My Optima Mid - project
Posted: Tue Dec 06, 2011 12:45 pm
Got hold of this Mid (favourite ever RC car), and plan to strip, & rebuild, replacing a few parts on the way.
It's in cracking shape, albeit very dusty! No broken parts at all. Pretty sure it started of as a standard Mid, but has UJ drive shafts all round, platinum shocks, different turnbuckles, and shock towers. It also came with alluminium wheels, and a large rear bumper fitted! There was also a Speedworks motor fitted (don't see many of those any more)
I have a NIP turbo chassis to use, and new top deck. Have also bought some new OT-66 style tyres to fit to original style plastic wheels and new shell/decals from Marwan RC (superb)
Looking forward to this one, as I'm pretty familiar with the Mids, unlike the RC10's and Yokomo I bought.
