Following the Optima's revolutionary impact on R/C racing, the Turbo Optima emerged in 1986 as the series' undisputed champion. While retaining iconic elements like large diameter tyres, high-capacity shocks, stabilisers, and Le Mans 240S motor compatibility, the legendary Turbo Optima has been re-engineered for LiPo power, marking its triumphant return as the seventh instalment in the vintage series. Key chassis components have been meticulously updated to tackle modern racing demands, sharing lineage with the esteemed Optima and Javelin. This isn't 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. The enhanced specifications and design elements deliver cutting-edge performance and a striking aesthetic that pays homage to the original's timeless allure.
Note
This kit comes without an ESC, Motor, Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter and will come with an unpainted polycarbonate shell that may require cutting, painting, and drilling.
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.
