Kyosho Turbo Optima Mid SE

I won this car on eBay a couple of weeks ago, and it arrived on Tuesday. Here are a few pics of it, before I start the tear-down/clean up.

You can tell by how poorly the body fits, that this Turbo Optima Mid SE has been stretched out.

Beneath the shrink wrap are some 1200mah Sanyo SCR's. The tires are Schumacher, with very little wear. The wheels look like they are ProLines, dyed red.

Here's a better look at the aftermarket chassis. It's actually in very good shape, with only minor wear on the bottom.

Here are the Platinum shocks, as well as a pretty decent high speed Futaba servo.

And here are the Novak ESC and receiver.

I'll be sure to take some better photos when I take it apart for a good cleaning.
