All parts are cleaned, let's start a Kyosho Turbo Optima Mid build.

Doesn't the shocktower go behind the bulkhead? I built it so many different ways I forgot how it's officially done

It goes in front.

Thats correct it goes in front, thats why it needs to be two pieces rather than one like a Lazer

I love watching a Mid take form from a pile of parts, brings back memories from back in the day when I used to strip mine now and then for a full clean and lube

Looks great, reminds me of my own rebuilds a couple of years ago.

[phoenix]

Got the front ball diff today.

[phoenix]

Nearly completed it tonight.

THAT IS SUPER CLEAN AND NICE LOOKING, LOVE THE CARBON FIBER ALL AROUND, I am cutting my own CF parts from 1.5mm sheet, should ne nice

[phoenix]

Thx for your feedback ron. The parts are all original btw, e.g. no CF parts, maybe they look a bit like that under the light conditions.

Moved on today and selected a motor, anyone knows what wind these were?

Once again Phoenix I love this build as well.

Your pics are superb.

I am tempted to put it on my site , But I would like to have a picture of the model completed with body and wing.

That would be great!


Thanks.
