Optima Mid Build

[CrazyRC]

Sorry, I'm terrible at taking pics during the build process, I'll try to keep this as updated as I can.

Started with a decent runner I've had for years, and have been collecting parts for. My intention is to build a nice little piece of shelf art, save for the occasional run around the carpeted living room.

Everything aluminum has been polished to a mirror finish... I've got some titanium turnbuckles, and a few other hop up goodies to hang on it.

Found the front shock tower had a slight tweak in it, so I picked up some beautiful Yeah Racing carbon fiber pieces. I love the chrome thread woven into the carbon. It matches all the polished aluminum well. I'll straighten and polish the stock shock tower eventually.
Also found that if you flip the sway bar mounts, the rerelease rear sway bar will fit the original upper link mount for the standard Mid.
Got the front shocks rebuilt and mounted. Tonight it's time for the rear shocks.
