You know what though, that shipping seems pretty reasonable!

If I can talk him down to a modest 14k each for a bulk buy, there is 1 for each us....hold my fake beer, I got this

Good luck!

And it's okay if it's a 0.05%, I understand it's for "the love of the game"

There are a couple vintage Optima Mids on Ebay for like $6k. I can't figure it out.

80's metal and plastic is way better than today's crap

I agree but $6k???!!!

If this is really true, iI have a couple few $100k sitting here in cars and parts I bet!

They're just a "little" tall!

I personally love one of the side photos where it shows they would be good at scale exhaust recirculation.

If it came with this snorkel kit then maybe.....https://www.etsy.com/listing/4369553531/universal-truck-snorkel-cover-fits

For those seeking the "land-rover" experience...this can be adapted to provide that.

I was being sarcastic lol. The current re-re Turbo Scorpion chassis variants still have the forged trailing arms. If you drop them on a hard surface they make that "tink" noise lol. I can't imagine ever being able to break one. I wonder who else uses forged parts on an RC outside of nitro engine components.

I have a Tomahawk here that I'm dying to take out. Its pretty lightweight, still built tough tho.

The chassis design is on of my favorites!

I used to bend the main chassis rails on my Turbo Optima.
There are new designs, better machining, materials to prevent bending the 'hop-up' rails now if I manage to bend the stock rails again.

I do love my 80's 'heavy metal'!

Bending those rails seems tough to do. My Javelin was at top speed and slammed head on into a full 55 gallon drum and just bounced off and kept going. I also launched it from the top of this gymnasium and landed about the 2nd step from the floor. It was a hard hit that had the whole gymnasium rumbling thinking it was a goner. It landed on the front, took a big flip onto the floor and I ran drift laps around the gym floor. Best drift surface ever!

The next day another kid thought he'd bring his Tamiya I think. Or some Radio Shack buggy. We both made a wrong turn and met head on full tilt. It looked like my Javeling drove through an RC buggy made of legos. His car parts went everywhere
