Kyosho Turbo Optima - Full Onroad Conversion
EDIT: I originally posted this to see who could guess this chassis; now that everyone knows, I updated this thread accordingly.
Here's something you'll probably never see twice...this project took over 8 months to complete, and has too many mods, upgrades and fabricated one-off parts to mention. Can anyone guess what's hiding under that AAR 'Cuda body?
A few hints...the chassis is 25+ years old and began life as a 4WD offroad buggy getting a full onroad conversion...plus my avatar pic. I'll answer in 24 hours with some naked pics and more info.
Full build details here

I'm guessing a very custom RC10DS. I'm more than likely wrong though!

100% it's an optima!!!
1st pic side on view, look at the alloy front plate bumper support through wheelarch. That always used to bend like a drinking straw though a new blue one has been fitted.
