Ultima/Optima Mid

[Momo5]

I got these two in a package deal. The Mid looks like it was only ran a few times...it seems to be all stock with the exception of Andys front arms and a Losi Xcellerator body. The Ultima, ran a little more but its still in good shape and all stock. I'm not sure if I'll keep them or not, but they look really cool.

[Mr. ED]

how does the optima mid look from the other side: where the gear cover sits?

[Momo5]

I'll take a pic of the other side when I get home tonight. The cutout job is a little rough near the tranny but its actually is a pretty good fit....just need to clean it up a bit.

Those are really cool! Interesting use of the XXCR shell on the Mid.

Does a stick pack fit in the width of that Losi body though? My guess is that it would e a little narrow... Looks good however - if it works, use it.

i dig that ultima, it looks like of like mine, but with red and yellow instead of solid red

You know I didnt even think about it with the battery in it. You're right, its gotta be too narrow. Heres some pics of the otherside. It didnt come with a gear cover, so I'll have to search for one..

[Mr. ED]

Should fit with saddle packs but you might have to cut your own chassis for it: with the cells closer to the center line than the orginal chassis had them. I agree that body looks super sweet on this car.

Is there a under tray fitting this Losi body?

[Mr. ED]

Good point, but the contours are nice straight line so you could cut some lexan sheet and fold up the sides, tape them together on the inside and run a velcro on the outside.

[Momo5]

Surprise surprise! A 6 cell fits underneith this body. Its tight, but it fits! (thats what she said)

Anyways, can you guys tell me what this part is? It looks out of place..

[tim.sanderson]

I'm 99.999999% sure that's where the MSC was mounted. That's why there was a bubble on the car's right side window.

[Mr. ED]

exact, some other versions did not come with a mechanic speed controler and had a much tighter black frp part instead.

[tim.sanderson]

Yup, page 16 of the Mid SE manual shows it.

Here's a better shot, shows the MSC and servo mounted to the chassis.
