Kyosho Turbo Optima Mid SE eBay wreck soon to become my Turbo Mid Restore

[DanB4]

Hi Guys,

I received this sorry sight today but at least it came with a decent condition 240st motor, was that standard issue with the Turbo Mid SE?

I'm going to buy lots of replacement bits and you'll get a pic in a few weeks of the finished result....

Need to swap these platinum shocks for golds somehow. Anyone interested?

Is it just as dirty under the lid? I might be interested in the shocks? But not to swap, just to buy. Let me know if you would like to sell at some point and maybe we can have a deal?
I look fwd to seeing this again once you finish restoring it

Yeah, my se came with a 240.

What does the mechanical speedo look like?

Hope to see the tranformation soon!

This is what greeted me under the shell



Already binned the random undertray.
Wheels and body on eBay as we speak.
Bought a new chassis and top deck.
Have new wheels.
Bought new belt.
Bought new gear and belt covers.
Need the proper shock towers as it has the metal mid ones on it.
Lots of cleaning to do. Lots of rust and cobwebs!

Can't do anything til end of August as I'm on holidays at the moment.
