When was the Optima Mid Custom Special released? Last Optima

Quote

Post by mjtown » Fri Oct 11, 2013 11:23 pm

Hi all,

It's been a while... had to move house etc. blah blah blah!

Anyway, I've been fortunate enough to snag a really good Optima Mid Custom Special roller on eBay here in Australia. It'll go really well with the Turbo Scorpion that my parents bought for me as a kid, and the Optima Pro that I bought and rebuilt last year.

Does anyone know what year the Mid Custom Special was released? I want to get correct period servo, esc and radio gear for it.

Any hints or help would be great!

Cheers!

Mike

Finally I got these restore projects started. I have been collecting parts since may this year and I think I have all that's needed. As my other builds, these two cars will be built by using mostly second hand parts (in great condition).

Thanks Lars! These projects almost went a bit too fast after I finally got all the stuff needed.
