So, after returning to rc recently after almost a 30 year gap, I had managed to avoid nostalgia - right until I saw Kane Woods recent post in the graphics section where he had done a box art optima and it took me straight back to 1985.
I have now succumbed and bought an Optima Turbo which I will replace shell and other bits to take back to original optima - just cause it is the best looking RC car ever!!

My question is where am I likely to encounter trouble? My memories of the Optima are rose tinted so I recall no problems, but will be putting modern electrics in it - albeit low powered (i.e. High turn motor, low amp ESC etc)

Any advice gratefully received, unless it is "don't get drawn in by nostalgia" in which case it is too late. I'm not trying to create a dust gatherer - I want to run it, but not too hard!!
