Kyosho Optima Project Finally done. (pictures)

[ICEBERG]

Hi Guy's

Well the restoration project is Finally finished on my Kyosho Optima. I had this car since i was 16. This thing is 24 Years old and finally i got around to fixing it up. I took some pictures for you guy's to see how it looks.

I use to race this in 1985 and won lot of competitions. Than the RC hobby died down and this thing got stored in my boxes for 24 years. Was missing lot of parts and was not in good condition.(wish i had pictures before and after, sorry)

Still looking for some parts. Need new tires which are VERY hard to come by. Could use new shock collars, they get cracked over the years and are hard to find. Other than that i tried to do my best to restore it back to it's original condition.

If any one has one of these optimas or Ultimas or Javalins or has spare parts for these please PM me.

PS: I cleaned out Model Land with their old stock, they got nothing left.

Cheers,

Almost impossible to find this shit local.

Ebay, and keep watching for parts or wrecked entire units.
