First up, my track runner Tomahawk, armed with Le Mans 240 ST, modded to hex hub, using Hobao 1/10 ST wheels and tires, front wheel is Tamiya Wild One's dyed black with Tamiya tires anbd home made front bumper .I believe this runner is of later version, it has the Turbo Scorpion's bigger red shocks,...

Here's a group shot, foursome!

nice , i wonder if all the gears are exactly the same and if it has a harden final pinion

didn't have a chance to test at track, it's very wet due to heavy rain last night , tested on road , it just flip ha ha , wild willy had to throttle very slowly , the clutch engage very quickly even with 2 O rings , before i can test with 1 ring, it rain again

fix the broken gear cover with plastic bottle cap, hope it'll hold up .

yes i know it's probably a bad idea to use the 6900, but heck i'm very curious on how optima can handle it , perhaps i'll just run a pack or 2 to see how it holds up,not going to torture it the whole day. the 240sb is one fast motor but has to be geared low , i tried gearing it at 14t and it lacks t...

Currently the black motor is a team power stock motor, which is similar to tamiya sport tune. I intend to use Mamba Max Pro 6900 BL motor,I think its way overkill for such an old car, but I'm just curious on how Optima will handle such power. I'm using the original optima solid shaft center gear. Go...

I had been searching the net for photos of how the Torque limiting clutch installed and couldn't find any, so now I have it already, thought I post a pic of the clutch pinion installed, pardon me for the broken gear cover :oops: I think this 1 is made of steel as I have another which look like it's ...

wow i was watching that auction too , i thought it was just with after market arms , shell and rear guard , never knew such clone exist , thanks for sharing it here :) i think the buggy is in very good condition just need some cleaning up , and from the photos i can't see the chain , could it be bel...

Today my 2 buddies and I had a great run at the track, we did many jumps along with the modern buggies and had many mis shapes pop out parts,bended shock towers and motor guard,lost screws,but our oldies survived the tortures, here's a group shot at the end of the day

wow, 100 bucks well spent! I'll offer you 120 for everything? just joking

Once I learned the origin of the Al Ernat driver name, it even made me appreciate it more.

Curios, What's the story behind the driver name?

Those wheels were also sold under the Imex name. There were several colors: chrome gold blue red All of the wheels were chrome but were coated with a transparent color. With a little bit of time, you can remove the tint to show the chrome finish. I had a set on my optima also. Thanks for the info ,...

Can you spot the difference? And no I'm not referring to the paint scheme or the bumper

And the track runner, has lower ride height for more stable handling, and installed with the tamiya sand scorcher ball diff for better cornering
