Looks good, belt and chain is nice option...bugger shock collars are going to be bigger:cry: but its better the new one had redesigned shocks as the originals would never cut it now days,looks like a slipper clutch is in the box too!
Think its nice that quite a few parts are different means the originals stand apart when next to each other keeping the true vintage, vintage:thumbs: I'm ordering one to run belt as my original runs chain, Price I think thats going to be £350 plus with belt a chain options etc |
I'm pretty sure most parts have been designed to be slightly different from vintage, to avoid merchants from selling re-re stuff as "new old stock" for inflated prices. Has been done on Tamiya re-re too, to avoid confusion between vintage and re-re parts.

ReRe Optima
RRP £329.99 but Modelsport selling for £299.
What we really want is a belt driven LWB Optima Mid or Mid Turbo! |
They nailed the boxart, no tyre lettering painted in haha, but it looks great!

So will the gears from the re-release fit the original Optima/Ultima gearbox? Will make a useful modernisation for my Ultima.......

I'm another one who'd love to see a rere of the LWB Optima Mid next.
Yokomo need to do an 870C to compete :thumbsup:. |
Seeing the holes on the front arms, I feel that the Optima Mid re-re could be for real :drool:

Not sure about what you say... Please check the pic attached :)

Yeah, exactly that on the pic. Must have mixed it up in my mind with the rear arms, where the Mid has 3 holes for the shocks, on the arms. On the front there are also 3, but I guess I counted the one on the hub as well. ;-)

Seen as i wasnt born when the original optima came out, how does one drive seen as you have the motor sticking out the back, id have thought it would feel a little like a rear motor 2wd with more grip steering. I will say I like the look of the car tho if I ever look for a 4wd this might be a contender. I like the older body style buggys had over the newer shapes, its why im running my rc 10worlds re-re a lot more now than my b5m.
