It was the 911 scale series. The rocky wheels look very much like the Fuch wheels.

I feel the same way about that, as well as the Optima. The original Optima body is one of the best designs ever. It's such a b!tch to paint, though. So many curves and details and hard-to-spray nooks & crannies.

hello All,

I just picked up a turbo Rocky in one of the lots that received recently. I know a lot about the car in the fact that I was raider based and an entry level 4wd.

The car is in pretty decent condition, but there are a lot of things...

I have just started on my Turbo Rocky.

I always wanted a Turbo Rocky cause of the higher spec's that they came with. So i bought a rare Turbo of the bay here in Australia for a steal of $130 . I hated the lines of the ugly poxy shell so a new TBG...

Very nice Franco.

All Turbo's I see.

I agree that the Rocky shell doesn't stay on well at the back.

Want to know the differences between the 2.

So far from i have read.

Plantium Shocks.

I haven't been on the board in a while, so maybe this has already been figured out. Hopefully this is useful, though I think the time has run out on being able to do this due to parts availability. *EDIT* I see, now, some people already knew about...

Sorry P.S,
I have found that on some of those Japanese sites it can be easier to type say OPTIMA MID into google translate, they cut and paste the Japanese characters into the search engine on their site.
Can dramatically increase hits, but usually...

61 mph wasn't enough (still need to break 100 kph) so I installed a custom 3d printed idle gear (30t idle gear along with a 20t pinion). Once I get my stability issues corrected, it should hit 65+ mph.

If anyone was looking for optional stock 32t...

Nice video , you'll have to post a running video as well .

Ever since I was a kid, I was underwhelmed with the top end speed of my Turbo Raider. I saved my money and ditched the LeMans 05 stock engine after a while in favor of a Revtech 15x4 turn motor and it was better but still not great. The car...

Thanks Cas22!!

Also I know its been spoken about in here but I haven't actually seen anyone state it exactly. Can anyone confirm that when running the 32 tooth idler, that the 18 tooth pinion fits using the one of the standard motor mount holes...
