Turbo Optima Mid SE-X

[Coelacanth]

Thanks for the info, I'll still have the same problem of having to get the parts anodised gold though.
Couldn't find it in the parts list, what brand are those blue ballstuds you used for the bottom shock mount.
Also where did you get the gold turnbuckles from

Most of the anodized, colored balls & ball studs I use are 3Racing, but I think those units came from a Tamiya TA06 stabilizer set I previously bought, for the 4 blue stabilizer adjusting collars and open ball-ends. Either will work, but I prefer that the 3Racing ones install with a hex key while the Tamiya ones need a hex wrench (you can instantly tell the difference by the hex shape of the Tamiya studs' shoulder).

The gold turnbuckles were on a parts car I bought a few years ago, it was a Turbo Optima Mid from Adam (flipwils11)...I believe they're Trinity units. I've also seen them on Turbo Ultimas.

That stabilizer set is rather interesting.
I have been considering switching the rear to a Lazer shock tower and wishbones but I think I'll leave it as it is and just finish it, I keep getting distracted by other projects.
I think black plastic OT-16s will end up on it and provide nice symmetry to the stock rear hubs
