Hi black pinstriping is tape. Maybe black pinstriping with paint clearly is very hard.

Very nice box art scheme. I was going to ask the same question about the black pin stripe.

Is the driver painted from the inside or the outside? I haven't painted my driver yet but I will paint it on the outside because I would think the colors would be subdued because of the tinted plastic.

Looks like its never been run!
Oh, wait...

Excellent specimen. Hang on to it.

Thanks for posting the pictures of the Turbo Optima and Optima. Paint is definitely top-notch. I also really like the drivers with the simple scheme contrasting the smoked polycarbonate. You need an authentic driver to pull that off, the reproductions that Marwan makes are clear polycarbonate.

i have the turbo optima instuctions the optima ones must place the resistors in a different local the turbo shows them on the motor guard

Yes, the standard Optima resistors are placed on the circular cutout of the left rear chassis plate...but caught too much dirt so they moved it (without changing the chassis).

thanks ayk i guess my inability to read all the instructions (or look at the Japanese symbols ) saved me from cutting my body

Hi!
I also love Marwan's great reproduction bodies. the body is Marwan's but driver is original.
