Affectionately remembered by vintage RC fans, the Kyosho Turbo Optima has been updated to meet present-day hobby standards. The reissue keeps the model's characteristic style while improving serviceability and component quality.
This edition preserves signature features such as big diameter tyres and pressure shocks, but fits modern block-pattern tyres for better traction. Gold anodised aluminium parts are standard, improving strength and maintaining the classic appearance.
The car uses a 4WD belt drive that is convertible to chain drive, allowing tailored drivetrain setups. A slipper clutch protects gears during shocks and the double wishbone suspension with beefed-up arms helps the buggy stay composed through corners.
An FRP radio plate accepts most modern ESC options, full ball bearings reduce friction across the drivetrain, and a metal counter gear increases reliability. Battery mounting uses hook-and-loop straps for easy access and quick changes.
The Kyosho Turbo Optima combines period styling with straightforward, serviceable engineering, making it a good choice for both collectors and those who want a nostalgic drive on modern terrains.
