Kyosho Optima Mid 60th - build progress update and thoughts

[@rocpile]

Must I suggest sanding the entire top of the front bumper straight across, finishing with a very fine wet sand paper until smooth again. Thank you for the video!

Regarding the belt, I think they now have one that is one teeth shorter, so allow more tightening as it stretches a little over time

Yes, but it's proving challenging to find a long wheel base belt in the UK. I found a used one from a Mid Custom on ebay but it's 45 pounds. In the USA they're only 18 new but you pay that again in shipping. I'll have to wait until something comes up. Cheers

@@SidcupRC Does the bad availability apply to OT227? That is the shorter belt Kyosho suggested to use with the re-re Mid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2OuiIeOa75ljK8 They mention it in this official video

Nice build👍 its slowly becoming my fave 4wd. Even with the rear diff not being the best. But hopefully its all sorted now with the gear diff. There is a shorted belt that you can get. I went with a longer one, but built it upto be a longwheel base and its so much easyer for me to drive.
