Question Kyosho Turbo Optima Mid SE

An friend who gave up racing years ago has given me his old buggy.

It started life as a Turbo Optima Mid and then he added on the SE LWB conversion kit.

Only thing is he has somehow broken the chassis so options are either:

1. Get a new lower chassis plate sourced or made

or

2. Break the car for spares if anyone is interested?

Cheers, pics to follow....

You can get them from

www.beltcorp.com


but you cant say "i want an belt for the Optima mid LWB"
you have to order an 25,4 inch XL belt 3,5mm wide.

If you read the numbers on the belt you know what to get.

Default Dilemma

Ok guys had a good look at the car last night.

It started life as a Turbo Optima Mid, then the LWB conversion kit was added, then Lazer ZXR wishbones, hubs and body. It also has Schumacher Cougar red shocks on it not the original gold kyosho ones.

Is it worth investing in a new chassis and radio plate (top deck)? If I spend say £60 on CF chassis/radio plate would I get my money back when selling it?

Thanks,

Dan
