G'day Mick! , That looks nice just as it is so imagine painted!👌. The colours re looking nice, great idea using the bottle as a test piece👍. Nice work lining up the body and cutting it mate, seeing how tricky it is not having guide lines really makes us appreciate having cut lines. Brilliant idea making a sanding drum👌, we're definitely knocking that idea off for future builds. Thanks for sharing your video and how to Mick 👍. Have a nice rest now mate 🤠👩🦘🇦🇺

G'day mate! Yeah I agree, they just look awesome. Oh yeah, life is much easier with cut lines 😂. The sanding drum idea is pretty old I spoze, a lot of people do that for wheel arches on touring car bodies. Although they do sell them for that. Haha go for it mate! No probs at all mate. Yeah, my eyes have been open for 22 hours now, prolly time I close them 😩. Have a good weekend mate! 👍

Great job Mick. Just be wary of mixing those paints so there's no repeat of the Optima. Even though I quite like that orangy/red colour combo. Anymore Ultima updates or projects? Here's hoping the new job works out. Edit: See if that Optima under-tray works on the Turbo Ultima, curious to see if it offers up. Give the Turbski Ultima a dash of under body aero.

Thanks mate! Oh yeah I’m always aware things can go wrong when mixing paints but if we don’t try different things then nothing is ever different 😉. It’s funny how people only remember failures. 🤣 Well I found the parts I misplaced for the Ultimas so shouldn’t be too far away! 👍

She''s a beaut! The best looking version of the Optima in my opinion. On a related note, I have a Javelin that I''m gonna build, but the exposed electronics have me wondering if there's any after-market shell that wraps around the chassis beneath the rollcage? Hoping to keep the dirt going in to a minimum.

@RCHobbyShed

2 ай бұрын

Thanks mate! I think so too, although I love the original Optima. I just can't decide between them 😂 Sorry mate, I've not seen any undertrays for the Javelin anywhere. You maybe could look at the dust bags, I'm not sure what they're called. But they use them on the bigger basher RC's. They wrap around and have a zipper on them, but I have no idea what car would be a similar shape to the Javelin in order to buy one. Sorry mate, I have no other ideas. 🙂👍

@@RCHobbyShed Thank you Mick for the info and advice. 🙂 If there's anyone who would know about parts availability, it would be you.

@@jemster38 No probs at all! Wish I could have been more helpful. Haha maybe you are thinking about it too much. Unless you drive it near mud or something it should be fine. If you have an air compressor, that would be handy to blow dirt and stuff out of it.

@@jemster38 All good mate. One thing with adding plates, you might be making it worse. Because the chassis is so open a lot of stuff that gets in there will also fall out again. Side plates may cause it to build up inside. It's all trial and error though I guess! 🙂👍

Brilliant, mate. I have inherited a vintage Turbo ultima like the white one you built. I need new wheels. Are all the Kyosho 2wd wheels interchangeable?
