I absolutely love it! I'm a optima pro 4wd fan and owned the original back in 86. Have you compared this the the re-released Optima pro? I wonder how it compares in performance? I honestly am considering this mix of Optima mid with Optima pro body. Excellent job!
@@BlackTiger74 Thank you for the comment, i do not own a re-re Optima pro, but theoretically, the pro has a more forward mounting battery that helps the car’s weight distribution.
It turned out really nice. Did you clear over the window masks when you put flat clear coat down? Did the masks come away from the body cleanily afterwards?
Hi, Thank you for watching and comment. The window masks were flat clear coated over. The masks came off easily. No issues, i removed them carefully with a sharp hobby knife. Cheers, Clem
@@RC-168 that’s good to know, will probably pick one of these up this year & never been sure about the big bumper 👍 Definitely have a think about changing the body now 🤔 From what I understand it’s a great kit to build, I raced one years ago but picked it up 2nd hand so never got the chance to build it
Wow 😊 turned out beautifully ❣️
Thank you. 😊

Looks really good, is that the standard front bumper on the car ?
Thank you. The small front bumper is from the kit itself. The kit also includes the large (box-art) bumper too.
