Key Specs
About this product
The Kyosho Turbo Optima 4WD 1:10 Kit *Legendary Series* (item K.30619) is the Kyosho Legendary Series re-release of the Turbo Optima 1985 (Turbo Optima 1986) 1/10 4WD competition buggy — one of the most iconic chassis in the history of RC racing. Bringing the original Turbo Optima chassis back in a faithful, modern-built kit, this is the same shaft-driven 4WD geometry that defined a generation of off-road racing.
Aimed at collectors and vintage RC enthusiasts, this kit is supplied unbuilt — you assemble the chassis from the ground up, fit your own electronics (ESC, brushed motor, servo, receiver, transmitter and battery), and finish the body shell to your chosen livery. The classic rear-motor layout delivers the bite and feel that made the original Optima a winner.
Why Collectors and vintage RC enthusiasts choose the Turbo Optima kit
- Faithful re-release — modern build of the iconic Turbo Optima chassis with original styling cues
- Shaft-driven 4WD — the layout that defined Kyosho 4WD off-road racing in the 1980s
- Oil-filled shocks front and rear with full ball-bearing drivetrain
- Rear-motor traction — classic rearward weight bias for grip and control on loose surfaces
- Hard plastic bodyshell — vacuum-formed, ready to mask and paint to your chosen livery
- Period-correct option-parts catalogue — Optima hop-ups stocked at Radio Controlled UK

Frequently Asked Questions
It's a kit — the chassis is supplied unbuilt and you assemble it from scratch. The Turbo Optima kit does not include an ESC, motor, servo, receiver, transmitter, body paint or battery, so you'll need to add your own electronics package and paint. For a fully assembled vintage 1/10 buggy, the Kyosho Optima line is currently kit-only.
1/10 scale — the standard scale for vintage and modern off-road buggy racing.
Yes — shaft-driven 4WD throughout the Optima series, including the Optima, Optima Mid, Optima Pro and Turbo Optima variants.
The Optima (and Turbo Optima / Optima Pro) use a rear-motor layout with the motor behind the rear axle — the classic Optima feel. The Optima Mid moves the motor forward of the rear axle for a more on-power weight balance — sharper turn-in on smoother surfaces. Both share the shaft-driven 4WD architecture.
The Optima series kits are intermediate-level builds — the chassis assembly is well-documented, but you'll need to be comfortable with diff assembly, shock building, gear meshing and basic electronics fitting. If this is your first build, take your time and pair with a club-mate who has built one before. UK stock — order today for fast dispatch.
