Inspired by Akira Kogawa's prototype for the Kyosho Optima Mid, this replica buggy features his iconic peppermint green colour scheme with an unpainted body shell. Kogawa raced a similar prototype in the 1987 World Championships in Romsey, England, where the Kyosho team secured five of the ten spots in the main A final. This prototype was unique, as many production parts were not yet available, leading to the use of numerous CNC-machined aluminium and carbon fibre components, along with a modified Optima Pro body shell.
Now, For the 60th anniversary of Kyosho, Kyosho have recreated this iconic buggy in kit form so you can build your own. Recreate the legendary Buggy or create your own custom version.

Key Features
These one-piece wheels mirror the rear rims of the iconic 1987 World Championship Ultima, echoing the legendary design that Mr. Akira Kogawa himself adorned in his signature peppermint green.
The 60th Anniversary edition boasts gleaming gun metallic aluminium shock cylinders, a limited-edition touch that complements the titanium-coated shafts peeking through.
Cutting-edge carbon fibre crafts a main chassis and upper deck that are both feather-light and remarkably rigid, striking the perfect balance for flex and exceptional running performance.
Learn how to paint your own custom RC body shell with this step by step guide. Hamish will walk you through the process of painting your RC body shell as he paints a clear 1/10 Subaru Impreza for his 1/10 MST MS-01D drift car.
