Very nice. Celebration edition with a custom bottom plate? Do you have more pictures of the lower plate?

O bonus of the belt conversion though!

I just got a roller turbo optima with belt conv. already on and gold parts added on. Having trouble finding c-hubs and aluminum knuckles. Been searching for awhile on eBay. Can't wait to see what you do with yours. It'll keep me motivated! Good luck!

I've got a spare used set!

It's going to be my 4wd garden track runner so, not much stock Optima left.

Playing with:
ZXR wishbones
ZX5 hubs
ZX5 shocks
ZX5 driveshafts
ZX5 wheels
Titanium ball studs and turnbuckles

Got a front ball diff on way, trying to find a rear, if they ever did one...

Smashing carbon conversion, funny he didn´t use longer screws though

If You´re going to install all the new lazer gear on it, wasn´t it better that You traded it for my zx5

I've been buying a few cheap Kyosho's on fleabay.

Got a carbon tubbed ZXR.
Carbon chassis ZX5.
Then this Optima, couldn't resist the conversion when I saw the belt, plus the motor out the back should be fun!

Few more pics from phone......

Found out when I stripped the ZX5 it had 2 left C hubs.....New ones on order...

That's a pretty good buy. The belt conversion with the 2 diffs is probably worth at least that much.

Coelacanth, U legend been looking at your's dam sweet, I'm no where near that level of skill, I'm just after Lego, maybe Mechano........

Thanks CON2, I don't know about "legend", though...

I have a set of on-road tires like those "bald" rears, they might be like that on purpose, not because of wear & tear. Check out these IMEX Road Dawgs, maybe those tires are similar?
