Tested the car today . The durangos (dingos) were there. At first the mid handled great. It took the rough stuff well but then handling started to deteriorate .It was like it wasn't tracking straight very well, I had to make major corrections while the car is supposed to be going straight, then it a...

I'm rather interested in either blue nylon or the alloy. Maybe its worth looking into making the pivot block a separate piece and maybe having the gearbox divided in a front and rear half like a Lazer. That and carbon side plates would make it much stronger I notice your bulkhead has the extra hole...

Would that be nylon or alloy? I would buy a couple at that price. Have you looked into a design similar to what oosh did for the lazer i.e. carbon sides and alloy cantre piece? that would in complete hard blue, white or black nylon. I imagine it would be more expensive if alloy. But alloy isn't a b...

You make a good point, I guess the level of interest would be equivalent to that for the CNC layshaft. Are you considering doing gearbox cases, or the front one in particular? We must continue the quest for the ultimate Optima Mid, even though there is barely any mid DNA left in our creations Yes I...

Yeah I want atleast one. That's better than the vintage ones I have as its a direct copy of the original unlike the ones I have. I will be getting it anodised gold and putting it on the Turbo Mid SE-X. If the 21st Century Mid wasn't done I'd put it on that. I wonder if a Lazer bulkhead and upper de...

That turned out amazing And now my next question, how can I get my hands on one of these? Wow that was quick. I could make them, but making one was pretty expensive, in the territory of U$50. If I could get 10 guys who wants this I could bring down to $40 shipped. You want one ? This is just in tim...

Very keen to see how the aluminum mount looks, will you have more than one made? http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x87/alcyon2sp/20140319_160404_zps3ca43eb5.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x87/alcyon2sp/20140319_160357_zpsc4de24d8.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x87/alcyon2sp/2014031...

I had this too, I wonder where is mine ? I must rummage through my mags when I get home. I do have my 1993 and 1995 tower hobbies catalog though.

For now, I only asked for one, I can make more if there is demand. I think everyone who runs their mid hard need an alloy upper mount as the threads in the plastic seem to be very weak and strip quickly.

Just tested my car on road today and i hear some clicking noises as if the belt is skipping. Upon returning home i inspected the car closely. I placed one hand behind the rear shock tower and the other in front and proceed to tug and the push the ends. Sure enough..there was movement and the culprit...

I would like to have this but its not there anymore.

Run or keep ?

Is it just my eyes or is your front width too wide ?

I think the car is super stable, it turns great, and handles bumps very well. I plan on machining new towers front and rear that will be a little more durable. Right now the cars sits on the shelf beat and broken. When I get back to the us in the next few months, the car will get a new shell and ne...

Long time since I updated this one. I was able to get the steering under control but it is still not quite to my liking yet. I have a strange feeling the bellcranks I used are the culprit. I do have a set of the A&L bellcranks that I will use in the car. Looking at the design of the current bel...
