Brushless Optima Mid

[Chalkie]

I thought I'd post some pics of my Optima mid resto, the plan is to have a bit of vintage racing at silverstone with Adam and co.

The car started off as cheap ebay shed, not nice enough to be a shelfer so idea to run.






Things left to do are new shell, undertray,and wing. Belt and gear covers, some 2.2" wheels (anyone know whats best to keep the offsets right? I was thinking of trying ZX5 RTR ones as they share the ZX-R part No.s) new front driveshafts (again thinking of trying some ZX5 ones) maybe an improved slipper and a few random screws (m2.6? really? thanks Mr Kyosho ).

Guessing about a month or so for mine.

Could be interesting when we run them but I think the K car could have it

I used ZX5 CVDs on my Mid



Ignore the wheels they are Fastraxx and wrong offset. I have ZX5 wheels on the mid.

Cool, Zx5 CDV's it is, are the ZX5 wheels you're using the earlier dished ones? Do they have a similar offset as the seem to share part No.s with the ZX-R.

Nice thread

I'm doing a brushless ZX-R now but ultimately will do a brushless Mid also.

What's the part no of the ZX5 driveshafts you've used, are they a direct fit with no mods?

Cheers,

Dan
