Built a SWB Optima Mid - finally !

This was my brother's old Turbo Optima Mid, that was in pieces.
I have a LWB ,but I missed driving a SWB, so I decided to rebuild one with some upgrades.

My Own Made associated B4 slipper compatible layshaft. More is available for sale.

The loose parts layed out

 

The front & rear ball diffs and rear gearbox innards. Notice my own made hard PEEK gear. I have more for sale.

Semi completed

Assembled gearbox and slipper.

With 2.2" wheels

Kyosho GP10 strong steering parts.

Incomplete rear end

Grinded arms, flipped, to make sure CVDs exit straight

semi complete

Recently completed with Mid SE decals

This is a video of this car running, hadn't had a chance to test it offroad yet.
After the ball diffs get gritty I will install gear diffs to cut down maintenance.
next build, my Old Lazer ZX !
