This brings back alot of memories, the last RC I owned back in the day was a Turbo Optima Mid SE that I bought brand new. I need to find the pics of it and scan them, they aren't that flash pics but still.
I did mine as per box art, and it did have the 240ST motor with it from new.
I always thought it was odd that it did not have the adjustable turnbuckles like the Turbo Mid
I think I will do a SWB Mid shelfer at some point in addition to the other projects.
I used the mechanical speed controller for some time and it worked quite well but was glad to move to an ESC when funds permitted
What I would love to see is a Saddle pack SWB chassis that looks decent, I guess just a shortened version of the Kyosho LWB one
