Turbo Optima MID SE

Post by mtbkym01 »

Hello everyone, fairly new to posting here, but seems like a very knowledgable and friendly community so I thought I might share my latest addition. This car became my "Eleanor" (Gone in 60 seconds 8) ) every time I got close to securing one, it would be "snatched" from my grasp. I've since ordered a body (also one for my Turbo Optima project) from marwanrc, and will update the thread with it complete later on. Anyway, on to the car itself. Feel free to comment as you see fit, regards, Kym

Very nice sample! It's still a mystery why Kyosho downgraded it with plain rods and a MSC mount.
Cheers

Yes, this one has been fitted with titanium turnbuckles, which are cool

Looks pretty clean mate. :D I'll have to get onto trimming/painting the body set for my SE soon.

What motor does it have?

Looks very nice

I have a soft spot for the SE as its the only NIC RC Car I owned 20 years ago after wanting one for an eternity

I recently built one up from scratch though its only loosely an SE now

Look forward to seeing progress
