The Kyosho Optima Mid Custom Special is a unique and collectible 1/10 scale 4WD buggy that recreates a piece of RC history. This limited edition model is inspired by the prototype designed by Akira Kogawa, the principal designer behind the original Optima Mid. Featuring Kogawa's signature peppermint green colour scheme (body shell not painted) and a modified Optima Pro body shell, this replica captures the essence of the prototype used by the Kyosho team at the 1987 World Championships. This special edition comes equipped with the Le Mans Series Brushless motor and ESC for modern performance and exhilarating speed. Whether you're a Kyosho enthusiast, a collector of unique RC cars, or simply appreciate the history of the hobby, the Kyosho Optima Mid Custom Special is a must-have addition to your collection. 

Replica World Champion Wheels

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.

Limited Edition Aluminium Shock Absorbers

The 60th Anniversary edition boasts gleaming gun metallic aluminium shock cylinders, a limited-edition touch that complements the titanium-coated shafts peeking through.

Carbon Fibre Design

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.
