That duct decal by the window should be black because it’s supposed to simulate a cooling vent pass through. Love it a lot better now than before.

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks Chris 😊👊🏻

[@darkstorm303]

That looks better Glenn 😎👌💪🔥🔥🔥 #WhiteWheelTheWorld

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you 😊

[@jasonmarkley6164]

Wow 😀, I didn't think the first version was bad. But having the black decals looks amazing.

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks Jason 😊👊🏻

[@darrengrimmer8541]

Stunning Glen.. I used to stand at tables of the serious racers at our Sunday morning club dribbling at the optima’s.. before going back to get my hornet tuned up ready to go🤣🤣🤣

[@RCLegends2022]

Haha oh yeah I can totally relate to doing that myself Darren 🤣👊🏻

[@DavidVoisin-ij2bh]

I had the same issue with a restored T.Optima (Pargu chassis gold). The other anodized parts (uptights and, washers and nuts) were not the exact same gold colour and it ruined it. I replaced these with black and immediately the car popped back to life. I do have also a rere which will ultimately wear a salute body. In my opinion, this is the best looking vintage car (along with the Cat Xls). Thank you for your channel by the way. You come across like a great bloke and I love everything you do on Tamiya Legends and RC Legends. Thank you for the great content! 👍

[@mitsuman5555]

Looks fantastic

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you 😊

[@RCBirds]

Your new design looks great Glenn. Sometimes it's a kind of progress to get to a satisfying result, but that makes the hobby😉

[@barrycheesemore2928]

Wow, it looks waaaaay better now, awesome job! I think the original version had too much gold, but the black decals and white wheels contrast very nicely. Again, excellent job!!

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks Barry 😎👊🏻

[@Gnomeology1]

YEAH BOY!!!!!!!!!! That's way nicer... I still like little touches of colour matching, wheel nuts. Could use gold wheels with black and gold shell.. 👍👍

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you 😊

[@All_RC_Fun]

That is much better. Well done. I really like how that turned out.

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you 😊

[@bullmangotti]

Glenn, I liked the original version you did. But now seeing the revised version it totally rocks

[@RCLegends2022]

Excellent thanks Adam 😊👊🏻

[@kyleteal5888]

Killer Redo!!!

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks Kyle 🤩👊🏻

[@markhinkle3234]

You absolutely nailed it! The black decals really makes it ‘pop’ now. And the white wheels tie it all together. Wow! Amazing build!

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you Mark 😎👊🏻

[@bwjones8903]

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks Matthew 😊👊🏻

[@bradbattaglia7572]

Great work, Glen. Love the look of the Optima Turbo. I’m a Tamiya guy, but the Turbo tempts me for sure.

[@mlugin8050]

Damn i realize i‘m a nerd by the level i enjoy this video. The car has beautifully balanced contrasting co,ors now. Congrats

[@RCLegends2022]

Fantastic I’m glad you enjoyed it my friend 😇👊🏻

[@michaeldorich4485]

The car looks great now. The changes you made changed the entire look for the better. When the body had all the fold on it, it was too much.

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks Michael 😎👊🏻

[@stevenfinn6407]

I love it, Beautiful!

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks buddy 😎👊🏻

[@RichardE3046]

This car is in my ‘want to have’ top 5, looks awesome in this colour now 👍

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you 😊

[@kenblockx2010]

WEll DONE, BETTER THEN BEFORE

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you 😊

[@amc_sounds]

Now that is special. Absolutely spot on 👌 I wasn't a fan of using white at all but the contrast with less gold and the neutral black makes it all come together. Top, top job 👌

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you 😊

[@carlomac]

Looks much much better Glenn! Well done mate!

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you very happy with this one my friend 🤩👊🏻

[@burman982]

Good on you Glenn. I knew it was in there. You just had to take it from most of an idea and fill in the details that were missing. Sometime you gotta mock it up first.

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks Ryan 🤩👊🏻

[@nealbeggs5962]

MUCH BETTER The gold wheels just weren't right 🤘on

[@RCLegends2022]

Cool thanks Neal 😎👊🏻

[@AddamsPlayground]

I really love it now. Sadly the gold wheels had to go but it is much better with the white wheels! I also really love the black lettering on the body as well as it ties it all together and gives it a bit of contrast! I get the internal disappointment of it not coming out perfectly from what you had envisioned but I think it turned out super cool in the end!!

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you my friend I’m really happy with it now 😅👊🏻

[@lhodgo]

yep, heaps better. well done. i dont like the yellow decal above the front window but tiny detail.

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you 😊

[@philipgreensmith1694]

Looks loads better now 👍imo. Thanks for another great video Glenn 👌

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks Philip 😎👊🏻

[@psroudaut]

Congratulations, it is a really better look now ! I love it !

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you 😊

[@DustyFingersRC]

Perfect!! Now that looks incredible. Works really well and now you have the straight Optima decal on the front too.

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you 😊

[@andymc123]

Way better Glenn. It’s amazing how much of a difference those few changes make 👍

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you 😊😊😊

[@darreneisenhardt5403]

It looks stellar, awesome looking buggy Glen

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks Darren 😊👊🏻

[@justaddafan]

WAY better! Nicely done.

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you 😊

[@houset1794]

Well I must say you were correct looks a heck of a lot better. Looking forward to seeing those gold wheels on something else just as beautiful end result definite work of art!!

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you 😊

[@YourLocalSillyPotato]

[@andrewhopper8700]

Yes yes glen this is the only car of yours I wasn’t so sure on…. That is 100% now mate❤

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks Andrew 😊👊🏻

[@mjrcrawler]

I really did think that when it was outside it did look good in natural light with the all gold. But have to say wow! How awesome my friend like I said before you are a artist!!

[@RCLegends2022]

Hey thanks for the lovely comment 😊😊😊

[@TINYPINHEAD]

I have to say , think end result looks amazing as I thought it would like all your build s but all gold did look great .

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks buddy 😅👊🏻

[@withcookie5583]

Yes thats awesome, much better now. Proper job! 👍

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you 😊

[@carlkeig5640]

What a talent you have Glenn,your first idea was fantastic and I loved it,yes the different shades of gold was a little niggle but it still looked lovely, but now you've just made an evo version of your first idea, and now you've created something fantastic, by making subtle changes has changed this car completely. Your keen eye for this kind of detail is unbelievable,I class this as art, your an artist buddy💯👊🇬🇧

[@RCLegends2022]

Wow thanks so much for the lovely comment Carl 🤩🤩🤩

[@robsteel8318]

Mission accomplished I'd say 👍

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks Rob 🤩👊🏻

[@samcowrx]

Looks much better Glenn! I'm honestly in two minds about the red but that's just my taste, overall well rescued and good job. Great channel! :)

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks buddy 😊👊🏻

[@justinthorsson]

yep a lot better!👍

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks Justin 😎👊🏻

[@wadeskelton7585]

You took a great looking turbo optima and made it look greater 😄😄😄 Something about some black decals changes everything 👍

[@jasonmarsh3165]

Hi glen, you pulled it off with this one. And I fully understand what you mean when you say you dream a design, put it down and it doesn't look quite how you expected. The only change I would say you make now is put a black kyosho sticker on the roof instead of the yellow one you have now.. I only say that because when you had the kit in your hand it was the only sticker you couldn't tell what it was all others pop like I guess you wanted them to. Just my opinion. Keep up the great vids.

[@RCLegends2022]

Excellent thanks for the feedback Jason 😎👊🏻

[@peterhootonrc1498]

Hi Glenn what an amazing difference a few details make, looks stunning 👍This is the sort of colour mix I’m going for when I get mine, mainly gold and white with a few different colours. Well done

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks Peter 🤩👊🏻

[@Livlifetaistdeth]

It looks fantastic!

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks buddy 😅👊🏻

[@jadc]

Looks great. Might be worth seeing if the black rear window or nose decals work on there too. You’ve really pulled that out of the fire though, nice job.

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks James 🤩👊🏻

[@robertstewart3110]

You put the thought process in and it came out awesome you do come up with great livery ideas on your cars and buggies😁😁😁😁😀😀😀😀👀👀👀👀 it looks like a kit option kyosho would offer super nice respect

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks for the lovely comment Robert 🤩👊🏻

[@nigelbutters5769]

Vast improvement Glenn, the white wheels and the contrasting black sticker details are so much better 😎👍

[@RCLegends2022]

Excellent thanks Nigel 🤩👊🏻

[@rcplaytime]

Beautiful 👍 😀

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you 😊

[@Pablo668]

It looks a lot better now, white wheels with the gold nut as a highlight works, as do the black decals to bring back the gold on the body a bit. It was now that Glenn realised he hadn't taken the overspray wrap off the body......

[@RCLegends2022]

Haha now that would of been a disaster lol 😂

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I love this car.

[@RCLegends2022]

Me too 🤣👊🏻

[@alexhofstee466]

In my mind, the original gold theme would have worked if the base colour was the cobalt instead of white. But it looks so much better after the changes you made. 👌 Everything in one colour looks dull quickly. Some contrasts make a car much more interesting.

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks Alex 😊👊🏻

[@rcmomotaro5671]

Oh very nice!

[@rcmomotaro5671]

Actually I find that one yellow decal to be too prominent if I’m being very picky. Wish it was black writing IMHO. Sweet car!

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you 😊

[@NicJackson]

Love it ❤

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks Nic 🤩👊🏻

[@No1karez]

Looks absolute mint

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks buddy 😊👊🏻😊

[@rcicons4915]

Looks great. I am still pissed about the color of the gold. Those wheels were expensive.

[@RCLegends2022]

Yeah me too 🤕🤕🤕

[@richiedoran6251]

Much nicer Glen well done 👌

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you 😊

[@mrforeman7443]

It was close before but definitely a 10 now ,still all about the gold/white but classier 🏆

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you 😊

[@christopherlocke6115]

That looks so much better 👌

[@RCLegends2022]

Cheers buddy 😎

[@kashmurray1199]

Still looks awesome. I'm dealing with 2 bodies myself right now. I know what you mean.

[@RCLegends2022]

Haha good luck my friend 😅👊🏻

[@harrybachmann9815]

Not gonna lie, looks way better. 😎👍

[@RCLegends2022]

Thanks Harry 🤩👊🏻

[@ianat5016]

You nailed it 😅looks great 👍

[@RCLegends2022]

Thank you 😊

[@PercysRc]

That look amazing now mate, im due deliery of mine this week and was gonna do box art, but after seeing that, i think you swung me!!!!

[@wildcat650power]

There it is. I knew you would finnish it. Well done 👌

[@stevoc123]

I guess it 😜 colour schemes need some contrast to make them work. The shades of gold didn’t have balance and the white wheels now provide that with the pops of red and black. Looks a million times nicer now 👍🏻

[@RCLegends2022]

Fantastic thanks buddy 🤩👊🏻
