Nice! Love the paintwork. Good luck with the channel. 👍

@jamesstrutt2208 thanks mate thought I'd try something different with the paint. Definitely learned a few things like rattle cans are not the easiest lol.

Holy **** i have the same colour and gold decals from MCI on my Optima Mid 😃 Also built mine on the Exo chassis. Plus i put on several Yeah Racing parts including a cool black motor mount

@@aviano72 hahaha, yeah. One look at those gold shocks and I knew it had to be done

Nice build. I’m considering doing the Exo long wheelbase conversion next year

[@gernestj]

@jonthomas8487 Thanks, the EXO carbon is really nice and they do benefit from the longer chassis. Definitely easier to build the chassis in rather than a retrofit later. Also, worth keeping in mind if you plan to race it that the LWB chassis complies with the rules. I used the SWB or I would have to run in a different vintage class.

@@gernestj I don’t race so I’m fine either way
