Kyosho Turbo Optima Mid Special 1/10 4WD Electric Off-Road Buggy Racer Kit
The Turbo Optima Mid Special 1/10 4WD Electric Off-Road Buggy Racer Kit by Kyosho marks the triumphant return of a legendary 1988 model. Originally celebrated for its dominance in the racing world, this high-performance buggy has been faithfully reproduced with modern upgrades for today's RC enthusiasts. It features refined engineering, added durability, and enhanced adaptability while preserving the iconic look and feel of the original.
The Turbo Optima Mid Special boasts an eighteen-millimeter longer wheelbase than the standard Optima Mid, improving high-speed stability and cornering performance. Its carbon layered chassis balances flexibility and rigidity, ideal for absorbing off-road terrain while maintaining precise control. Thoughtfully designed slots were taken from the original design, allowing for split battery configurations to support various battery types and weight distributions.
Featuring a belt-driven 4WD system and full ball bearings, the drivetrain ensures smooth power delivery and high rotational efficiency. Universal swing shafts reduce drivetrain loss, especially during tight cornering. The anodized oil shocks with medium-hard springs provide consistent damping across varied track conditions, while the adjustable slipper clutch ensures compatibility with high-power setups.
This updated version supports contemporary RC electronics while retaining its nostalgic design cues. The updated molded body fits modern battery sizes and includes a dustproof underbody for improved aerodynamics. Finished with blister-style packaging and a matching decal sheet, it delivers both functional upgrades and vintage authenticity in equal measure.
