Cant wait for the paint to go on! The Optima Mid Custom was my first real RC car, brings back happy memories! It used to be powered by a Trinity 'Monster Horsepower' stock motor and people always thought I had modified it in some way, but I hadn't. Me and my dad just built the car properly, everything nice and free, the car was soooo fast.

Love the Mid SE too, good work there!

It will be painted soon, I just haven't figured out how to paint the rear wing. I didn't have much patience when I did the SE. :lol:

Dave, the Mids are special. They're not going anywhere. :wink:

Dude,the best way to paint Kyosho wings,is to get a friend to spread the outer edges of the wing apart as far as possible and just lay down lots of light coats of paint.
Works for me. :)
