Kyosho Optima Mid - The Return of the 1987 World Championship Legend
10th Model in Vintage Series. Midship Motor Layout. Belt-Driven 4WD Efficiency.
Step back in time without sacrificing modern performance! The Kyosho Optima Mid 1/10 4wd Off-Road Buggy Kit is a faithful re-release of the pure racing classic that dominated the 2nd World Electric Off-Road Car Championships in 1987. Renowned for holding five of the ten A-Main qualifying spots, this updated replica retains the iconic midship motor mounting layout for centralized weight distribution while upgrading key components to handle modern high-power brushless systems.
Vintage Nostalgia Meets Modern Mechanics
The Optima Mid is engineered with an ultra-smooth belt-type 4WD system that delivers exceptional drive efficiency and stability on modern loose-dirt and low-grip tracks. To ensure ultimate durability, the kit features an updated 48-pitch pinion gear paired with an 82T spur gear (compatible with the modern Ultima RB7 platform) and an integrated reinforced slipper clutch. Even the blister packaging has been meticulously replicated to recreate the exact unboxing thrill from the golden age of R/C.
Authentic Wheel & Tire Package
Recreates the beautiful original Optima Mid dish wheels, wrapped in high-grip Turbo Optima pattern block tires to deliver incredible forward bite on both clay and carpet tracks.
Javelin-Spec Reinforced Wing
Includes the celebrated reinforced nylon rear wing shared with the Javelin platform, striking a perfect engineering balance between high-downforce aerodynamic flexibility and crash structural strength.
