Kyosho Optima Mid - SWB/Carbon/Runner
Hi guys,
I paused my restore projects for awhile and worked on my Optima Mid runner project. I have chosen to build my runner based on the SWB platform. I want a shorter car because of the layout of our local track.
So far I have been working on making carbon fiber parts with my dremel. It took relatively long time to craft them that way but I have no other tools. I bought the fiber plates from Hongkong and China and the car is made of 1.5/2.0/2.5mm thick material.
Let me show you some pictures of my progress so far. Chassis have been assembled for testing to see if I have missed something (which I have)
I personally think it look cool, like a stealth plane sort of. It certainly needs some bling colors later on
