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.
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.
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.
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.
The Kyosho Optima Mid 30622 is an attractive blend of authentic styling and useful modern improvements, suitable for collectors and active drivers who value classic handling with up-to-date parts.
