The Kyosho Turbo Optima is a triumphant return of a true RC legend. This reimagined champion captures the spirit of the original Turbo Optima, a buggy that dominated off-road racing in 1986, while incorporating modern technology and performance enhancements for today's enthusiasts. The Turbo Optima retains iconic elements like its large-diameter tyres, high-capacity shocks, stabilisers, and compatibility with the Le Mans 240S motor, but it has been completely re-engineered for the demands of modern racing.
Key chassis components have been meticulously updated, drawing inspiration from the esteemed Optima and Javelin. This is not just a reproduction; it's an evolution. Upgrades include the previously optional gold-anodised parts, gold shocks with adjustable chassis height, and modern block-pattern tyres for enhanced grip and performance. The Turbo Optima is now ready to tackle modern tracks with LiPo power, delivering a thrilling and competitive racing experience.
Whether you're a seasoned racer who remembers the dominance of the original Turbo Optima or a newcomer eager to experience a classic design with modern performance, the Kyosho Turbo Optima is a must-have.

The streamlined aluminium backbone chassis delivers exceptional rigidity while featuring 15 key gold-anodised aluminium components (standard), including the main chassis, shock stay, and motor guard—previously optional upgrades.

Constructed from durable 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, the main chassis, shock stays, and plates provide superior strength and corrosion resistance. Countersunk screws eliminate excess hardware for a sleek appearance, complemented by a standard gold-anodised under guard.

Experience the unique characteristics of both chain drive and belt drive systems. The Optima allows you to choose the drivetrain that best suits your needs, providing flexibility and customisation options.

The drivetrain features precision 48-pitch gear modules for efficient power transfer. Sintered alloy gears, combined with high-impact nylon gears and a newly added slipper clutch, create a durable and efficient system that can handle the demands of high-power motors.

The gearbox is designed for both performance and durability. The slipper clutch enhances traction control and protects the gears from shock loads, ensuring smooth operation and long-lasting performance.

The aluminium oil shocks retain the classic look while featuring an updated dial adjustment for precise chassis height control and refined damping performance.

Improved with reinforced arms, the double wishbone suspension ensures dependable movement and a long stroke for superior control and responsiveness.

Front and rear stabilisers minimise body roll during cornering, delivering sharper handling and improved performance.

Faithfully recreating the Turbo Optima's wider body design, specifically engineered to house an 8.4V NiMH battery, this model includes a masking sheet and decals for replicating the original packaging colour scheme.

The new Turbo Optima blends classic styling with modern block-pattern tyres for enhanced on-track performance. It comes standard with stylish one-piece wheels boasting a large 50mm (2-inch) diameter.
