Post Looking for Kyosho Turbo Optima Parts

Hi,

I just got a Turbo Optima chassis and is missing the following:

1)Chassis protector/bottom skid plate.
2)Correct Le Mans 240S motor. It currently has a good condition Le Mans 240SB.
3)Front bumper.
4)Stabilizer bars, front and rear.

Any help would be appreciated!

Myles on ebay (Vintage-Kyosho) has the stabilizer set.

The most challenging of those parts to find will no doubt be the front bar (well, a new one anyway).

Just keep an eye on ebay and eventually you'll find what you're looking for, or you could try placing a wanted add in the trader section.

Thank's Keith!!!
I'll go ahead an order the stabilizers.
The front bumper does not have to be new, good used condition will do.

Do you guys think I should keep the Le Mans 240SB or go with the factory look?
The SB does have a machined end bell...

Hi Nick,
Actually I dont have the buggy with me yet, I bought it thru ebay and the motor pics looked fine. I have to wait until it arrives to be 100% sure of motor's condition.
The plan with this buggy is restoring it to it's best factory condition, but I have to say that I am tempted to give it the "celebration treatment" like Naushad did.
