The Kyosho Optima is a triumphant return of a true RC legend. This reimagined icon captures the spirit of the original Optima, a buggy that set the standard for racing performance in 1985, while incorporating modern technology and design enhancements for today's enthusiasts. The Optima retains its classic narrow backbone-shaped chassis and distinctive styling, but with upgraded materials and components throughout.
The Optima features a durable and lightweight aluminium chassis, providing exceptional strength and rigidity. The 4WD chain system is housed inside a sealed compartment, protecting it from the elements, and the gears and gearbox at the centre of the drivetrain are equipped with robust metal components for long-lasting performance. The drivetrain also features a slipper clutch and precision 48-pitch gear modules that reduce drive loss and maximise the potential of modern power sources.
This updated version boasts a range of modern features, including the choice of chain drive or belt drive, big bore shocks on the front and rear that have been recreated in the original Optima colours, and convenient hex screws for easy maintenance. With its combination of classic design, modern technology, and race-proven performance, the Kyosho Optima is ready to conquer the track once again.
