Product Description
Kyosho Turbo Optima Mid Special - The Long-Wheelbase Legend
Classic Racing Spirit. Extended Stability. Modern Precision.
The Kyosho Turbo Optima Mid Special is a masterpiece from the Legendary Series, bringing back the iconic 1980s racer with significant performance boosts. Featuring an 18mm longer wheelbase than the standard version, this buggy offers superior high-speed stability and cornering. Combining a high-tech carbon/FRP hybrid chassis with a smooth belt-driven 4WD system, it’s a perfect blend of nostalgic aesthetics and contemporary racing technology.
Advanced Chassis & Drivetrain
At the heart of the Turbo Optima Mid Special is a sophisticated chassis designed for the track. The carbon layered chassis provides the perfect balance of rigidity for precision handling and flex for absorbing off-road bumps. The belt-driven 4WD system, supported by full ball bearings and universal swing shafts, ensures efficient power delivery with minimal loss. Whether you're a collector or a vintage racer, the inclusion of an adjustable slipper clutch means this kit is ready to handle modern high-power brushless setups.
Extended Wheelbase
The 18mm extension significantly improves straight-line stability and provides a more planted feel during aggressive cornering at high speeds.
Anodized Oil Shocks
Equipped with high-quality gold anodized oil shocks and medium-hard springs to deliver consistent damping and a smooth suspension stroke.
Modern Compatibility
The redesigned body and chassis slots support modern LiPo batteries and electronics while maintaining the authentic look of the original 1980s racer.
