Beatiful! I owe one myself but I still keep on liking all of them! Beautiful model!

If you go back two videos in your list, you will see you have installed the TRAXXAS metal servo horn upsidedown. This is why it is catching on the servo mount. Taking it off and turning it around (flip top to bottom, not back to front) means your panhard bar will also be at the correct geometry too.

I have the same plans for the front mounted Hobbywing ESC, to help with weight balance. I'm changing the standard plastic plate between the front fenders for a metal one, and will mount the ESC using a Thermal Pad to make the plate act as a heatsink. Hopefully I can get aluminium brackets to hold the ESC in place! Going to open the OEM front grill to improve cooling to the fan, which I will add an aluminium cowl to and install aftermarket photoetch grill to give some protection from the front.

Love it!!

Hello, first off thanks for sharing your RC ! Are you moving ahead with the brushless conversion ? If you are, keep in mind the massive torque it may produce compared to a vintage nitro buggy engine. I would recommend a slipper clutch still be utilized if you have not thought about it already. If you did not order already , Marwan rc online store may have a body. The circuit 20 series bodies look promising, but you might want to double check the wheelbase and track width. Yeas, it can be a pain with delivery times and purchasing online - but at least the selection is seemingly infinite ! Nice job on the screw replacements , something so simple - can end up taking so long and really not so simple - I admire the dedication !

Hi from Australia! I had one of these in the 80’s. Got it for Christmas as a consolation to the Tamiya Hornet. But it was such a great car and I have amazing memories of it from boyhood! Had so much fun with it. Even back in the 80’s mine twitched by itself too when the RX was not turned on. The sounds and characteristics of yours running was exactly the same. Thanks for bring back some awesome memories.

The front end suspension of the VW Bubble comes to mind

Good Job 🤣but try the kyosho optima blue, yellow....ull Desperate by..im waiting for my new decals hahaha

That looks great to me. I'm getting ready to paint mine. Glad I saw this video cause I was going to trim mine before painting too.

Many fun memories from these. Awesome you still have it.

Awesome mate ....

Well, Tamiya PS paints are a Polycarbonate paint that etches into the plastic that is flexable and forms a strong bond to polycarbonate. Im a painter of 35+ years. Your paint ran away from the edges because you sprayed it on to wet/heavy. When you spray any paint, you only very lightly dust on the first coat and let it tack up for 15 min. Then a bit heavier for the second but still very light, let tack for 15 min. Then the third coat can be sprayed on a bit heavier but not to much, let tack. Then the forth coat you can put on a bit heavier to get the thickness and gloss you are looking for. When spraying under plastic, it does not matter about the forth step to get the gloss because the plastic up top is the gloss so all four coats or as many light coats you want will do 👍 The Tamiya PS-1 white is one of the toughest paint to lay down. But it's 100% top notch quality paint 👌

With new tires they sure do look more original👍👍👍 and the wheels are cool😍

Always love the optima wish I had bought one when I was younger and those Wheels look amazing on that car

Only problem I had is where the pin seems to be really loose and cause a bigger hole from the flapping about

They do fit you’re supposed to sand little nips down at the end they don’t rust

Hello my friend, new subscriber here. Love what I see. Cool channel, I’ll be looking back at more episodes. Check out our channel if ya get a chance. Have a great day ✌️

nice👍🏽

Give us full throttle..this car is the most beautiful rc car in the world..period

Hi! My Turbo Optima kit did not include the gold frame aluminum parts that seat in front of the rear tires. Where can I get those?

Awesome car!

I'm having big time problems with the upper and lower screws for the spindle backets rattling out of mine. despite using lock tight.

Parts difficult to find? But they just re-released it, didn't they? You mean true originals parts?

hello do you have the weight of the complete wheel metal rim and tire?

Wow look great..I’ve ordered a set rims

Is that a nitro buggy? I've never had one and am interested in knowing how it drives compared to electric. Looking forward to the restoration

I have a maxxum FF with original tires, I believe they are the same tires that came with the turbo optima, and early optima mid. I can take a picture if you'd like. they are the tires that came in the kit box. I replaced them soon after getting the car, but saved them

I have never had to adjust parts on a Tamiya kit in order to fit it properly. This is disappointing

Can you please tell me where you purchased those gold arms (front/rear)?

Thats cool! Do you have winter paddle tyres for it yet? Etela Savo here

Is there a metal axle housing for the middle axle?

You made putting the stickers on a lot hard than it really should be. If you use window cleaner sprayed onto the body to lubricate them, it gives you time to locate the stickers properly. Once you're happy with how they sit, wipe off the spray with tissue paper, it's so much easier. The back window louver section, I'd probably mask it up and paint it black since the decals don't cover it completely. Another good idea, seeing as the red decal will be different to whatever red paint you use, would be to use the lower red decals as masks and take them off after the white paint has been applied and then paint that section in the same red as the other red sections.

Awesome bro I need to get some single stage foams . Great truck

Nice and fast on high gear ⚙️ 😎👍

What kind of grease did you use?

nice 👍

Awesome video I had one in the early 90s chain driven 4x4. Greatings from Australia. You sound Dutch like my mum.

Nice brother can’t wait to see the finished project 😎 looking awesome

Cool upgrades looking forward to seeing what it looks like

nice 👍

Could you precise witch part number we must bought for the spur gear and pinion if we want to go with the same Le Mans motor? Thanks! it will be helpfull :)

Very nice, I would love to have this one too 👌 thanks for the tips also
