I have an original restored black arm RC10GT (black pan)....are those more generic than the white arm models?

great info guys....appreciate it!

The slipper and open white Robinson gear just look titties!

Starting an Optima Pro build...with help from "The Diamond One". This what i am working with, a Turbo Optima from ebay....real decent example. It had a few things i didn't notice (1) cherry LeMans 240s. cut the comm but needed nothing else...runs strong, 27,500rpm @ 7.2v zero degrees timin...

That thing would compete with anything made today! F

Lunchbox.....its a no brainer!

UPDATE: we will be using the motor in pics....the 480spa came today....got railroaded! its got a 27turn stock armature in out of who knows what....this blows

I had an Optima right when itgot rere'd in 16' and i raced it outdoors and on carpet, alot of running and i never wore any out. I sold it few yrs ago☹ so i cant look at it. But I do have two 80's Turbo Optimas i bought used and restored, neither had worn pins

Damn son! craps getn real!

question from Nitro Brute thread: The trannys are quite a bit different on my Nitro Brute vs your Big Brute. Yours just has a pinion gear/counter gear/differential gear. Mine has the input shaft coming in the back with a ring/pinion setup changing the direction of the gearing....big difference. I do...

not my pic but wish i had a "red prince"

Also not sure outside of the US, but my take on this would some variation of these: 1. Worlds graphite kit 2. TQ10 3. B2 Mainly the short production kits and unique rare parts that separated them from all the others making them harder to replicate from parts (worlds graphite chassis, tq10 chassis/s...

so classic!

Using the Y should be ok....depends on what esc u have and how many amps the bec in is.
