Hello all, I am looking to fit a MIP diff (set #16210) into a Tamiya Wild One and realised I need the special 'Coring Drill' hole cutting tool that is included in MIP's #17160 - "MIP Super Ball Diff, Tamiya HotShot/BigWig" . . . Does anyone have one of these tools for sale? Alternatively if anyone has the whole #17160 - "MIP Super Ball Diff, Tamiya HotShot/ BigWig" set for sale? Fingers crossed someone has that hole cutting tool kicking around in a parts box It is in these MIP videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV46ztLZjcQ

Hey y'all, here is some Tomahawl pr0n I'm having to sell my practically new, super hopped-up Tomahawk 2015. If anyone is interested please PM me (I'm in the UK, but happy to ship most places).

Not sure about that part, but this "Xtra Speed XS-OM27003 Carbon Upgrade Set For Kyosho Optima 2016" may be of interest (unless you have lots of carbon parts already)?: http://www.rcmart.com/carbon-kyosho-optima-2016-p-68011.html?cPath=1102_1106 2016

@Redseven77: Running on 2S LiPo, I put a HobbyWing 10.5T 3300KV brushless sensored motor in mine (with a 60A HobbyWIng QuicRun ESC) and it goes like stink and yet is very easy to control as it is sensored (and you can set a mild throttle curve). Motor hardly gets hot, even after high speed runnin on short grass

Wow, that Turbo Optima bodyshell looks amazing! I really hope Kyosho re-re the Turbo Optima, as I'd love to have one again - it was the first RC I raced with when I was a boy

@lin6499: Hey Lin, is this you? Someone hs been busy tinkering with their Optima!

I'd much rather skip on to discussing potential of a re-re Turbo Optima! But I guess it all depends on what car you caught your Kyosho, Tamiya etc, infection from when you were young

@John/Buggy entry stats for Revival 2016 this weekend: Gutted I cannot make this now. Roll on 2017! Hope the weather is kind for the weekend, everyone has a great time and those vintage plastic Tamiya suspension arms hold up!

@Lin64499's post: You can read that 'new parts' page in English at https://www.kyosho.com/eng/products/rc/newparts.html (all "Available in Jul 2016", previously Kyosho were saying June, hmmmm ). Not sure about other countries, but the Option parts for the Optima look crazy expensive to me. I normally go all out on hop-ups to make a strong/well performing runner. But at the prices I see Modelsport UK, Wheelspin Models etc. listing these parts I think I'll pass, which means my Optima may stay on the shelf

Now I wish I had known about those a few months back before I spent $$$ on some BNIP vintage Option House shocks

IMHO you are better off getting modern sized wheels and tires for day-to-day running (4WD 2.2" wheels/tires using the 12mm hex output on the Optima's drive shafts). I use Schumacher wheels/tires for 'racing spec' and then the really cheap, but good sets from Abisma for bashing/street running: http://www.absima.com/en/products/wheel-sets-accessories/110.html (scroll down that page and you'll get to some white rims! Available from all good model shops, eBay etc.). Hth
