tamiya3speed 461 Posted September 13, 2017 http://www.kyoshoamerica.com/30618B-JAVELIN-Buggy-Kit-4WD_p_25011.html If anybody hasn't seen Kyosho America put up a detailed page for the Javelin. I told my lhs to put one on order for me and a couple sets of universals for this and my Optima. Now to decide which gets built with the belt and which with the chain.

markbt73 5290 Posted October 7, 2017 Notice the Turbo Optima-style wheels sitting next to the green car... a sign of things to come? Too bad all their re-re wheel designs are 1-piece instead of 3... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tamiya3speed 461 Posted October 7, 2017 If I wasn't already excited enough. I may build my Optima as a Javelin with one of the alternate frames. Hopefully they aren't super expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snappy1 964 Posted October 8, 2017 Ok, dumb question time..... has anyone managed to graft a Javelin cage onto a optima turbo Mid ? I realise that the motor would probably foul the cage and need to be modified but I am just wondering if it is possible.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But there is hope as the Scorpion radio boxes in alternate colors weren't any more expensive than the standard yellow or white items. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I certainly share your hope because I've got my eyes on the turbo Optima rims in the photos (not bothered if they are one piece or three) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
