About this product
Step back in time with a model that revolutionised electric off-road racing. This Kyosho radio controlled buggy is a meticulously faithful recreation of the legendary Optima Mid, the chassis that claimed five A-Main qualifier spots and a second-place finish at the 1987 World Championships. Rather than simply replicate history, Kyosho has blended the classic 1987 design with modern engineering—introducing midship motor mounting and centralised weight distribution that elevates performance for contemporary drivers. Whether you’re a vintage enthusiast or seeking an authentic piece of RC hobby UK heritage, this machine delivers both nostalgia and genuine capability on low-grip terrain.
Built from 6016 T6 aluminium, the main chassis offers exceptional rigidity whilst every component has been updated to handle modern brushless power systems confidently. The belt-type 4WD system ensures excellent drive efficiency and stability, whilst the integrated rear transmission features an adjustable belt tensioner for smooth, efficient power delivery. Gold anodized threaded shock bodies echo the pressure shocks of the era, and the racy original body design is authentically reproduced. This 10th model in Kyosho’s vintage series includes threaded shock stays borrowed from the Turbo Optima Mid, recreated wheels matching the original specification, and a reinforced nylon rear wing for balanced strength. As a kit, it serves radio controlled car enthusiasts with extensive tuning potential through Kyosho RC spare parts UK availability, whilst replica vintage packaging provides that authentic unboxing experience. More than a nostalgic throwback, this is a fully competitive RC car parts package that performs on par with modern equivalents.
