of completing existing ones.

Case in point, instead of buying the body, decals and tires to...

I'm finally getting some time to work on a project that I've wanted to do since about 1989. I actually got started on it in 2011, but life got in the way. Six years later, I'm back at it. The delay is probably a good thing, as the project is more...

That project is so cool... Thanks for he video above, the car is much quieter than I would have expected. Congrats on a job well done.

Bit of a scary moment at 0:13 too :mrgreen:

Looking forward to the next iteration of that car :!:

Thank you!...

Hey guys I just got the Optima I have been looking for. I got it for a decent price. Little more than I wanted to spend but was not totally unreasonable, Much less than what they have be going for on eBay lately. This is the first one I have owned...

The rough edges look more like the overspray film curling up...but yes, a Dremel can help remove any burrs or roughness along the edges. I actually use a pointy cone-shaped Dremel bit to make holes for body posts. It's much neater than trying to...
