Why thank you for that warm welcome.

pends if you want your car looking 80's or 2010 i guess. pends what kind of motor/battery/electronics your tossing in there. Thanks for your reply, but I'm not sure what the era has to do with choosing the best guage & kind of wire for performance. As to the second part of your reply, I will ev...

This is a question aimed at the performance fanatics who don't forget the devil's in the details. :twisted: What wiring do you use, from your power connector-to-ESC, and from ESC-to-motor? 16 gauge or 18 gauge?

I've seen that, but is it hardened or just a stock repro?

And going back to one of my other questions, what is recommended to more properly seal the chain guide cover to the chain guide?

Do any of you have suggestions for a body for my Turbo Optima other than the stock T.O. body, which I don't really care for? I *love* the original Optima body but it's too narrow to fit an 8.4V 7-cell battery. Have any of you tried other bodies and found they fit quite well? Cheers!

That's what I call a tight wiring setup! I appreciate it when people put in the time & effort to keep the "cable clutter" to a minimum. Beautiful!

And here are some progress shots. I don't want to bore you with all the details of the "restoration"--which isn't really the right word, as I'm the original owner. But things are looking good with 2 evenings of work well into the wee hours! I was originally just going to be lazy and clean ...

robf, I'm modernizing a Turbo Optima that I've had since purchasing it new as a normal Optima in the mid-80's, and hopped it up to a T.O. a year or two later. Recently, I was trying to find aftermarket wheels on eBay by doing searches with "Optima" in the search, and was getting NOWHERE. W...
