OPTIMA MID 2022 race with modern-day buggies

[@lukejones8076]

Modern buggies are so damned fugly with that weirdass angular cab-forward frog-looking body design. Older buggies actually look like something that could be driven.

[@exorc6837]

Older buggies bodies more classic.

[@doctormosfet]

Very nice driving. You show pretty clearly here that consistency is much more important than having the newest car.

[@exorc6837]

Thank you for watching and your feedback.

Lovely upgrades, giving that old buggy some of its former glory back! Looked like it did quite well on the track!

[@exorc6837]

I think it should be better! I will adjust it to the performance I want ha.

[@Gma7788]

You had no clue about buggy design back then and you still don't. Bill gates has been trying to warn you that you're extremely lowly educated. Manufacturers thought you were fully insane 15 - 20 years ago. You've gotten much worse ever since. I've seen salesmen have mental breakdowns from talking to you customers. You're 40 years behind the rest of us. Be ashamed of your level of knowledge. Shut your bs mouth and start educating yourself.

[@rc-fannl7364]

That thing was flying along the track. Great driving and respect for the setup skills

[@exorc6837]

Thank you for your feelback.☺

[@rc-fannl7364]

@@exorc6837 My pleasure, it's not often that I see a Mid run so "planted", usually these look a bit off in jumps and landings, on vids I've seen, but this is smooth

[@peterlanglois65]

That's pretty much the car I had back in the day. Mine was an Optima Mid converted to the "Pro" version with the chassis/body upgrade kit. I loved the poly-carbonate undertray and how it kept all the dirt and crud out of the car. I wish I still had it today. Oh well.

[@exorc6837]

Nice! Thank you very much for your feelback and watching.

One of the coolest buggies I’ve ever seen and most revolting background music in history.

[@vigilante351]

That car certainly agile and capable of sticking it to the newer tech cars. Looks very well balanced thru the jumps, and landings! Very quick too!

[@exorc6837]

Thanks for your feedback. I will adjust it again. I believe it should be better.

[@Gma7788]

Wrong. How about you actually take a look at the buggy. Stop reacting like a goose.

[@javierrosado7898]

Wow my friend!!! Awesome!!! Do you have all the parts changed to build that beast like in the photos?

[@RazorRC]

Great driving, love the Associated shocks! 😄 Carbon parts look nice, thanks for sharing!

Well i think that demostrated that its oerfectly capable of keeping up with modern buggies with a competent driver. With the added bonus that it looks much nicer, great stuff 👍

Dig the paint scheme, love the belt drive and those old school wheels. Are the wheels 2.2” ?

[@exorc6837]

Yes, these are 2.2-inch wheels.

[@pinmast0r]

I used to run an upgraded mid (but in stock class) back in the day, this thing is more than holding it's own with WAY more modern stuff. Testament to how good these were. Any plans to look at the recently released Kyosho Optima Mid 87 WC Worlds Spec - 60th Anniversary Ltd Edition car?

[@exorc6837]

My conversion kit can fit Optima Mid 87` WC too. Maybe you can try it.😊

[@rcobsesssed]

What are you using for the lower belt cover in the LWB kit? The standard one is a fair bit too short. Thanks, and GREAT video!

[@exorc6837]

Hi Mark, I am using the belt cover attached to the original factory of Optima mid 2022 (please refer to the photo in my store). exorcdesign.com/products/lwb003-kyosho-optima-mid-lwb-conversion-kit-for-2022-competition-version It is indeed relatively short. But LWB`s body shell set has a lower cover. And the current venue is very clean. So I think should be no problem! Thank you for watch!

[@laserbeam1620]

No, this was purchased with the help of a friend. This is a 2.2-inch wheel frame. It seems to be made by a British player.

Gorgeous parts and buggy. Just ordered a kit from rcmart since you‘re out of stock. Where‘s the body from, Marwan, Penguin or TBG? Thanks!

Do any other newer model shocks work with the kit?

[@exorc6837]

Yes. Support the big bore shock absorbers of 1/10 modern buggy.

[@bharris0128]

Are you using internal spacers inside the AE shocks? They are much longer than the PR springs.

[@exorc6837]

No spacers are used in Shocks. But the spring of PR is indeed shorter than that of ae.

[@bharris0128]

So how are you shortening your shocks?

[@exorc6837]

@@bharris0128 I didn`t shorten the shocks. Just fit the PR spring directly.

[@bharris0128]

@@exorc6837 Seems like they would extend too far, being as the spring is at least 1cm too short. It appears in the pictures that your shock is not the 23/27.5mm length.

Optima mid...I had one many years ago, sold it to get a CAT XLS, Always preferred the Optima mid though, didn't enjoy the CAT as much. The mid was easier to drive and better looking IMO.

[@sin-b6o]

Very exciting film, thanks!! I'm turbo optima mid special lover, so driving the original model still now. Your driving optima mid is really fast, I'm impressed very much. Any way, what wheel is your optima mid wearing? Is that KYOSHO original model for the optima? But that is 2 inch wheel, so I think it does not fit your tire. (Is the tire 2 inch?) Please inform me about your optima mid wearing wheel and tire.

[@exorc6837]

I use Shumacher tires. The wheels are 2.2 inch. My friend bought it for me. It seems to be from the UK. In addition, there are related settings at the end of my video. Maybe you can refer to it. Thank you for watching.😊

I also use Schumacher 2.2 inch tires same as you. Your wheels are form UK!!. The design is almost same as original turbo optima mid SP wheels , so I think I want to use them if I can buy anywhere. Thank you for your replying massage. I really enjoy your videos.
