looks like he took more of a look from mr jangs ultimate rustler

bumps are full of little bumps within them, without bumps in the bumps they are not a bump!

nice! doing up my bandit for racing, glad to see you (kinda) are as well!

Any updates? I'd like to see some pictures pics in the first post driving impressions: well, it was interesting. i have alot of work ahead of me but i think at the end of the day i have a proof of consept, it worked, and it worked decently. my shock setup was standard fair from its short time as an...

my optima mid has too much steering, no understeer at all Optima Mid is a totally different beast to the original Optima series. :) I just noticed you mentioned Optima Mid in your first post, not the title...my mistake for overlooking that. the rear motor optima did have that issue, so atleast your...

one kinda off topic thing, may i point out the tf4 looks suspiciously like a gen 2 hpi rs4? that car really paved the way for touring cars didnt it?

the carbon ones seen to be cheaper where i look

i should get a lazer zx chassis to do this with, cheaper than the optima mid lwb chassis, and fits quite well according to you also, see this zx chassis, bit pricey but may be worth its weight in gold. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kyosho-LAW54-Aluminum-HD-Main-Chassis-Conversion-Set-Lazer-ZX-6-/131574784...

Welcome! The wheel hexes can slip by all means but if seated properly and mating surfaces are in good shape the friction fit can be quite impressive. one mistake peeps often make with them is trying to seat them using the wheel. If you want a real good seat use a metal spacer and wheel nut to tight...

The hexes shouldn't slip on the taper shaft if the wheel is tightened with nut, strange :? They do indeed do that, with modern power. I switched over to hexes with cross-pins on all my modded Optimas except one because of this. Perhaps that's why you never see friction-fit hubs on RC cars anymore. ...

age does odd things to cheap metal

i installed the JC Racing 2.2 wheels for the kyosho optima, but i now have another issue. the hexes are a press fit and my rear wheels are slipping and it bugs me. what cvd options are out there for a stock width optima mid? also while i'm at it any mods you guys think i should do for it that i have...
