Optima Mid 30622 - vintage pedigree remade for modern use

The Kyosho Optima Mid made its mark in 1987 at the World Electric Off-Road Car Championships, taking second in the A-Main. The updated Kyosho 30622 revives that race-bred silhouette while integrating enhancements aimed at present-day hobbyists and racers.

Original layout refined with contemporary chassis material

The mid-motor architecture that influenced later buggies remains central to the design. A 6061T6 aluminium chassis provides a stiffer, more durable backbone suited to current running conditions.

Mechanical updates that support on-track performance

This edition retains classic mechanical intent but adds practical upgrades: a 48-pitch gear system for accurate ratio choice, a belt tensioner for steady drive engagement, and FRP shock stays to improve suspension stability similar to the Turbo Optima Mid.

Period appearance with practical aerodynamic options

The body mirrors the original race lines and the package includes updated wheels and Turbo Optima tyres for improved grip. A reinforced nylon rear wing, used on the Javelin, allows angle adjustments to help balance front and rear handling.
