A weak spot of the Optima is the chain. It tends to keep stretching, especially if you fit stronger motors. It also lacks a real slipper clutch. Since you have the Turbo, you already have the golden shocks, which are better than the red ones, less prone to leaking and getting dirt inside. |
Have just thoroughly enjoyed reading the rebuild report. This will be invaluable to me as I undergo the same project. Will also take your advice over motor and ESC.
Many thanks for your help
