Kyosho Optima projects

Post by Bullfrog »

hello all, here's one of my latest projects, well 3 of them, the Optima would have to be my all time favorite, it would have to be one of the best looking vintage buggys. All of the alloy parts were polished by myself, I had one set green anodized for something different, I'll keep posting pictures as the build continues, I have order my stainless steel button head screw sets, I have got just about all the parts for the new builds, except for the wheels and tires, there at about 80%.


Cheers Bullfrog

Wow thats going to look good! make sure you put the green one together first I have a feeling the others might be makeing a trip back to be anodized also, A fleet of little lepercon's running around would look Super cool . :D :D

Nice. I love optimas. Green is neat because stuff is rarely anodized that color.
