Kyosho 1/10 Optima Mid '87 WC Worlds Spec 60th Anniversary 4WD Electric RC Buggy Kit - Gold Edition
This car replica is inspired by the prototype designed by Akira Kogawa, the principal designer behind Kyosho's Optima Mid. It showcases his signature peppermint green colour scheme, although the body shell is not painted. Akira participated in the 1987 World Championships in Romsey, England, where the Kyosho team used this prototype to great effect, placing five out of ten cars in the main A final! Since many of the production-moulded parts were not ready before the World Championships, the prototype featured numerous CNC-machined aluminium and carbon parts. It also had a modified Optima Pro body shell.
This version of the limited 60th Anniversary edition comes with the Le Mans Series Brushless motor & ESC.

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 is composed into 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.
