My Optimas

[sludgeguts]

Hello all. Signed up ages ago and lurked ever since. After reading some of the threads in this section it's inspired me to contribute some bits and pieces. If you like what you see here then I'll be more than happy to share more of my vintage collection.

There appears to be a lot of love for the legendary Kyosho Optima and Optima Mid so this is where I'll start. I have three in running or restored state with one more to be restored and two more on the way.

First up is my '7up' Optima. This was a state when I got it and I very nearly binned it, it was that bad. It's saving graces were straight chassis, good gearboxes and the optional belt drive was installed. Found the bits I needed cheaply and now it's a great runner.

The Optima Pro came to me as you see it. Really very nice indeed. Very clean chassis. One for the shelf.

The Mid is a runner and came to me as is. Runs great and gets used regulary.

I'll hopefully be updating this thread with more pics soon
