Oh my Goodness it’s Beautiful!!! Kyosho Turbo Optima Chassis Upgrades…

[@wadeskelton7585]

Dude Glenn those wheels don’t hurt the car at all imo I think the color difference actually let’s them stand out a bit! Gorgeous all around brother 😊

[@Willybrordus]

I've bought myself the kit after watching all your videos over and over again! Since months I'm watching them, others channels too, but yours got me excited all over. So, I have the kit, now, and I'm going to start building it soon; I've made a priority out of: "enjoying the build", like you say. I just wanted to let you know, that I enjoy your videos on your channel! Thanks again and greetings from Antwerp, Belgium!

New hobby room looks so professional 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@lionelplunkett9428]

G'day Glenn wow that thing is off the charts 👍👍

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks buddy 😎👊🏻

[@arnoldapplewhite3149]

Looks great Glen. Personally, I think the wheels being darker looks better than if they were the same shade. Gives it contrast and makes it look meaner 👍

[@RCKickschannel]

Get the carbon top deck for it Glenn, it's another upgrade well worth doing to lift the look of the chassis. A total stunner of a chassis for sure.

[@RCLegends2022]

Cheers Gav 😊👊🏻

[@gooseyt1712]

Your new studio is awesome! And so is the Optima.

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you 😊

[@craigh79]

I like the gold separation between the chassis and the wheels 👍👍 a clear body for display would look good.

[@DimDeadBoyMusic]

Nothing wrong with the different shades of gold on the wheels at all. A little contrast punches things up a bit. When people get caught up in making everything match perfectly, they can end up doing it a disservice and leave things rather bland.

[@RCLegends2022]

Excellent thanks for the feedback my friend 😊👊🏻

Looks awesome Glenn, I've had a set of those wheels on order and I'm pretty sure they are now kyosho gold

[@RCLegends2022]

Oh interesting if you could let me know once they arrive, that would be awesome 😎

[@wayneyates700]

It looks absolutely stunning 👍👍

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks buddy 😍👊🏻

[@jamesneylon7335]

Love the intro shot. Looks like you are in a hobby shop from back in the day, although my model shop back then looked like your room. That put me right back to 1985. I have a nice big room with all my Rc in, just have to do the remodel and it might be as nice as yours. Cheers

[@RCLegends2022]

Fantastic thanks for watching James 🤩👊🏻

[@robcraighill6315]

That thing is a beauty, no shame keeping it on the shelf. I used to have a black and gold bmx when I was a kid - the wheels would match it perfectly! 🙂👍

[@RCLegends2022]

Black and Gold BMX 😍😍😍

[@gamerrc5716]

Hi Glenn, loving the new man cave. Awesome backdrop. I’ve been waiting for this one and it has not disappointed. Can’t wait to see what you are going to do with the body shell. Nice one Glenn.

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you my friend 🤩👊🏻

[@nitroprime9714]

i had that white lambo as a kid, mine was red.

[@RCLegends2022]

Excellent 😎👊🏻

[@patimahn]

Great Job I did the same car but I went all out gold! Control arms, tie rod, hubs, rims, body paint . Will put my pics on the facebook group. Love the car! 👍

[@RCJunky]

Great work Glenn, you might be able to change the gold by cleaning off a layer of the gold seem to be over anodized. Also you need the new Kyosho Le Mans gold motor.

[@RCLegends2022]

Oh yeah that motor is 😍

[@darrengrimmer8541]

Glen it’s stunning I love it👍👍👍 The cat is my favourite non tamiya but this comes very close!!!!. Glen you are doing some great things on the channels👍👍👍

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you Darren 😊😊😊

Absolutely incredible with the rims not completely matching maybe you can do some thing with the body paint to tie in that color awesome job my friend 👍

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks for watching 😊👊🏻

[@bcastromusic]

very nice. I found myself browsing turbo optima prices and ebay parts :) would look awesome on a javelin too. btw, the background looks incredible.

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you 😊

[@andrewsartorius7350]

Omg that is gorgeous want one

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks Andrew 😎👊🏻

[@catxls1835]

It's certainly very , very pretty Glenn. The wheels can/could have the anodising removed or partially removed but to me, they look cool man!! Love the Marwan tyres too, and your tyre writing is superb. The Bridgestone tyres are a must on a car of this standard!! As you know, I love Optima's of all types to drive and look at, but I think this maybe very special when it's complete! Thumbs up Bud!

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you 😊

[@denozed6554]

Looking great Glenn.

[@chriswatson9519]

I think the wheels go well with the chassis Glenn as always made it look awesome, also I like the direction you are filming in works 👍

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks Chris 🤩👊🏻

[@aviano72]

Those tyres are awesome !

[@alphawlff]

Looks good Glenn. I am eagerly waiting to see the body. You should do more videos for both channels where you did this one.

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks for the feedback my friend 🤩👊🏻

[@DivineInt]

Looking great fella😊 With all the gold it would suit a Black JPS paint scheme 😏

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks for watching 😎👊🏻

[@tangolima6462]

Great build! You should do a translucent body so you can see their chassis. I think it could be done with tact!

[@RCLegends2022]

Excellent thanks for the feedback my friend 😊👊🏻

[@mad-beerc3818]

Gorgeous mate that is going to look epic! Black and gold really are a marriage made in heaven! Glenn have you seen Jason's (True Vintage RC) latest video? Definitely your cup of tea😉👍

[@RCLegends2022]

I’ll get to watch it today my friend 😅😅😅

[@mad-beerc3818]

@@RCLegends2022 cool mate 😉👍 l am looking forward to seeing what you do with the body and so far the gold wheels look good to me Glenn. Cheers James 👍

[@rcalltypes8230]

I’d be tempted, to get a Kyosho 480 Gold Le Mans motor, for it. Looks awesome 😎

[@RCLegends2022]

Now that would be the ultimate finishing touch 😍

[@kashmurray1199]

Appsalutly beautiful. Yes chassy in front, body behind. No way I could run that either. Didn't Kyosho have a gold Le Mans motor? That would be cool. The wheels I think set it off. It makes the chassy stand alone. Awesome.

[@RCLegends2022]

Yeah I’d love that motor but it’s extremely expensive 🤕

[@bra1nc417d]

Wish you woulda popped the body on, just fore a quick look. Honestly, I like the wheels being slightly darker, in color. Gives the chassis a bit more contrast and looks more dynamic. Such a gorgeous ride, man! BTW, that's QUITE the collection and I assume, its not even all of it lol.

[@RCLegends2022]

Hey thanks for watching and leaving a comment my friend 😊👊🏻

[@lloydrjim]

Looking good. You should get the Revive-rc polycarbonate undertray for this car just incase you decide to take it for a drive. I picked one up and it looks great. Another great vid as usual!

[@RCLegends2022]

Yeah I’ve actually got one to go on the car at some point 😅👊🏻

Wow Glenn that is one beautiful show piece,I believe rc cars should get atleast a little run but no way would I run that one it's absolutely stunning,I've got to say that hobby room looks amazing,even though I was looking at the kyosho I was drawn to the cabinet in the background,I noticed the beautiful looking lamborginini and TRF touring car, I know you've done videos on both but man they look awesome on display 💯👌

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks Carl 🤩👊🏻

[@DustyFingersRC]

The mystery of the body shell is killing me lol The wheels look great but yeah, I know what you mean. Perhaps wit the shell that gold may match something there? We will see........

[@RCLegends2022]

Haha yeah there’s a few ups and downs to come with this build yet 🙈🤕🤕

[@johnlang2641]

The Pargu store sells the side guards in "gold" and in "Kyosho gold". So they know that there is a difference in color saturation. The wheels are only available in "gold". Once they were in Kyosho gold but it seems they changed it some time ago. Still it looks very nice. I am curiously waiting to see your finished Turbo Optima body shell.

[@RCLegends2022]

Excellent thanks for letting us know my friend 😎👊🏻

[@thevectorcave3616]

A shame it's not a Tamiya because that chassis would look awesome with the Technigold motor 😎👍.

[@RCLegends2022]

Haha it certainly would 😍

[@Houleigan]

I ran into the same problem with colour not matching. I blinged out a WLToys 144001 (yes I know not the same) but I went with all "Gold" alloy, everything matched except the diff covers.

[@RCLegends2022]

Yeah that sort of thing can be really frustrating 😡🤕

[@Houleigan]

@@RCLegends2022 Still looks awesome though, love the look, hope you going black/gold n the body!

[@adrianharrison5208]

@@RCLegends2022 you beat me to it mate, I was just about to say that I see you are using different camera angles and I really like it. I think when you are building them the wall shot would be best as id be looking at all the models in the background :) Awesome model and to be honest I agree with you that this is a shelf only car, it really does look amazing but yes a shame about the wheels

[@denozed6554]

wonder if you could find some ti nitrate coated gold shock shafts

Glenn can you still slide a battery in with the NERF bars fitted

[@RCLegends2022]

Never checked lol 😂 I’d be shocked if you couldn’t 🤯

[@grindking3913]

To be honest the silver Phillips screws on the nerf guards are more off putting than the wheels but both irk me for a shelf queen

[@RCLegends2022]

Yeah I actually didn’t give that a thought while I was fitting them but! Yeah you’re right 🤕

[@verdman54]

I wonder if my stock body will fit on the re-re? Because I have a non-box art body that would look fire with that set up!

[@rcinhand9671]

I think the wheels being slightly off make it pop more.

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks buddy 😎👊🏻

I would be an absolute shame to run it mate. It needs to be secured for prosperity and to remind the world how RC cars "should be made". 👍

Agreed 😊😊😊

Could you post the link for the wheel nuts? Thanks!

[@brianargo1659]

I wonder if u can get aluminum version of those wheels that are gold anodized? Because with those Wheels being black plastic I'm sure that's why that gold is darker. I hope what I'm trying to say makes sense. 😂 But super cool build👍 and I apologize for the comment being so long

[@RCLegends2022]

Not at all Brian I appreciate you taking the time to comment 😊👊🏻

I do not like them side rails. Imo they are a poor design for something so simple. The bolt and nut to hold them together look awful and when the body is on, you can't see it? Plus it's all flat when rails should be rounded. Each to there own 👍 Oh and the Tires are OT66 for some reason the script is say RT66 lol

@@RCLegends2022 still an awesome build and looks amazingly well done as always. Still say this build needs that new 240 gold motor and esc. Wouldn't it be awesome if you could get a full aluminum cage in a selected color for the Javelin? I would love to make that thing as much aluminum as possible and see just how heavy I can get one.
