Yeah, it fits great. Finally installed. Easy to apply/remove without tools which is nice. Also put front universals.

Waterproof?
So I just ordered the Optima kit and I can’t wait to start putting her together!
Question I have: assuming I waterproof the electronics, is the rest of the rig waterproof? Will crossing a small steam on a hiking trail mess up the gearbox, diffs, or bearings? I’m not submerging the buggy, just an occasional puddle or stream to cross.
Thx!

For my .02, I'm hoping they don't base future Legends viability on this particular model's sales. I'm committed enough that I purchase first iterations of various 'rere' kits, but not so much that I tend to buy subsequent versions of those (unless I owned the original). For instance, I own the Scorpion, but not the Baja. I own the Avante, but not the Egress. I own the Optima, but do not currently have an intention of purchasing a Turbo Optima. Same for a few other kits (yes, it is a sickness! 8) ). If the first iteration Ultima were to be rereleased, I would be a guaranteed sale. I'd also be a 'likely to buy' should the Optima Mid be rereleased. Subsequent iterations of those vehicles, not so likely. Either way, here is to hoping for success.

I used the AKA 2.2” Evo wheels with the chainlinks they offer for clay tracks. I imagine there are other dirt tire options as well. The only catch is that the front wheels are a bit narrower due to the clearance issue. I like them quite a bit. I also have a set of the Kyosho Dirt Hog tires and wheels, which are great for loose packed dirt.
