Another Turbo Optima Mid, this time a proper runner
For this one I decided to be different and paint her white - I have a new box art yellow Turbo Mid and I'm pleased I went for the white, I reckon it looks cool!
The car came to me with a new genuine Kyosho shell and genuine decals - usually I'd sell these and buy repro but to celebrate the build of our off road track here in Muscat I sprayed up the shell and whacked on the decals (felt wrong but I did it anyway). You may notice that the front OT90's are narrow, these have been cut down from the standard wide wheels and I'm running old W-5033's on them...but I also have some wides if I ever want to compare differences in handling.
I left an old rear wing fitted in the pics, didn't want to waste the original wing decals on a tatty wing so am awaiting a new one to arrive which I'll spray and decal up.
The picture of the ground is what donuts look like with W-5033's/OT-66's!
I've installed an LRP IPC Digital ESC with a worn out Reedy Ti 11x2 and left the S148 in as it arrived.....such fun running her - I had my little girls with me so couldn't get great video but will soon and post the link , in the meantime here's a very short clip of me being a vandal:
