Hello, my limiter nut on my turbo optima keeps unloosening and was wondering what strenght thread lock I should use? Also how tight should I reverse tighten the limiter nut?

I am missing the reverse thread nut that fastens the Optima limiter gear. Does anyone have a good online resource for finding these type of nuts? Am having a hard time finding a replacement. Thanks.

Ok, im your huckleberry,, going to go check!

Sorry folks. Not wanting to damage the screw or the shaft, I applied as much torque and pressure as I dared and nothing budged either way. I suppose figuring out which way that gear turns in the trans...

I was doing some ultra-low-speed house-driving tests with the Barney car last night and I'm having issues with the OT-74 limiter gear nut always coming loose. After a few seconds of forward/reverse just to test steering & the ESC, the car would stop...

Last post

I re-bolted it on with some thread-lock last night...you can tell the reverse-nut only goes on so far and then stops, so there's no point in really reefing on it. I didn't get around to reprogramming reverse on the ESC or testing it, yet...maybe...

This thread is about two Optima Mid models in the SWB segment. One Turbo Optima Mid and one Turbo Optima Mid SE being built side by side (those two yellow cars in the picture above).

Parts are taken from several mid cars I have in various shape....

The build thread still lives on here

I referred to it many times during my ongoing Turbo Optima Mid SE thread.

Thanks for hosting all of that! It is such a bummer when images go away and I appreciate you archiving posts like this.

I finally found a great off-brand upgrade for the stock Javelin/Optima/Turbo Optima rear arms. This mod is so cheap it's laughable, and will upgrade your rear control arms, dog-bones, and give you a slightly wider stance all at once.

First, you...

Last post

I don't think the wheelbase (front axle to rear axle) is changed much with this mod; if anything only a few millimeters. The track (left wheel to right wheel total width) is only increased by 10mm approximately, with a particular set of wheels.

I...

Do any of you have suggestions for a body for my Turbo Optima other than the stock T.O. body, which I don't really care for? I *love* the original Optima body but it's too narrow to fit an 8.4V 7-cell battery. Have any of you tried other bodies and...

Why didnt you buy the lazer zx-s shell from kamtec in the uk. Its also advertised on ebay. Its an optima shell with extra air slots and would be the better option.
Just eyeballing that shell, it almost looks more intended for an Optima Mid, as it...

Tried a search but no luck. Looking for the actual paint colours (or very close alternatives) to paint up an Optima and Turbo Optima, both in box art. I guess what blue and yellow for the Optima (white is easy 8) ) and the red/orange for the Turbo....

Last post

Ahh, I remember the POLYCA colors. You can see some of them here. The black, white, red where probably the box art colors.

I know this has been discussed before but besides the body, shocks and wheels where there any significant changes to the turbo. Upon doing a quick search I came up with answers like The Turbo was beefed up to handle more power . What exactly was...

Cool, I guess the parentage doesn't really matter...if you have most or all of the all-important Turbo upgrade parts, who cares what it began life as? :lol: It's a great car either way. 8)
